Nasro Mohamed speaks during an interview in Mogadishu
In this photo of Sunday, Dec. 18, 2011, Nasro Mohamed speaks during an interview in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. She said the decision to end the Somali remittances in the US is a "painful"one that will ruin the daily life of many Somali people who were dependent on the remittances to receive money from the United States. Government officials say they are concerned that Somalis in Minnesota will not be able to send money to family members in Somalia after the bank discontinued the service over terror financing fears. The prime minister describes the money cut-off as "catastrophe" in a country still reeling from famine. (AP Photo/Farah Abdi Warsameh)
