#DontBuyDeath is trending in Somalia among twitter users after the death of more than 230 young Somalis in the Mediterranian sea on Monday.Boats carrying over 400 migrants capsized along the Egyptian shores on its way to Europe.

Twitter users in Somalia and elsewhere took to the social media to sensitize the young people about the dangers of the journey amid the attractions by Facebook on the other side.

Some of the users faulted the government for failing to create awareness or creating employment opportunities while others blamed countries used by migrants as transit.
