From Somalia to America to Somalia
Share
When you have a few minutes, I highly recommend this video produced by the New York Times. It tells the story of 37-year-old Mohamed Aden who for the last year has served as the leader of the small town of Adado, Somalia. He only recently returned to Somalia after spending roughly 16 years in Minnesota where he earned a college degree at Minnesota State, while supporting himself by parking cars and working in a factory.
His return to Somalia, and his attempts to maintain a fragile peace and support development efforts in his village are truly fascinating. You can watch the full video by clicking the image below:
