In other words you have no information which contradicts what is stated in the article so you turn to ad-hominem tactics. For what it is worth the same statistics can be found in many other countries, Denmark [1], Sweden (where I live) [2] and The Netherlands (where I'm from) [3,4] among them. You probably won't believe these either since they go against the desired narrative but I have to ask who you think is helped by this attitude. Are the governmental organisations which created these statistics just racist as well?

Here we're talking specifically about Somalis because people from that country have been in the news lately. The original tangent was that the lack of integration into host countries as well as the large dependency on social services together with the taboo on mentioning any of these issues - as you so well displayed here - are a large cause of the tensions around migration.
