Dies ist ein so tragischer Vorfall, an dem Asylsuchende ohne Eltern oder Erziehungsberechtigte in diesem Land beteiligt waren. Es gab viel öffentliche Diskurs über Einwanderer und Schwimmfähigkeiten und Eltern, die ihre Kinder nicht beobachten – wer ist in diesem Fall verantwortlich?
"Abdirazak Sugulle Mohamed, ein Vertreter der Moscheen von Uusimaa, hoffte, dass sich die Entscheidungsträger dem Thema verantwortungsbewusst angehen. Er fügte hinzu, dass Schwimmfähigkeiten Teil eines breiteren, allgemeineren Gesprächs in Finnland sein sollten.
"Wir sollten nicht einfach über die Schwimmfähigkeiten von Einwanderern oder Somalis sprechen." Mohamed sagte auf einer Pressekonferenz von prominenten Mitgliedern der somalischen Gemeinde am Mittwoch.
Abdulrahman Rage aus der finnischen Somali -Liga sieht schwimmen als wichtige bürgerliche Fähigkeiten für alle, die in Finnland leben, einem Land der Seen.
Wut betonte, dass das Problem nicht als als erteilt werden sollte "uns" gegen "ihnen" und fordert die Regierung auf, in maßgeschneiderte Programme zu investieren, um Schwimmfähigkeiten zu verbessern."

What were they doing in finland without their parents. I heard one had parents living in kenya, which doesnt seem to be that bad place.
“He added that swimming skills should be part of a broader, more general conversation in Finland.”
Isn’t swimming literally part of elementary school? I remember doing it in year 1
Maybe don’t play in deep water if you can’t swim?
I don’t really understand why they’d want the conversation to be more general. Usually it helps address issues more when you identify who they’re hurting most. Like if there were a particular street where pedestrians are getting hit by cars and say 80% of the incidents happen there, you wouldn’t want to say it seems there’s a safety issue in the city in general with cars and pedestrians. You’d want to look at specifically the street its happening on so you could design it to be safer.
It seems to me being more general will help those most at risk a lot less than helping those at risk more directly.
As a Finnish kid, back in late 1980s/90s, I swam swimming real far out. In 3rd grade I visited Florida and swam way out to the boat line and was snorkeling/diving – Atlantic waves and zero security. Saw amazing fish etc. Waves got a bit much and the ocean there rip tides etc, so swan back to shore. Finnish kid swimming since birth knows my limit, my kid learned to swim from a deep dive jump into water by 4 years old. Most of the world don’t have the ability to learn how to swim, I’m grateful I do have clean waters to swim all summer.
Can’t these imams talk about the subject with their congregations? Spread the word and maybe help out in finding swimming instructors? The way they’re represented in the media, they’re the ones somalis go when there’s a problem.
– Thing happens to immigrant or in an immigrant community, primarily because of a lack of personal responsibility taken
– Somehow the conversation should be broad and general, social programs involved
But why though? With Europe as a whole going through a financial crisis for the 5th year now (if not longer, considering Russia’s shit started in 2014 which fucked oil prices), a conversation is ought to be had about certain communities‘ complete lack of personal responsibility and reliance on the government for the smallest things down to a ridiculous degree
Why shouldn’t we focus on the swimming skills of immigrants or somalis, if that’s who can’t swim and who are drowning? Ofc you go fix the problem where it is. Braindead guy
