million a year — the Somali community in Minnesota sends a minimum of $100 million a year back to Somalia.

“In particular [to] Boko Haram. If you don’t know who Boko Haram is, they are, basically, the African faction of ISIS,” he added.

According to a backgrounder from the Council on Foreign Relations, U.S. counterterrorism officials are “concerned” about Somali-based terrorist factions radicalizing like-minded expats living in the United States — especially in Minnesota:

Washington’s primary interest in Somalia has been preventing the country from becoming a refuge for terrorist groups to plot attacks on the United States and destabilize the Horn of Africa, where longstanding disputes among Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia fester. In recent years, U.S. officials have been wary of collaboration among militant Islamist organizations in the region, including al-Shabab, Boko Haram, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

U.S. authorities also remain concerned about the jihadi group’s ability to recruit members of the Somali diaspora living in the United States. Al-Shabab has attracted dozens of American volunteers to fight in Somalia, many from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
