The Somali citizen who holds the citizenship of Finland, the video he recorded has spread widely on social media, especially TikTok, and his action has created fear in other Somali people who fear that it will affect their lives.




The video also angered the people of Turkey who saw the act of the man as a disrespect to their country and their money.

Turkish security officials said that they are investigating the man mentally, and it is possible that he will be brought to court soon and sent to prison.

Turkey, which is a friend of Somalia, has a large number of Somalis who have entered the country in recent years, but some of the actions of Somalis are feared to affect them and ban them from leaving the country, and those who are there are hated.
