Spiralling knife, drugs, and gang crime in London has been leading many concerned Somali parents to send their teenage offspring, who grew up in Britain, away to Africa for their own safety.
With 50 to 70 per cent of members of the Somali community in Islington, north London, “directly affected” by knife violence and ‘county lines’ drugs crime, mothers who arrived from the troubled African country during the 1990s told the Observer they felt they had “no choice” but to send their children away from an increasingly dangerous UK.
Sadia Ali, the treasurer of the Islington Somalia Forum and a mother of seven, said she sent her 15-year-old son away to live in the country she once fled as a result of the threat of local gang violence in London, telling the newspaper that many other families in the area have done likewise for their children’s safety.
“Hundreds of youngsters have been taken to Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya, some taken all the way to the rural areas. Parents feel they have no choice if they want their son to be safe,” she said.
Rakhia Ismail, Islington deputy mayor, added: “Sending them away has become the only way they can be safer. This issue of safety has been repeatedly raised by the community but nobody has listened. So many children have gone abroad. Two weeks ago, there was a stabbing and a child was taken back home two days later.”
Yusuf Sheikh Omar, a research associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, lamented last week that “knife crime in British cities has brought many young Somalis into the criminal justice system and claimed several lives”.
Young Somali men in Western nations are growing up “alienated and at risk of violence”...

Wow. When even the savages are fleeing their own kind in Britain to go back to the jungle it’s got to be really bad!
Well there you go.
thanks for the giggle
I’ll predict within three years....at least 3,000 teenagers will be removed from London and sent elsewhere, to ensure their survival. Even on tourism, if nothing is done to correct matters, it’ll decrease by a third in the same time period.
Just as long as they’re sent back to their native lands and not to the U.S.
Now that’s a trend I’d like to see happen here.
If only they outlawed knives...

I visited London 6 times and spent a lot of time in north London between 1976-1983 . Had a girlfriend who worked in Islington . I can’t recall ever seeing a non-white person up there . White as a the driven snow ...
I stayed in Islington in 2002. It was pretty up market trendy at the time. Obviously not so much now. Heaps and heaps of cocaine in London nowadays. Back then there was no problem walking in the middle of the night. Oh dear old England how far have you fallen!
That’s pretty bad.
But it goes to show it’s them, not the location.
Problem is they’re all flying out on 737 MAXs.
... and forks, bats, bricks, pipes, chains, brass knuckles, lead filled saps, cars, acid and 101 other things that can be used to kill or maim.
Wow. I get the impression a lot of American families feel the same way. They'd like to get their children out of the sewers that democrats, liberals and libertarians have created.
Interesting.
On doubt the 'exiled' kids will maintain their right to UK lifetime welfare.
