Editor's note: The following is a Somali-language translation of a counterpoint to the Star Tribune Editorial Board's endorsement of Mohamud Noor in the DFL primary in District 60B. The English-language version is here.
Si ku lid ah taageerada Guddida Tafatireed ee Star Tribune ee Mohamud Noor ee Degmada 60B aasaaska DFL ("Xulashooyinkayga: Dhibbooga iyo ruugcaddaaga sharci-dejineed," Ogoosto 3), Ilhan Omar waa dhisaha isbahaysiga aynu u baahannahay inay ku matasho degmadan dadka kala duwan ku nool yihiin Kongareeska Gobolka.
Kahor ololaha Ilhan, waxay ahayd wax aan caadi ahayn marka la eego degganayaasha muddada dheer, dadka Maraykanka ah ee cusub iyo ardayda degmadu inay isla hadlaan, wax aad u yar ka wada shaqeeyaan hadaf guud. Ololaha Ilhan wuxuu dhisay isku-duubni ka dhaxaysa kooxahan waana ifafaale muujinaya waxa degmadeenu noqon karto: bulsho midaysan taasi oo hore ugu dhaqaaqda horumarinta ahdaafteena aynu wadaago ee horusocod.
Ilhan waxay rumaysan tahay in kala duwanaanshaha dadka degmadani ay tahay waxa ugu fiican ee aynu leenahay. Iyadoo ah wakiilka gobolkeena, waxay iskugu keeni doontaa codadka oo dhan miiska si loo dhiso Minnesota barwaaqo ah oo dadka oo dhanna u siman yihiin.
Ilhan waxay leedahay faham gooni ah arrimaha macnaha u leh Degmada 60b waxaana ugu wacan wada-sheekaysiyada badan ee ay la yeelatay xubnaha bulshada ee dhammaan xaafadaha. Awoodda dhagaysiga si qoto dheer iyo dhisidda xidhiidho iskaashi dadka meelo kala duwan ka soojeeda dhexdooda waa sifo muujinaysa hoggaaimiyenimadeed waa xirfad muhiim ah marka la eego degmo dadku u kala duwan yihiin sida teena iyo Sharci-dejin u kala jaban sida kan Minnesota.
Waxay ku muujisay noocan hoggaaimiyenimo shaqadeeda ahayd kaaliye sare oo siyaasadda ah oo ay u ahayd Xubinta Golaha Magaalada Minneapolis Andrew Johnson, markii ay qabatay kalfadhiyo dhagaysi iyo fagaarayaal kala lduwan si ay taageero ugu muujiso xanuunka mushaharka leh. Sidoo kale, intii ay u shaqaynaysay Waaxda Waxbarashada Minnesota, waxay la shaqaysay degmadooyinka baadiyaha iyo magaalada labadaba si ay fuliso barnaamijyada cuntada dugsiga kadib.
Ilhan waxay la timi xiise wayn iyo dareen xooggan oo degdeg ah arrimaha ugu adag ee na soo waajaha degmo iyo gobol ahaan. Waxay ku dhaqaaqi doontaa inay suuliso kala duwanaanshaha qoomiyadeed iyo dhaqaale ee Minnesota. Ilhan waxay u doodi doontaa adeegyada wada-gaadhista ee dugsiyadeena si carruurteena oo dhan u guulaysan karaan. Waxay u dagaalami doontaa qoysaska shaqeeya si ay markaa u heli karaan ikhtiyaaro daryeel ilmeed oo rakhiis ah. Waxay la shaqayn doontaa ardayda kuuliyadaha si ay u soosaarto xalal sharci-dejineed oo lagu maaraynayo daynta kuuliyadaha laguna dhimayo lacagta laga qaado waxbarashada.
Ilhan waa murashaxa kaliya ee ku baaqaya ka taqalus dhammaystiran ee shidaalka dhulka laga soosaaro kuna soojeedin doonta indhaha adduunka sharci loo sameeyo bey'adda. Siyaasadahan waxay noqon doonaa qaar dhaqangala sababtoo ah Ilhan waxay la shaqayn doontaa xubnaha bulshada si loo sameeyo. Ballanqaadkan maamul-wadaaggu wuxuu u soo jiiday Ilhan taageerada boqolkiiba 55 waftiyada shirkii Degmada 60.
