I don’t even know why they are bothering to publish a story like this one—-boy cries when talking to Mom in Africa (Mom cries too). Incredible news!
See our previous posts here.
However, we do learn that Mom is still trying to get to the US on an asylum claim. Miracle boy does not live at home with Dad and wicked step mom. Miracle boy hopes to live with aunt in Minnesota (yeh, Minnesota here comes one more!) And, CAIR is speaking for miracle boy’s Dad.
From AP at the Sioux City Journal:
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A Somali immigrant who survived an arduous flight to Hawaii stowed away in a jet’s wheel well says he was trying to reach his mom, a refugee in Ethiopia who says her teenage son broke down in tears this week during their first call since his ordeal.
Mother Ubah Mohammed Abdule, who is seeking U.S. asylum, told The Associated Press Wednesday her son, who she hasn’t seen in eight years, cried on the phone Tuesday and told her he thought she was dead.

A family spokeswoman forwarded questions on Wednesday from AP to father Abdilahi Yusuf, a Santa Clara taxi driver, about why his son is not living with him. As with past requests, Yusuf has not responded. The spokeswoman, Zahra Billoo with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, says the family wants to maintain their privacy.
Here we had one teenaged “refugee” who wanted to go back to where he came from, and we won’t even let one go.
And, whatever happened to all of the talk of criminally charging the boy?
