.@bah_omar said Trump calling Somalis “garbage” is “the newest signal of degeneration of Trump and his administration into infantile but dangerous rhetoric that is both racist and a threat to the safety of certain populations in this country.”

RI refugee advocates decry National Guard shooting and Trump immigration crackdown. “We do not agree with Trump taking these drastic & erratic actions because of a single incident that does not represent the refugee and immigrant community” @bah_omar said https://t.co/6aaJJkJNpl

TAT Visits Refuge Dream Center in Rhode Island

The Alkamba Times has specifically visited Rhode Island today to beam light on the Refugee Dream Center, a renowned humanitarian organization in the United States that helps refugees from Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia with their asylum processes, turning their American dreams into a reality.

Omar Bah, a former Gambian Journalist and victim of Yahya Jammeh's rule, founded the Refugee Dream Center. The Center, which is over a decade old, has a young staff complement of 28 and receives refugees from all over the world.

Mr. Bah is a young, smart, and ambitious man whose Center substantially positively impacts the lives of many refugees in the US.

Watch out for a detailed story on Omar Bah and his incredible humanitarian work at the Refugee Dream Center.

[Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos @LGSabinaMatos]

Rhode Island was founded as a refuge from persecution, and that’s still true today. I’m grateful to the @RefugeeDream Center for continuing that work by helping refugees start a new life in RI. It was great to meet some of the families at today’s festival!

[Dr. Omar Bah @bah_omar]

Great time attending the RI Foundation's annual event tonight. And congrats @NeilDSteinberg on your retirement. Your contribution to the progress of Rhode Island’s many diverse communities is deeply appreciated. I wish you all the best.
