Upon picking up The Forecaster, we find ourselves turning directly to the Opinion page to see if there is another contribution by Abdi Nor Iftin. He is a top-notch addition to your paper. His messages are always profoundly important and often enlightening.
We recommend his book, “Call Me American,” to your readers. His story of how he managed to get to the U.S. is moving and inspiring. It’s a story of determination and hope.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
