Somali Australians are citizens and residents of Australia who are of Somali ancestry. Although the first Somali community in Victoria was established in 1988, most Somalis began to settle in the country in the early 1990s following the civil war in Somalia.〔 Somali Australians are active in the nation's cultural and political scenes, having also contributed significantly to local business.〔 ==Demographics== According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the 2006 national census counted 6,403 Somali immigrants residing in Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.immi.gov.au/media/publications/statistics/immigration-update/people-australia-2013-statistics.pdf )〕 The AHRC indicates that they are among the smaller Arab Australian populations in the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.humanrights.gov.au/sites/default/files/content/racial_discrimination/isma/report/pdf/appendices.pdf )〕 While the Somali community in Victoria was first established in 1988,〔(History of immigration from Somalia )〕 most Somalis began to settle in the country in the early 1990s following the outbreak of the civil war in Somalia. About 80 per cent of the new arrivals came under the aegis of the local Refugee and Special Humanitarian Program. As with many other immigrant communities, Somali community organizations are also supported through the national Diverse Australia Program, a grass-roots informational and financial initiative aimed at enhancing societal relations.〔(Senator Evans to attend Somali festivities in Melbourne )〕 Somalis are especially well represented in Victoria, having been drawn to the region's Muslim community, job opportunities and reputation for cultural diversity. The 2006 census reported some 2,624 Somalia-born residents in Victoria, a 14% rise from the previous census five years prior.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Somali Australian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
