Abdirahim “Husu” Hussein is intent on creating a positive relationship between Finns and immigrants.
HAVING arrived here as a teenager in the mid-‘90s from Mogadishu, the environment Abdirahim “Husu” Hussein was greeted with was vastly different to the one he lives in now. This was a Finland that had rarely opened its doors to immigrants since gaining independence from Russia in 1917. This was a Finland that had no immigration policy, no concern over their aging population; there was no fear from the fringes about losing their jobs, women or culture to a wave of newcomers.
