This Is What Comes of Empire Building October 18, 2007

MINNEAPOLIS — A noted Somali writer, whose role in Somali literature has been compared to Shakespeare’s place in English, has been added to Hennepin County’s “Ten Most Wanted” list for the rape of a 10-year-old girl a decade ago, authorities said.
Mahamud A. Isse, 72, of Minneapolis, is wanted on a felony bench warrant for criminal sexual conduct stemming from the alleged rape.
A phone number for Isse was not listed. Defense attorney Richard Cohen said he hasn’t seen or heard from Isse in a few months.
“I have no idea where he is,” Cohen said.
According to the criminal complaint, the alleged victim told police she came to the United States from Somalia in 1995 and lived with a woman who acted as her mother in Minneapolis. She said Isse, whom she then called “uncle,” would bring her candy and treats when he visited her guardian.
The woman told police that when she was 10, Isse got into her bed and raped her, the complaint said. The woman, now in her 20s, moved to Washington state in 1997 and was back in Minneapolis for a visit in 2005 when she ran into Isse at the Somali Mall shopping center.
I was reading this story at about the same time I was surfing Netflix, and stumbled across Black Hawk Down. You see what comes of empire building, even under the guise of humanitarianism? Everywhere in the world our military goes, we have a moral obligation to admit their people as immigrants (”invade the world, invite the world” goes hand-in-hand for a reason). I bet the white people who used to live in Minneapolis and St. Paul are sorry now.
