There are quite a few Somalian immigrants in NZ.  There was a disgusting episode
a few years ago when a couple of Somali boys aged about 9 were set upon and
beaten by a group of 20+ year old skinhead goons.  The saddest thing about it
was that the boys said they wanted to go back to Somalia, which was war torn at
the time.
