    did they stay there or return when it was safe??? In most if not all cases refugees should now be assisted in their home countries. - The world is too populated now

    About 20,000 stayed, the rest returned. Anyway, it's irrelevant, since Somalia is not safe yet.

    As usual, it's Ok for "us" to be or do something, its despicable if anybody else does the same.

    Oi.
    Well, it doesn't surprise me, since the American way of thinking often seems to be on the lines of like "hospitals don't need patients who have no money or insurance".

    I'm astonished to see that in the western world they always say " F--- you ". If you ever have the bad luck to annoy a romanian guy you'll hear what a real colorful and meaningful swearing is.

    These days I was watching some new romanian movies which have english subtitles and I was surprised to see that all our terrible swearings were translated by " F--- you".

    BTW, how do you know he was somalian?

    We have refugees from other African countries too but Somalians have a different skin color and facial feature from for instance Congolose. You just know it. I know it because I have an 11 years of experience from my work with Somalians.

    Somalians do have a very distinctive shape and size to their heads. Sounds strange but its true
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
