Diversity’s Blessings: Rival Somali Factions Riot, Ending Minneapolis City Council Convention
The New American ^ | May 27, 2023 | Selwyn Duke

When hearing about rival Somali political factions rioting, one might assume the event occurred in Somalia, where political violence is the norm. But the mayhem in question actually was in Minneapolis, where, increasingly, being Somali is the norm. (Apparently, “Minnesota nice” hasn’t rubbed off.)

Per The Post Millennial:

A riot erupted in Minnesota during Democrat nominations for Minneapolis City Council on Saturday [May 13], which led to no candidate being chosen in Ward 10 after officials were forced to shut down the event over safety concerns.

Somalian supporters of city council candidate Nasri Warsame turned to political violence and reportedly assaulted Minneapolis city council member Aisha Chughtai and her supporters when she took the stage to speak at the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s endorsing convention….

Video shows Warsame supporters forcefully jumping on stage, banging on tables, waving signs, and shouting over both Chughtai and her supporters.

Unable to contain the disruption, convention chairman Sam Doten was forced to adjourn the meeting without a candidate being chosen[,] citing safety reasons, and called the situation a great “embarrassment.”

The event was held at the Ella Baker Global Studies & Humanities Magnet School, a K-8 institution in the Uptown neighborhood.

Reporter Andy Ngo provided video (below) of the fracas and noted that in Somalia, “political violence is routine.”

I knew there was a good explanation.

G W MORON wants 20,000 of their “interpreters” shipped directly into your suburbs from Somalia. Don’t like it? Then you’re a racist!

We are importing that into the United States rapidly.

Like California and New York, Minnesota is becoming the model of our future.

Somalia is an s hole because Somalis like s holes. Just because they are on our soil won’t change them.

Just like tribes in Africa. Minneapolis is no longer America.

There’s an old saying: “You can take the animals out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the animals! (Although I’m sure it doesn’t apply here)

Minneapolis will soon be Mogadishu West.

Interesting that so many Somalians living there claim that life in Somalia is too dangerous for them, yet they fly back and forth to visit.

You can get them out of Somalia, but you can’t get the Somalia out of them.
