About us

Somali Dutch UK is a community-driven news and views platform created to serve Somali-born Dutch citizens living in the United Kingdom. Our mission is simple yet powerful:
To provide accurate, unbiased news and thoughtful commentary in the Somali language.

We recognize the unique position of our community — navigating life across cultures, countries, and identities. With many of us having roots in Somalia, passports from the Netherlands, and new lives in the UK, our stories, perspectives, and concerns deserve a dedicated space.

Here, we focus on:

  • Current affairs that matter to our community — locally in the UK, in the Netherlands, and back home in Somalia
  • Community news highlighting Somali Dutch voices, successes, and initiatives
  • Views & analysis from within the diaspora — tackling the issues that affect us, in our language and from our perspective
  • Culture & identity, bridging generations and celebrating the richness of who we are

We are committed to delivering content that is independent, balanced, and relevant, while remaining deeply connected to our community’s values and experiences.

Whether you’re newly arrived in the UK or part of a long-established Somali Dutch family, this platform is your voice, your mirror, and your connection.

Welcome to Somali Dutch UK. Your news. Your views. Your community.
