[ShabelleMedia] Somalis in the diaspora make history in the elections of the countries they live in as second citizens after migrating from their motherland over civil war.Abdikarim Omar, a young Somali who grew up in Canada registered to run for the local council in Toronto in October. The deadline for the registration expires on Friday evening. Omar will contest against twenty candidates competing for the mayor of Toronto.
