Sir Mo Farah reveals he was trafficked to the UK as a child – BBC News
Olympian Sir Mo Farah was brought to the UK illegally as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant, he has revealed.
The athlete has told the BBC he was given the name Mohamed Farah by those who flew him over from Djibouti. His real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin.
He was flown over from the East African country aged nine by a woman he had never met, and then made to look after another family’s children, he says.
In a documentary by the BBC and Red Bull Studios, Sir Mo recalls the moment he found out his family were still alive after years of no contact.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

My mother Bhagwati Pushpaben Bhagwanji Chitroda worked for her family Chotila order part of her Independent private service to Hinduism as the first women 001. She investigate various Indian And African homes that arose suspicious adoptions or children swapping. She found the group or network as part of a set up women order called Nari Shakti where star and personalities scams where taking place. She played it undercover to match the people to there Indian family’s rather than the Indian People trying to impersonate bogus characters and make up idiotic history’s about themselves. Child swapping was a big problem in india and my mother played her role to fix the general cultural consensus of Creating standards within the maternity sector, child adoption and general mental health for Indians. This under cover role is known as Agatha as during this time I was Thkishor and am becoming the Thakur the social law installer for various Indian Royal Provinces as part of my caste Khumbar Prajapati duty. ⚡️🤴🏽🕉🔺➕

For those that have harsh judgement. Or can’t find any empathy. I would say these stories are no different than your ancestors went through in Europe. Child labour/slave work. Moving to a new world either smuggled or sent there with fake names for a better life. It’s incredibly sad. I’m sorry he went through that

The only reason he had revealed his name is fake and he was trafficked is because his barrister told him he might lose his UK citizenship unless he got enough pubic sympathy. It worked.
Now he & his Muslim wife can have be in the UK, have a bucket load of kids and do their bit for Eurabia! Happy simping to the British 👋

This happens a lot. I remember as a refugee in Holland early 90s there used to be this kid who used to stay at my buddy house all day watching TV . I was told he was on his way to Sweden. He was about nine . Spoke nothing but Somal which I do not speak . He would just watch Dutch TV all day . He was there maybe for 3 months then just like that he was gone. I was told he had made it to Sweden to his relatives .
