Huge Convention in Minneapolis
The event will address raids on Somali businesses, the consequences of sensational news reports on “the missing,” intimidation by law enforcement agents, and other issues impacting Somali Minnesotans. Despite recent challenges, the Somali community remains resilient and continues to engage and exist in this state as Somali-Minnesotans. Speakers will address the dual identities Somali-Americans possess, and shed light fluid, transnational identities Somalis maintain.
Finally, the convention will address the significance of Islam to Somalis, and the notion of the mosque as a healing center for the community.
Speakers and poets will represent diverse professional and life experiences.
Speakers include:
Meredith Aby
Sacdiyo Aden
Sh. Abdirahman Sh. Omar Ahmed
Abia Ali
Mohamed Diini
Rep. Keith Ellison
Sh. Omar Fiqi
Sh. Abdirahman Haguf
Sara Martin
Sh. Hassan Mohamud "Jaamici"
Abdirahman Mukhtar
Sh. Mohamed Mursal
Sh. Sa'ad Muse
Aman H.D. Obsiye
Dr. Mohamed Osman
Rep. Erik Paulsen
Hashi Shafi
Rep. Steve Smith
Students Against Violence
Abdifatah Mohamed Abdi (somali American contact group)
Phillip Daves(Professor at MCTC)
Looking forward this. I'd like to hear Hassan Jaamici and the Young Sheikh Mr Diini from Ohio

They US authorities need to send these trouble some refugees back home, they cant obviously act civilized in the state's.
Lately more negative news about somalis comes out of that little tuulo in America then the whole of the UK. You'll need to fix up, and sharp.

Too bad Rep. Michelle Bachmann isnt on the list of speakers. I'd be dying to know what she has to say on this particular issue

General. You calling Minni a tuulo? I am sure the Somalis in Minneapolis are way richer and more productive than those lazy, qaat eating euro trash, but you should know better.
I bet they would have had a local KKK if it wasn't so cold, they'd freeze before the mix the tar and feathers.
