Somalis in Sweden

Somalis in Sweden

You might be asking how many Somalia-born immigrants are living in a special country like Sweden.  According to several institutions, nearly 63,853 people are from Somalia families.

In fact, after the civil war on Somalia, many of them were moved to Sweden and remain there until these days.

These are the concerning data we have got:

·        Half of the Somali women do not live with the father of their children, so basically, only 3 out of 10 Somalis are receiving primary school education.

·        1 out of 5 Somali men will be prosecuted and charged with cases of robbery or assault. These are violent youngsters.

·        Also and even more concerning, 4 out of 5 Somali immigrants are unemployed and only 70% have some kind of primary education.

A whole different culture

People in Sweden are not especially welcoming with the Somalis immigrants, and most they treat them as outcasts. Sometime to be expected as they are a non-intellectual or least educated as other immigrants coming from a country with the best education system.

Lack of education is a direct consequence of violence, outcast and bad life in general.

The culture in Sweden is completely different from the culture on Somalia –not speaking of the weather-, and that’s why probably these immigrants are having such a bad time in integrating into the Swedish culture.

Their integration is about time, like all those immigrants from different cultures in different powerful countries in the world. However, it’s taken more time than expected and causing a lot of trouble to the security and the politic situation in Sweden.
