Weapons Trafficking in Somalia

As a result, loyalty and boundaries become fluid and change according to personal interests. Somalia: Weapons Culture Somali people think we need weapons to survive in their surroundings. Somalia also considers ownership of guns as an identity and position indicator (Schroeder & Guy, 2006, p. 62). You can purchase small weapons at the street market without limiting purchasers (TCC, 100 pages). One of the street markets is Mogadishu's Bakaara market known as Cirtoogte, or "aerial shot" for purchasers to test weapons before purchase (UNSC, 2011).

We will target criminal and criminal organizations across borders. The goal of EO is cross-border criminal acts such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, weapons trading, cyber crime etc. Target organizations include criminal organizations (streets), cartels, and other organized crime. Criminal prosecution of visa fraud In many cases, visa fraud is punished by the result of immigration control and the result is civilian rather than criminal. Visa fraud is subject to criminal penalty, but these violations rarely happen to criminals. EO instructed US law enforcement agencies to prosecute visa fraud in criminal cases in a situation suspected of involvement in criminal activity. It is not clear whether this implies that only those people deeply involved in criminal enterprises will be prosecuted or whether they will include people who buy fake visas from criminal enterprises.

Trafficking of weapons is not a main source of income, but complements a few organized crime groups. Most groups are entering weapons trafficking business through other criminal activities that may provide links and knowledge of existing routes and infrastructure related to smuggling weapons. Weapons and organized crime groups involved in arms trading are mainly from the West Balkan Peninsula (these weapons are illegally possessed after recent conflicts in this area) and the former Soviet Union. Illegal motorcycle gangs are also involved in trafficking in weapons and have branches in the Western Balkans. Organized criminal groups ship weapons using existing criminal routes

Trafficking will pollute our community beyond what we recognize. Many traffickers are often involved in illegal activities rather than selling their children to slaves. When a trafficker enters the community, it carries drugs, weapons, corruption and violence. All of these increase the chances that young people in communities are involved in illegal activities or even worse for being sold as slaves. If our young people are in danger, our future will be in danger. No one does not want to face the bad things like selling children in their backyard. But the first and most important step to solving the problem is to understand that the problem is real. We need to understand that we also have the ability to act on this basis.
