Minneapolis struggles with rise of Somali gangs
While many of the estimated 32 000 Somalis who settled in the United States state have struggled to adapt, Ali flourished. By age 20, he had blazed a path to Minneapolis' Augsburg College, where he played soccer, studied political science and aspired to a political career modelled on President Barack Obama's.
Gangs like the Somali Hot Boyz, the Somali Mafia and Madhibaan with Attitude have grown more active in recent years, said Jeanine Brudenell, the Minneapolis Police Department's Somali liaison officer.
He was shot dead in September outside a busy community centre where he worked part-time as a youth counsellor, and prosecutors said the 16 year old accused of killing him was part of a gang.
Folks, do any of these countries have problems with immigrants from America?
