The government of Finland has announced that it has stopped its bilateral support and cooperation with Somalia, citing Somalia’s refusal to deport its citizens from Finland.<\/p>\n

This decision was announced by the Minister of Trade and Development Ville Tavio (Party of Finland) when he held a press conference. The decision affects Finland’s aid program for the next four years with Somalia.<\/p>\n

Finland has discussed this issue many times with the Somali leaders, but no solution has been found yet, according to the Minister of Trade of Finland.<\/p>\n

The minister said that the return of Somalis who are illegal in the country is possible, but now he has made it clear that they do not have a sufficient level to be returned.<\/p>\n

Tavio noted that the Somali aid program can be restarted if Somalia agrees to accept the deportation of its citizens from Finald.<\/p>\n

“For Somalia, this could be a good deal, so they can get support from us for the development of their society to get their citizens back,” said Tavio.<\/p>\n

More than 20,000 Finnish citizens of Somali origin are in the country.<\/p>\n

When asked if cutting development aid could lead to an increase in immigration to Somalia, the Finnish minister dismissed the idea.<\/p>\n

“It is often used as an argument that the number of migrants can be controlled with development aid. I don’t see it that way myself. Our development cooperation money is very small, it has no direct impact on migration,” he said.<\/p>\n

Instead, he suggests that broader European migration policies play a significant role in influencing migration trends.<\/p>\n

Finland has been supporting Somalia for decades with programs focused on education, health, and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n
