Better just to drive the cab in Minneapolis, boys ... | Somalis began arriving in the United States in significant numbers after the U.S. intervention in Somalia's humanitarian crisis in 1992. American media reports say last year, a group of Somali-Americans left Minneapolis and are feared to have been recruited into Al-Shabaab.
The president showed concern over the high number of Somalis coming from America to support Al- Shabaab's activities. "I am saying to those young men from abroad: 'Your families fled your home to America because of insecurity. You should not return here to ferment violence against your people,'" he said.
