UN: Somalis leaving Somalia in ever larger numbers

Kind of makes you wonder if Somalia will end up with an empty country at this rate.   Guess they are getting the word, go West (North too) young man.   America, Canada, Australia, Europe, brace yourselves for more.

From UNHCR:

UNHCR* is alarmed by the continuing deterioration of the situation in Somalia, forcing an increasing number of Somalis into displacement. The number of Somali refugees arriving to neighbouring countries during the first quarter of this year has more than doubled in comparison to the same period in 2010.

Between January and March this year, nearly 50,000 new Somali refugees have been registered in the neighbouring Kenya, Ethiopia and Yemen. By comparison, some 23,000 fled during the same quarter last year.

[…..]

Somalia remains one of the countries generating the highest number of refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) in the world. An estimated 1.4 million Somalis are displaced within the country while another 680,000 live as refugees in the neighbouring countries.

*Just a reminder that Antonio Guterres the UN High Commissioner for Refugees is a Socialist, here.
