Ex-Olympic champ Mo Farah says he was trafficked to UK as a child, reveals his real identity
Former Olympic champion Mo Farah revealed that he was brought to England illegally as a child. He further noted that he was forced to work as a domestic servant.
In an explosive interview with a media outlet based in the UK, BBC, Farah said that she was named Mohamed Farah by a woman who flew it to England from East Africa Djibouti nine years old. He also revealed his real name, Hussein Abdi Kahin.
Mo Farah’s father was killed in Somalia when she was four years old. The 39-year-old man claimed he had to take care of the children of other families in England.
He said, “Actually I am not who you think. Most people know me as Mo Farah, but that is not my name or it’s not reality.” His comments are part of the documentary that will be shown on Wednesday.
Farah became the first Trek and British athlete to win four Olympic gold medals. He said his children had motivated him to be honest about his past.
The real story is that I was born in Somaliland, northern Somalia, like Hussein Abdi Kahin. Apart from what I said in the past, my parents never lived in England. When I was four years old, my father was killed in a civil war, you know as our family is torn. “
I was separated from my mother, and I was brought to England illegally with the name of another child named Mohamed Farah.”
I have kept it for so long, it’s difficult because you don’t want to deal with it and often my children ask questions, ‘Father, why is this?’ And you always have an answer to everything, but you don’t have an answer to that. “
That’s the main reason to tell my story because I want to feel normal and don’t feel like you hold something.”You can now write for wionews.com and be part of the community. Share your stories and opinions with us here.
