EXPLORING the Somali DIASPORA | A Deep Dive into Ugandan Refugee Life.

With over 60,000 urban refugees and a continuous influx of newcomers escaping the turmoil in Somalia, the Somali community in Uganda has grown significantly. In this video, I interview their acting chairperson, Mr. Khalif Mohammad, as I explore the reasons behind their migration - from seeking safety and stability to embracing the opportunities and warm welcome that Uganda provides.

The Nubians did not arrive in Uganda at the same time as the Somali people, contrary to what Mr. Khalif is suggesting. The Nubians were brought to Uganda by Captain Lugard of the IBECO at a different time. The Somali people came to Uganda later. Also..., the Nubian people were organized military personnel who assisted the British in colonizing East Africa. ..As a token of appreciation, they were granted a settlement in Uganda. It's worth noting that while the Nubians may not have possessed the same level of statecraft knowledge, the British were inclined to ensure that Uganda remained under their control. Mr Khalif needs to get his facts right..

[@CallMeFirdaus]

Interesting historical facts here. However, we can't refute Mr. Khalifs assertion, maybe they might have come around the same time due to colonial events, I wish we could get a Somali to clarify on this point, it'd be great.

[@nubianuniverse]

@@CallMeFirdaus The Nubians not only assisted the British but also played a crucial role in helping the Buganda Kingdom in repelling the Bunyoro people who were encroaching on the Kingdom's territory. What I'm saying is that the Nubian people worked diligently and made significant contributions, which truly justified their claim to Ugandan nationality..

[@CallMeFirdaus]

I get you now. So if the Somalis had proved that diligent then, they'd be having the same status as the Nubians? Thank you so much @NubianUniverse for enlightening us. ❤

[@malikij4514]

The first Somalis to arrive in Uganda arrived at the same time as the Nubians. I have relatives, some of whom are still living in Uganda and the rest in Tanzania and Australia. Likewise, most of the British colonies, and the doctor said, most of the Somalis went to other countries, and some of them returned. For example, the richest Somalis in 🇰🇪🇹🇿🇸🇩🇿🇦🇺🇬 are the descendants of those somalis. thrs diff b/w first somalis nd the somalis u know them nowadays. also those first somalis are from Somaliland, Puntland and Harar

[@malikij4514]

​@@CallMeFirdausWhen we talk about the first Somalis, the doctor’s words are correct. All countries occupied by the British. There are Somalis with whom they have arrived in Sudan, India, and South Africa for uganda some of my family wr gone thr late of 19c w britain they wr traders moved from somalia to zanzibar to uganda. My guy mixing the first somalis nd the somali community

When you go to Kashojwa, Nakivale camp in Isingiro district and the oldest refuge camp, you can't tell that it's Uganda but you may thinks it is in Mogadishu business centre. They went there in early 1990s. Am Uganda live from Jowhar, Somalia. Somalis here are also good and welcoming people.🇺🇬🇺🇬❤️🇸🇴🇸🇴

I hope President Joe Biden Will reconsider Uganda on the issue of AGOA renewals. President Museveni created a stable model country in the humane treatment of refugees from our troubled region and on peace keeping missions in general and on that front Uganda should be rewarded with prefrencial trade opportunities and not wholesale condemnation on what's essentially an internal legislative issue.

[@CallMeFirdaus]

Let's hope so, although from the look of things, he appears not to be on good terms with the US. .
