Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Somali-Americans at Minnesota anti-tax rally on 2013.
A brutal attack by Somali militants on a college in Kenya last week took 148 lives–and triggered renewed fears throughout much of East Africa. But the aftershocks of the attack, for which the group al-Shabab took credit, stretch to many Somali-American communities on the other side of the globe. We explore the complex issues communities in the Somali diaspora are facing in the United States in the wake of last week’s attack.
