Osman Ali: Somali Canadians

osman ali: No one will look at him first as Somali, African, immigrant, Muslim, according to Metro News. That's huge. His appointment breaks a barrier, said Osman Ali, director of the Somali Canadian Association of Etobicoke. For him to be in that position is very important for a community that has been marginalized for a long time. They'll always look up and say If Ahmed can do it, I can do it too. It's especially true for young Somali Canadians either born here or who came as immigrants who often get caught up in bad behaviours and criminal activities, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
