Open Letter
Mr. President,
Recently I have been listening to and reading the comments you made about the Somalis in Minnesota and Somalia as a whole. Much of what you said is true. Somalis, generally, have many shortcomings and faults. Somalia is a failed state that has gone 34 years without being able to build a functional, agreed-upon government. Today, Somalia faces poverty, insecurity, and corruption.
The responsibility and shame for this overall failure lies with the political class, of which I am part. It is true, and we cannot run away from the criticism that is clearly visible.
However, there are many good and peaceful people—people who simply want to raise their children and struggle daily to make a living.
There are also many Somalis who fled to America, built new lives, and became law-abiding Americans. Somalis who respect the laws and values of this country. Yes, there may be some who violate the law and commit crimes, and they must be held accountable.
Mr. President,
Somalis have a saying: “When a hypocrite lights a fire, the Muslim gets burned,” or “Rotten fat spoils other fat.”
Mr. President,
Please do not place the crimes of a few on the entire Somali community, and do not judge all Somalis by the actions of those who break the law.
Mr. President,
Somalis are a fragile and exhausted community. Lift the burden of these headlines off them so they can live in America in peace and without fear.
I thank you.

Warqad Furan
Mudane Madaxweyne,
Dhawaan waxaan dhageysanayay oo akhrinayay faallooyinka aad ka bixisay Soomaalida Minnesota iyo guud ahaan Soomaaliya. Inta badan waxaad sheegtay waa run. Soomaalida, guud ahaan, waxay leeyihiin cillado iyo cillado badan. Soomaaliya waa dowlad fashilantay oo 34 sano soo martay iyada oo aan awoodin inay dhisto dowlad shaqeyneysa oo la isku raacsan yahay. Maanta, Soomaaliya waxay wajahaysaa saboolnimo, amni darro, iyo musuqmaasuq.
Mas'uuliyadda iyo ceebta guuldarradan guud waxay saaran tahay fasalka siyaasadeed, kaas oo aan qayb ka ahay. Waa run, mana ka carari karno dhaleeceynta si cad u muuqata.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa jira dad badan oo wanaagsan oo nabdoon—dad si fudud u doonaya inay carruurtooda koriyaan oo ay maalin walba ku dhibtoonayaan inay nolol helaan.
Waxaa sidoo kale jira Soomaali badan oo u qaxay Ameerika, dhistay nolol cusub, oo noqday Mareykan sharci-darro haysta. Soomaali ixtiraamta sharciyada iyo qiimaha dalkan. Haa, waxaa jiri kara qaar jebiya sharciga oo gala dambiyo, waana in lala xisaabtamaa.
Mudane Madaxweyne,
Soomaalidu waxay leedahay maahmaah: "Marka munaafaq uu dab shido, qofka Muslimka ah waa la gubaa," ama "Dufan qudhuntay ayaa baruur kale kharriba."
Mudane Madaxweyne,
Fadlan ha saarin dambiyada dad yar bulshada Soomaaliyeed oo dhan, hana ku xukumin dhammaan Soomaalida falalka kuwa jebiya sharciga.
Mudane Madaxweyne,
Soomaalidu waa bulsho jilicsan oo daalan. Culayska cinwaannadan ka qaad si ay ugu noolaadaan Ameerika si nabad ah oo aan cabsi lahayn.
Waan ku mahadsan yahay.
Cabdi Faarax Siciid
