Concerns about Somalian emigrants

Summary

According to the United Nations around 15% of Somali citizens migrated to other countries last year because of a horrible drought and an armed insurgency in Somalia.

Abdinur Mohamed Ahmed, who is based in the capital of Somalia, appealed to his fellow not to leave their country by using Twitter. He claims that they have no reasons to emigrate because of insecurity since suicide attacks actually happened in Europe. And besides, he is worried about the impact which migrants will make on the future of Somalia. 

Opinion 

We need to think about this issue from two points of view.

Firstly, immigrating to Europe. There were some suicide attacks not only in Somalia but also in Europe, as like Abdinur said, so we cannot ignore the fact that the danger of terrorism is close to us. However, people in Europe are much safer than in Somalia when we consider about it objectively.

Secondly, future of Somalia. It is exactly as Abdinur say, if many of them leave their country, Somalia cannot exist. So I suggest repatriation which can solve this problem. They had better wait and see until the situation settles down, and they back home to rebuild their country.
