Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Somali Bantu refugees settled mainly in the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. These states are located in the northeastern region of the United States, also known as the Atlantic Periphery. The Bantu people fled Somalia due to the civil war and sought refuge in the United States in the early 2000s. Many of them arrived with little to no resources and had to build their lives from scratch in a new country. Over time, the Somali Bantu community has been able to establish themselves in these states and contribute to their local economies.
