Minneapolis-A Twin with Mogadishu? or Mogadishu's calling Cory Booker

This is a very interesting article.  Somali Mohamed Nur left the safety of London to become the Mayor of Mogadishu.  He's putting out a call for a city in England to 'twin' up with them.  I say forget the redcoats Brits!  Let's get a US city to pair up.  My first thought would be for that city to be one with a large Somali population.  Following are the US cities with the greatest Somali diaspora #'s (in descending order):

Minneapolis
Columbus, Ohio
Washington DC
NYC
Buffalo, NY
Seattle
Kansas City
San Diego

However, I am not sure Minneapolis is 'street' or 'gangster' enough for Mogadishu.  It might be like pairing Miley Cyrus to rehab an LA Blood (or maybe more like pairing Ke$ha).   So perhaps a more appropriate choice would be "Brick City" aka Newark, NJ.  The Sundance Channel has a fascinating documentary series on the city and its controversial (what great leader isn't?!) and inspirational mayor: Cory Booker.  If there ever any two mayors that should sit down together it is Cory Booker and Mohamed Nur!
