From Mogadishu to America - 30 years ago -- By Jamal Ali Hussein 09/2019

September 17, 1989, I left Mogadishu through Somali Airlines flight to Frankfurt, Germany. One month earlier, in the middle of August 1989, I’d woken before dawn to be able to get to the United States Embassy in Mogadishu. When I arrived there at five in the morning, the line was already long with people who had slept all night in front of the Embassy building. Hundreds of us waited that day to submit a visa application and be called for an interview, but we knew that only a certain number of us would be granted a visa. A lot depended on how the interview went. The sun was sweltering hot that morning, but I did not mind. In front of me was a woman who wanted to go to her son’s wedding in Atlanta. Behind me was a couple whose child had rare disease that could be treated only at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Yes, every one of us had a story. “I am going to Boston,” I told everyone.
