Hussein Samatar is the founder and executive director of the African Development Center.

 

In 2003 the African Development Center became the Twin Cities’ – and likely the United States’ – first community development corporation for African immigrants and refugees. Since its founding, ADC has continually added capacity to help Africans achieve financial stability through financial literacy, homeownership, and business development education; as well as through micro-lending. The ADC engages in continual dialogue with the community it serves to determine its direction and programming.

 

In 2005, ADC leveraged $2.1 million in business loans through private financial institutions.

Yasin Mahi Malin is standing as a parliamentary candidate for the first time in his political career in Sweden. He has been very fortunate to be on the same candidate list with the current Prime Minister of Sweden Hon Goran Persson and both are campaigning from the same region in Sweden.

 

As we know Yasin Mahi has been active in the Swedish politics and one of the front runners, is now seen as deserving to represent his constituency in Parliament.
