Exchange Student Information

When Trump became president, he considered to restrict people from 12 countries from entering the United States.

We believe that he should put all those countries which were formerly a part of Somalia on this list.

In one part now known as Somaliland a new industry has established itself. It is a industry of extreme religious boarding schools where parents who live in the United States and Europe can send their children to if the children become too American or too European in their customs.

That is a problem when we address the security issues in every country in the world because closed school environments can be abused allowing the children to be forced into being taught about violence and that terrorism can be a tool to change the world.

We ordinary citizens in Europe and United States want to live in peace. Allowing children to leave our countries so they are placed in schools abroad where they learn to disgust our way of life and even fight it, is a serious threat against our peaceful lives.

We urge Trump and the American administration to put the area of Somalia on a watch list. We ask their customs to detain and interview every traveller leaving for and coming from the Somali area so it can be determined if they are parents or relatives to a child being detained at one of these boarding schools.

If they have a child at one of these schools they should be detained until the child is safely back in the United States where they then should be put under the protection of the social services.

If the parents then should be allowed to stay in the United States must be up to the court system to decide.

We are aware that many of the parents of Somali origins believe that they are only doing what other American parents do when they hire professionals to put their children in handcuffs and shackles so the children can be taken to Missouri or Utah where they are put into likewise religious boarding schools. The parents have a point.

Why target children with one religion when children are put through similar abuse just inside the United States?

Well. In an ideal world the United States should also put their foot down on all closed boarding schools in the United States. No child should be allowed to be contained under conditions which allows them less rights and more severe conditions compared to what they would experience in local prisons if they had broken the laws and the conditions in local boarding schools in Missouri and Utah are really bad.

But the laws are not there. Federal legislation making it difficult to bring children across state lines into states where legislators and law authorities do not care about children are not in place.

But border control to and from outside United States exist. Here is a chance to put the foot down and prevent abuse and the possibility that the children are introduced into terrorism.

That is why the United States should put the areas of the former Somalia on their watch list and restrict travelling to and from this area

This is a blog covering the area of exchange students. It has been brought into our attention that some of the teenagers who are detained in Somaliland were sent there under the pretext of being exchange students. That is our reason for posting this message sent to us from a human rights organization.

Spain seems to leave the path of democracy moving back to the old days when Franco was in power when they issued the arrest warrants for local politicians in Catalonia.

We recommend that future exchange students look at other countries instead of Spain when they consider in which country they want to become exchange students.

We also recommend that present exchange students in Spain are kept monitored by their families back home so they can be pulled out very quickly if the situation becomes violent. Spain suffered heavily the last time when the local parliament at that time were forced out by Franco.

In general we also recommend a full stop dealing with Spanish firms and supporting their turism industry until they agree to negociate with the local parliament. To a start they could demand that the voters are listened to again by arranging for a new vote for independence done under conditions of a higher standard.

The central government in Madrid does not seem to listen now. Let us hit them on their vallet until they start to respect democracy.

Keep your children safe and put pressure on the central government in Madrid so Spain can be a place for foreign exchange students again.
