In Alberta, the drug business is worth over $5 billion annually and is controlled by well-established gangs such as Hells Angels, native gangs and Asian triads. According to criminal experts, the ‘newbies’ — what the Somali-Canadians are called — are running headlong into other groups, rubbing people the wrong way and triggering turf wars in which they are coming out the losers.
Edmonton police and criminologists suspect Somali-Canadians aren’t even part of true gangs with guns and backup — just young naïve men in loosely organized groups.
Some Somali-Canadians have been recruited by other gangs and are being used at the lowest level as peddlers or mules to deliver drugs, says William Pitt, a former RCMP officer and now a professor of criminology at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton.
“That makes them a disposable commodity — if the police get them, they don’t know much or have large quantities (of drugs) on them; and if they die... they are no loss to the gangs,” he says.





Very ignorant comment Wallahi. If your brother/cousin/friend was murdered, would u appreciate this comment from anyone, let alone a fellow Somali?None of my business.




If that has happened to you bro, my condolences. I meant I have just gotten sick and tired of Somalis acting like this when they were brought from refugee camps, given opportunities, and many others back home dying in the seas trying to get the stability they have here. But they choose to go around and not take advantage of the opportunities presented to them.Very ignorant comment Wallahi.

Thanks for explaining it Abdiwahab.Guhad,
Skinnies are dumb. Why get involved in the trade in the first place ? If you are going in, why be involved in retail which is risky instead of wholesale ?
The Skinnies are slaughtering themselves for scraps![]()
Kambuli, Yungfresh & Guhad,
We all have sympathies for the innocents caught up in the crossfire but who cares about the dope slinging clowns![]()
Slinging dope = high risk occupation with potential hazards like death, prison and bodily harm.
