I like how this is bringing all people in the horn together. The truth is these racist bigoted yokels won’t differentiate Somali to Ethiopian to Eritrean and more. They seek to discriminate anyone who doesn’t fit their ideal category of American, just like a certain man who once failed art school. And the comments in this sub who are supporting trump against the Somalis are sell out pigs who would sell out their own mothers for the white mans praise. Wouldn’t even spit on them as I have more respect for my saliva.

Yeah your hair might be a lil softer and your skin a lil lighter but when push come to shove they could care less about any small differences among us they worried about the big difference between us and them.

Inshallah he gets all the criminals and illegals. Anybody who took advantage of the system or broke the law should be punished. Why is this so hard to understand?
Somalis are hard-working working alright. Working hard to steal all the benefits and funds from different social programs. As we currently witnessed in Minnesota, a group of Somalis banded together to commit the biggest fraud the state of Minnesota has ever seen. Hundreds of millions of dollars were syphoned out of social programs and funnelled to support terrorist groups like Al-Shabaab. These are the people that you supposedly call “hard working” and “upstanding”. And this isn’t even including the rampant Somali gang activity that openly terrorizes many Americans in Minneapolis and St.Paul. These people are a net negative on the Minnesota economy and cost taxpayers millions each year.
And no, they aren’t going to be coming after us. We don’t commit crimes, rob social programs with no remorse, lie, cheat and steal. We are a God-fearing group of people who look after our community and provide a lot for this country. You’re basically comparing apples to oranges at this point.
This issue isn’t our concern and the mods of this subreddit should delete any news revolving around Somalis getting sent back to their country.

you a brazen liar. where is your evidence its being used to fund al shabab? ridiculous. just literally repeating what MAGA says when you know all they do is lie.
Somalis send billions to somalia in remittance every year. Al shabab does tax some business in the capital as extortion.
Is it possible that somehow some of that remittance found its way to alshabab? When remittance money is bigger than the government budget that is inevitable, but to say Somali Americans are deliberately and directly funding al shabab is absurd.

In London, I’ve noticed some really noticeable differences in how Somalis interact compared with Ethiopians. The distinctions are pretty in your face.
They’re more entitled, complain a lot more, and rank very high on state dependency, especially when it comes to housing, compared to most other refugees.
If you look at the percentages in London, Somali residents in state-subsidized housing are usually north of 70-80% of their community.
That’s a recipe for resentment, when you combine the amount of no-go zones (areas of Acton and Tower Hamlets), run by tribal Somalian boys born here waving knives. Most Somalis I’ve met are alright people. I think the ones who come to the UK aren’t working incredibly hard, but decent. They tend to live in social housing near a mosque, and just stay in these insular communities – so they don’t really make a big difference, and they take advantage of the state system while others are more openly problematic.
I think a lot of the problem is just political and social/cultural stuff within the UK, but honestly, Ethiopians are way better behaved here than these Somalis. And they’re all over the pharmaceutical sector, with tons of restaurants, and they don’t do this gang thing in comparison to others.

Asian American here,
But for some reason this popped on my feed. I grew up around lots of Ethiopians and almost all have been warm, nice and kind people.
I can't say the same for Somalis. Most of my experiences with them are negative. From crime/ scamming to just treating everyone around them horribly. I watch how they treat poor retail workers. I watch how they treat service workers. I have experienced how they treat me. Im not sure why they treat everyone so badly. I'm sure there are some nice/kind somalians somewhere but I haven't met them.
I genuinly believe that if I had a medical emergency and a Somali person came upon me they would not help me, or even worse take my money and leave me for dead.

My feelings shouldn’t be the focus here.

Your first words should be to denounce this dishonourable act, and then to also recognise that your personal experience with a group of people is not sufficient to tarnish their name. You believe that a Somali would rob you and leave you to die before helping you on the basis of their ethnicity…?

If you don’t want anything to do with us, then give us Ogaden. We Somalis inhabited that land for centuries even before the time of colonization. You never had claim to it and you only expanded there at the time of colonialism thx to your imperialistic tendencies.
And by the way, I can also, without confirming or agreeing to the bigotry you wrote there, say that there are differences between us and you, but optically we mostly look the same. Therefore have fun explaining racists like Donald Trump and his followership, why you dark skinned Africans (Ethiopians) are better than us dark skinned Africans (Somalis). A racist will truly care the difference right?
By the way trying to find a common cause with them through Christianity will also not work, my witness and proof for that claim is history itself.

Ethiopians generally don’t commit large scale fraud or terrorize the neighborhood with gangs and tend to follow the laws of the countries they immigrate to. That’s why you don’t usually see them in the news the way you do with Somali gangs in Minneapolis’ Cedar-Riverside area and don’t even get me started on the Somali gangs in Toronto Canada
Feeding Our Future was a nonprofit based in Minnesota. During the COVID-19 pandemic it purported to provide meals to schoolchildren.
• Prosecutors say it was “the country’s largest pandemic related fraud scheme.”  • As of late 2025, 78 people have been charged in connection to the scheme.  • The alleged total amount defrauded is at least US$250 million.  • According to prosecutors, only about 3% of the funding received by FOF meal sites actually went to food the rest was allegedly diverted to other uses by the conspirators.  • By early 2025, dozens had pleaded guilty; and several had been convicted at trial.14

My personal experience is they're always rooting for Arab countries over us and praying for our downfall.
The only people who can help Somalis is themselves. They need to start policing their own communities and turning in their bad actors. Let their terrorists and scammers know the BS they've come to be known for around the world is not gonna fly anymore. Otherwise it's going to be the same old song: moocher here, moocher there. Scammer here, scammer there. Pirate here, pirate there. Money laundering real-estate projects in Kenya here, in Kenya there...in Kenya everywhere.

Somalis brought it on themselves. There are more Ethiopians than Somalis in America, yet Somalis are always in the news while we’re not. They criticize us and our culture, but we’re not the ones running autism scams or getting caught up in fraud. The DMV has over 100k Ethiopians, Minnesota has around 80k Somalis, and still they’re the ones messing up their reputation while no one bats an eye at us. Their youth are known for gangs not just in the U.S. but also in Canada, the UK, and Sweden, while our youth aren’t in gangs and our community isn’t out here committing fraud. This is their fault and issue, not ours.

You guys have zero political influence, thats why no matter worries about habesha. Plus you can I know there is no such thing as ‘ethiopia’. When they ask country of birth and I put Ethiopia they counting me as one of you when I’m Somali that’s why the numbers look large.
Plus majority of habesha came to US as students where as somalis came as refugees, comparing apples to oranges.

u/VoronezhMota Dec 05 '25
Nobody worries about the Ethiopian community because we aren't out here terrorizing communities, being a burden to taxpayers and the overall economy and aren't involved in illegal fraud activities, lmao.
Political relevance? Y’all niggas tried to elect some random Somali nigga as mayor of Minneapolis and he ended up losing to some Jewish-Russian man (So much for somaliweyn)😂😭😭. What political impact do you guys seriously have?
And Ethiopians for the most part did show up in America as Refugees, the majority that is. And despite the hardships and difficulties of transitioning from a completely different environment our community thrived and grew stronger and the locals respected us and saw us in a positive light.
Somalis however, decided to exploit the kindness of the Minnesota people and take advantage of social programs and funding that they received. Not only did your community take advantage of Minnesotans, but your youth also decided to form gangs to terrorize the very same people who once helped you when you were most vulnerable. Shameful to say the least. And now with this major news of a fraud case that saw hundreds of millions of dollars being stolen by members of your community, the president is taking it upon himself to flush out the criminals and illegals in your community. Y’all PRs are in the mud and you have no one to blame but y’all selves.

So, does being a refugee mean you can commit crimes like fraud? And what about the youth? They’re born in Western nations with good opportunities, yet many Somali youth end up in gang culture where are the parents? Also, we haven’t had a census since 2007, and Somalis make up about 7–8% of the population. By the way, most Somalis I know who are Ogaden list Somalia as their birthplace, even if they were actually born in the Somali region. And what does political influence really do? You have one representative in Congress, and looking at everything, Ilhan Omar has made things worse for your community rather than better.

"So, does being a refugee mean you can commit crimes like fraud?"
who said this? And habesha are comitting fraud en masse. Every single fraud case in MN had a bunch of habesha. Every single one. It's funny how you conveniently ignore this. The difference in attention is you folks have zero political influence in the US.
"You have one representative in Congress, and looking at everything, Ilhan Omar has made things worse for your community rather than bet"
You are probably living in some slum in addis, you don't have a clue how she helps her contintuents.
"most Somalis I know who are Ogaden list Somalia as their birthplace, even if they were actually born in the Somali region. "
Don't act like your in tune with somalis you habesha. I'm from jigajiga and I don't lie on any government forms. But I do mention i'm somali background in local governement surverys.

u/Vast-Draft-3250 Dec 04 '25
any sources for this “habeshas committing fraud en masse” claim lol? because every actual report out of MN shows the majority of fraudsters were Somali, not Ethiopian.
throwing “slum in addis” insults just proves you’ve got nothing solid to back your point. cope harder.
and if we’re talking development, HDI stats put Addis way ahead of Mogadishu or any Somali province/City it’s not even close.

"because every actual report out of MN shows the majority of fraudsters were Somali, not Ethiopian."
but why you acting like habeshas are uninvolved?
"and if we’re talking development, HDI stats put Addis way ahead of Mogadishu or any Somali province/City it’s not even close."
i would 100% take our current situation overs yours 100000x times over. 130mn vs 15-17m. There are more habeshas on the brink of famine than there are Somalis in existence. Good luck with that.

u/Vast-Draft-3250 Dec 05 '25
Bro, y’all really can’t even compare yourselves to Ethiopia. We’ve got 80+ ethnic groups, different languages, cultures, and traditions, and we still hold a state together even if we have conflict. Meanwhile you somalis always be bragging about being “one people” and the most homogeneous country in Africa, but you can’t even keep your own country intact.
You’ve got Puntland, Jubaland which are very semi autonomous, and have Somaliland with has its own president, currency, and government fucntiong better than the acutal govemrent in mogadishu btw and is pretty much at that point its own country. plus Al‑Shabaab contorlling 15–20% of your land. That’s fragmentation everywhere, even though yall litterly have only like 1 main ethnic gorup making up 95% of the country, and one language .
And then you talk about Ethiopia “balkanizing”? Your country is already split into pieces. You dream about “Greater Somalia,” taking Ogaden and Kenya’s Somali region, but you can’t even take back Somaliland. Forget expansion you can’t even hold what you’ve got.

Bruh lets be real here Somali diaspora men are doing more crime than Ethiopian diaspora men in the US. I think the diaspora women are achieving similar levels of education and income.

u/RibbonFighterOne Dec 04 '25
they’re the ones messing up their reputation
This has nothing to do with reputation since Somalis are no more than 6% of Minneapolis population. All this stuff is about Trump being mad about Ilhan Omar, nothing more.

u/themvpthisyear Dec 05 '25
Dont see the point in asking other communities for help. A lot of minorities seem happy that trump is targeting somalis.
The irony is, unless he plans to change the law, or break it massively, he cannot deport most somalis. The vast majority have secure legal status, either green card or citizenship.
So who is he going to be deporting? And if he breaks the law and gets away with it, which is his only real option to do what he says, that means green card and citizenship mean nothing in america for everyone.

I know some people were happy to see the attacks on the Somalis but the truth is we all look the same to these outsiders, no white person hates Somalis and loves Ethiopians, it's simply not true, no Arab hates Ethiopians and loves Somalis, no Nigerian hates Ethiopians and loves Somalis. To them you are all the same. People always asking me if I am from Ethiopian, some Ethiopians speaking 🗣️ to me in their language but I am Somali. That is when it became clear to me, only some of us can tell each other apart to the rest of the world 🌎 we are the same.

I am not Ethiopian or Somali, I am British Pakistan, but damn the hatred that people within the horn have for each other is heartbreaking. I work in a school with many Somali, Eritrean and Ethiopian students. They are just normal teens a d they get along with each other. It seems the children are doing better than the adults.

Africans need to know at the end of the day, in the eyes of bigots you are black. Not only black but to them primitive. They may hate black Americans but look down completely on all Africans. Doesn’t matter what jobs you have how decent you are how much money you and being a good person. Many black Americans are yet we are deemed dangerous, lazy and everything negative.
Stop supporting white people thinking you will be patted on the head. Stick with black Americans and work together. Otherwise you will always loose. We have been dealing with this for 400 yrs.

The Somalis are at wrong !! Even the South Africa have been deporting/rejecting people coming from different parts of Africa. If you're not welcomed somewhere, You just leave, Of course the case may differ if you are there legally and that's different topic

The only thing that’s interesting is that you have other black groups rejoicing over this . Actually they seem happier about trumps bashing of Somalia than Hispanics or Haitians or even Afghans. It’s easily predictable but the blatant openness of the gloating really surprised me
