Somali people would like the British politicians not to interfere the Somali country’s affairs and its sovereignty. This campaign will be seen as new colonial approach trying to divide and rule Somalia. The latest campaign led by Gavin William MP has angered over 300,000 Somali diaspora in UK. By continuing this campaign can bring unrest between the Somali community in the UK which can lead violence. Also, this will increase the mistrust and alienation of the Somali diaspora in the UK.
