As we previously reported here at WLT Report: Meet Somali Parliament Member and former Somalia Security Advisory Abdullahi Kulane. A very enterprising individual, he is somehow a sitting Member of Somali’s Parliament AND he also runs a “healthcare company” in Minnesota. The best part? Public records say his title is the “Maneger”! You are not going to believe this… Somalia Parliament Member and former Somalia security advisor Abdullahi Kulane owns a… healthcare company in Minnesota. He is listed as the “maneger.” He’s also a former DEI coordinator at the St Cloud Area School District in MN. Of course pic.twitter.com/o3Ms54hkQF — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) January 7, 2026 Because this sounds so outlandish, I asked Grok to run a FACT-CHECK on it, and guess what?  Fact-Checked TRUE! Fact-Check: Abdullahi Kulane and Minnesota Business Ties The core claims regarding Abdullahi Kulane’s dual roles in the Somali government and U.S.-based activities appear to be factual based on publicly available records. These roles raise questions about potential conflicts of interest, transparency, and the use of U.S. taxpayer funds via Medicaid reimbursements. While there are no public allegations of fraud or illegality tied specifically to Kulane or his company, similar firms in Minnesota have faced scrutiny in broader investigations. Background on Abdullahi Kulane Abdullahi Aden Kulane (also referred to as Abdul Kulane) is a Somali-American with ties to the Somali community in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and Somali national politics. Immigration and Leadership: Born in Somalia, he immigrated to the U.S. and became a community leader in St. Cloud. U.S. Roles: He has held roles focused on community empowerment, education, and media, including as a columnist for the St. Cloud Times and executive director of a local Somali empowerment organization. Somalia Roles: He has held high-level security and political positions in Somalia, including roles in national intelligence, before becoming a member of parliament.   Online Presence: He is active on X, where he posts about Somali politics, including criticisms of officials and issues such as nepotism and corruption. Fact-Check of Specific Claims Abdullahi Kulane is a Somalia Parliament Member Verdict: True He is listed as an MP in Somalia’s Federal Parliament (House of the People, 11th Session) as Hon. Abdullahi Aden Kulane Hashi. He was elected in February 2022. Reports note he was a senior intelligence official at the time of his election. His Facebook page confirms his parliamentary role and former positions in the Somali government. Former Somalia security advisor Verdict: True Kulane served as Chief of Staff for Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) and Deputy Chief of Staff at Villa Somalia. He was removed from his position as deputy spy chief in July 2021 by Somalia’s Prime Minister amid tensions over electoral interference.   Following his dismissal, he faced allegations of human rights violations but later returned to be elected as an MP. Owns a healthcare company in Minnesota Verdict: True The company is Rismi Health Transportation LLC, a non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) provider based in Waite Park, Minnesota. It is registered with the National Provider Identifier (NPI) #1831556950 and has been active since August 2016. While there are no public fraud allegations against Rismi specifically, Minnesota’s NEMT sector has been heavily audited, with reports of systemic fraud involving hundreds of companies. Listed as the “maneger” Verdict: True Federal NPI records explicitly list “ABDULLAHI KULANE” as the authorized official with the title “MANEGER.” This misspelling is replicated in multiple database entries. Former DEI coordinator at the St. Cloud Area School District Verdict: True His official role was “Educational Equity Outreach Coordinator,” focusing on equity policies and diversity efforts. He has been a prominent community leader in St. Cloud, organizing task forces and advocating for inclusion in school policymaking. Broader Context and Implications Pattern of Somali Officials in U.S. Businesses This case is not isolated. Reports highlight other Somali politicians owning Minnesota healthcare firms that bill Medicaid. Critics argue this pattern raises concerns regarding oversight and the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). No Evidence of Wrongdoing Nothing currently ties Kulane or Rismi to specific illegality. However, the dual citizenship and simultaneous roles could pose conflicts of interest if U.S. funds are seen as supporting foreign officials. Minnesota Somali Diaspora Over 100,000 Somalis live in Minnesota, many of whom are U.S. citizens. This population has been a significant part of the state’s cultural and economic landscape since the 1990s. What do you think? No evidence of wrongdoing? Possible? Feasible? Or almost certainly more Somali FRAUD upon the American people? How does it strike you?
