Representatives from north London’s Somali community say hundreds of children have been flown to Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya because of rising concerns over drug gangs and county lines, the criminal networks that use children to transport drugs from cities to the provinces.
In a series of interviews, Somali mothers who arrived in London after fleeing their country during its 1990s civil war told the Observer that many of their sons had asked to leave the UK because of drug gangs and the threat of violence."

With help from organised crime gangs branching out instead of competing in the city.
It's also not true that knife crime is higher outside of london. homicides with a knife as the weapon are higher per 100,000 in other areas but knife crime is 3 times higher in London than anywhere else.

Knife crime is rising in wales in part because of organised crime. you've got gangs coming in from from liverpool, manchester, and london. Same with the home counties - knife crime is rising there because of gangs spreading out from london.
And here's a snippet from your bbc link
"For every 100,000 people in the capital, there were 168 knife offences in 2017-18...
Next highest was the West Midlands, with 72 knife offences per 100,000 population, and Yorkshire and the Humber, 79."

Makes a nice change to sending their daughters to Somalia to have their genitals sliced apart with a rusty razor blade, then sewn up, with no anesthetic...
