Report Alleges Somalia’s Foreign Minister, Whose Ohio Healthcare Company Receives U.S. Tax Dollars, Also Controls LLC at SAME ADDRESS as Somali Money Transfer Firm Accused of Terror Financing

A new report alleges that Somalia’s Foreign Minister Abdisalam Abdi Ali, a U.S. citizen whose Ohio-based healthcare company has raked in millions from American taxpayers, also controls an LLC operating out of the same address as a Somali money transfer firm previously accused of funneling funds to terrorist organizations.

Abdisalam Abdi Ali was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somalia in May 2025.

Born in Somalia but building a life in the U.S., Ali established Ritechoice Healthcare Services LLC in Toledo, Ohio, over a decade ago. Shockingly, two additional healthcare companies operate out of the same office suite.

The company specializes in home health care, providing services such as nursing aides and therapy to vulnerable populations, including the elderly and disabled.

These operations have reportedly received substantial funding from U.S. government programs like Medicaid and Medicare, which reimburse providers for caring for low-income patients.

But the plot thickens with Ali’s business partner, Abdul J. Surey, who was listed as president of Ritechoice Healthcare Services LLC, according to LibsofTikTok.

Surey was also listed as an administrative assistant at Dahabshiil, one of the world’s largest Somali money transfer companies.

Dahabshiil, headquartered in Dubai but with its U.S. corporate head office located in Ohio, has long been a lifeline for Somali immigrants sending remittances home. However, the firm has faced repeated accusations of facilitating terrorism financing.

Lawsuits dating back to 2015 allege that Dahabshiil provided material support to al-Shabaab, the Somalia-based al-Qaeda affiliate designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.

One high-profile case involved Harbi Hussein, the son of the iconic Somali activist Saado Ali Warsame, who was assassinated by Al-Shabaab in 2014, claiming Dahabshiil aided the terrorists responsible for his father’s death, though the suit was ultimately dismissed by a U.S. appeals court in 2017 for lack of sufficient evidence.

Dutch and Kenyan authorities have also scrutinized the company, with temporary suspensions of services in 2015 amid terror probes, but Dahabshiil has consistently denied wrongdoing and won exonerations in several jurisdictions.

The report—first amplified through posts on platforms such as Instagram and X by accounts including @therealstateofamerica and @libsoftiktok—claims that Ali also controls another LLC, SALAM GROUP LLC, which is registered at the exact same address, 2273 Morse Rd., Columbus, Ohio 43229, as entities linked to Dahabshiil’s operations.
