      ***TLDR***

      Finland has suspended its bilateral development cooperation with Somalia due to the latter’s insufficient progress in repatriating its citizens who do not hold Finnish residence permits. Minister Ville Tavio announced that new funding decisions will be paused until there are tangible advancements in this area. However, ongoing projects will continue, and humanitarian aid, support from NGOs, and private sector contributions will remain unaffected. Finland allocated between 8 to 9 million euros annually for this cooperation. Tavio expressed hope for improved relations to support repatriation efforts while emphasising the importance of managing returns safely.

      Every country should take this approach.
      It should also be a condition on the “Everything but Arms” scheme.
      > The EBA scheme removes tariffs and quotas for all imports of goods (except arms and ammunition), coming into the EU from least developed countries (LDCs).

      European nations should stop pouring resources into places that do not want to do even the bare minimum of cooperation.

      Blows my mind that there are countries that refuse to take back their own citizens. 

      Many MENA countries are like this. And honestly, we should refuse entry for citizens that come from countries that refuse to take their own citizens back.

      Can you imagine Norway saying “Nah, he’s tour problem now” to Thailand wanting to expell a Norwegian citizen?

      Are there any international laws preventing the Finnish navy, from sailing to the gulf of Aden and releasing a couple of rowboats with repatriated Somalis near the coast?

      Edit: It obviously would be, if they had a pending asylum case, but assuming their case has been completed and it’s been determined, that they are not at risk in Somalia.

      Someone will have to explain to me why citizens of nations who refuse to cooperate in taking back their people are allowed to ever step foot in Europe.

      The day they refuse to take even one single person back their people should be banned.

      When they cooperate and take everyone back they can resume. Rinse repeat. And the foreign aid should be cut off permanently anyways. Why is the west funding the development of countries who show zero desire to “develop” with our values? We want stronger Islamic theocracies that practice FGM and the like?

      Somalia has bigger economic growth percent than Finland, so by Kokoomus standards, they are doing better than us anyway.

      Is just logical. It is funny that we are living in a time that something absolutely logical is a headline…

      Why would Somalia want to take back unemployed people who live on welfare?

      Now recognise Somaliland and send the immigrants there? I think Somaliland would be happy to take in those people in return for recognition.

      [Also the president of Somaliland is literally a Finnish citizen.](https://yle.fi/a/74-20125753) Which is kind of baller IMO.

      I volunteered a couple years in an Asylum centre with Save the Children.

      I swear, we had so many problems with the Somalis. The Somalis kids behaved incredibly badly and constantly started fights with each other etc. Their parents were even worse and loud.

      In those two years, a couple Somali families were super lovely with the most behaved sweet children. Polar opposite of the majority of Somalis.

      But the majority of Somalis like +90% come from a cave or something…

      We should do that as the eu as a block and do this with all countries that do not take back citizens that are not refugees and will not get visa to stay in the EU.

      And we should reward countries that do with better trade and possibly financial help etc.
