Somali Ambassador Visits Minnesota:

The Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Somalia His Excellency Ali Sharif Ahmed was welcomed by the Somali Uluma of Minnesota and the Somali community of Minnesota when he came to Minneapolis this previous Saturday. The Ambassador had an intimate breakfast with the Somali Uluma of Minnesota and discussed several issues. He expressed that he is proud of the progress of the Somali-American community. He is also interested in strengthening support between the embassy and the Somali-American community. The ambassador pointed out that the Somali Embassy is working hard and that the embassy is in need of a residence to conduct the business of the Somali state and asked the Scholars to support the embassy. The current Somali Embassy is in a great area however it does not have a residence like traditional embassies around the globe.

The Scholars also offered advice to the ambassador and advised him to be just and to put the Somali national interest above all else. They also pledged their support to help the Embassy.

That evening there was a private invite-only reception organized by the Somali Uluma of Minnesota and the Somali Community of Minnesota to welcome the ambassador. The ambassador was once again welcomed by the scholars and other leaders of the community. The leaders in the community also pledged their support of the embassy along with representatives of the five regional states of Somalia.
