At 1st I heard they were refugee’s that were given residence. According to their application they put down *Single mother with an additional 5 children, age ranging from 16 to 4*
I don’t know the exact details but they also claimed that one of the kids is not well. He suffers from some unusual medical problem – or so his mother claimed.
Because this Somali woman is registered as a single mother with 5 dependants and one with extra needs – the social services are obliged to help those with the highest housing and communal needs. And so as a result she jumps in the housing, school & healthcare queue because of that.
Now, Somali gossip being as informative and juicy as it … it turns out this woman was not a refugee at all. (Typical) She and her kinds were originally from the Middle East. Whether its Kuwait or someplace else I’m not certain. All her kids are fluent in Arabic and have been privately school and know English too. Her husband has not left her at all. He is a man who works for a Lucrative Oil company and makes an incredible amount of money. He will be moving in Shorty with his wife and kids.
This family from what I’ve heard are considerably wealthy (by Somali standards) – I just can’t get my head around why they’ve lied to get all these social benefits when their father could have probably afforded everything. Are Somalis innately greedy? Very bizarre if you ask me.
