Closing my tour in the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway), as Norway is my last leg. I met hundreds, if not thousands, of Somalis from all walks of life & from every corner of Somalia, who settled there for the last 40 years, many of them well-educated  & handsomely employed while raising families.

We candidly discussed their aspirations, hopes, contributions toward their native country and their future plans. I am very grateful for their hospitality & superb reception and I am proud that I have positively connected to them & impacted their lives.

For them, I do share this moment and I do thank them for their time and courtesy. Respect
