Somalis in Cardiff

Recommended Posts

"Bangladeshis, too much," he tuts, as we enter the Riverside area where he lives, across the water from the Millennium Stadium. "One comes first and the other one follows." There's irritation, but no hatred in his voice. What about the people who say there are too many Somalis in Cardiff? "Yeah, I know," he hums.

Oh, I've been there. Just across from that large stadium. Old, three-storied houses with a small park in the middle form around the stadium.

Who knows Diiriye or Xaaji Muuse could be one of these men.
