Since Wells Fargo and USBANK refused to transfer Hawala (remittances ) to Africa. Somalis in Minnesota will take action and pull their money out of these banks and close all their accounts. If Wells Fargo and USBANK insist on their decision of not allowing to transfer remittance from here to Africa, more than 30 thousand Somalis are urged to take action and close all business dealings with banks who don' t want to work with Hawala companies. 

On Saturday night  members of the Somali community in Minnesota met to discuss the refusal of banks to wire transfer and the impact it has on their loves ones in Somalia. 

Somalis are urged to take action and move all their money out of big banks specially wells fargo and usbank to local community banks. May 11th is a day of action and protest. It is a day that most Somalis in MN and beyond will close their accounts with these two banks if they don't allow Hawalas to transfer remittance money to Somalia and Africa.
