Somali groups suspend wire transfers from Minnesota
A group of businesses providing money transfers between Minnesota and Somalia suspended services Thursday, saying it was forced into the move after a US bank shut down what the group called a vital lifeline to the war-torn African country.

Somalia has appealed the decision by Sunrise Community Banks to end the remittances program from Minnesota, the state that is home to the largest Somali-American community in the United States. US-based Somalis send about $100 million back home each year, according to the US Treasury.
Most of which goes to the Widows Ammunition Fund. Because the Somali widows always need more ammo.
