Support needed for young Somalis
More support for young Somali people is needed to help them integrate successfully, a report has found.
The document, Needs, Aspirations and Solutions, was produced by the Cardiff-based Somali Integration Society (SIS).
The group’s Ibrahim Harbi said the report would raise awareness of the needs, suffering and positive contribution of Somali people in Wales.
First Minister Rhodri Morgan will launch the report at the National Eisteddfod voluntary pavilion.
Mr Harbi said that unemployment, unwanted police attention and a lack of positive role models were some of the most important findings in the report.
