She fled Mogadishu in the 1990s, when militiamen burst into the home she shared with her parents and nine siblings, and started shooting. She watched her father die, as the rest of the family ran into the woods to escape. They wound up in overcrowded refugee camps, separated for years, then Atlanta, then Lewiston. "We went from a big city to a small city, for our children to have a nice life," she said. "We wanted to be safe, just like you do." (AP Photo/David Goldman)
