(Washington) Ilhan Omar was born in Somalia, aged 6 her family
moved into a refugee centre in Kenya and 4 years later in 1992 aged 10 she (and they) was
relocated to the United States. here the family did well and she was elected
into congress this year as the representative for Minnesota's 5th congressional
district . You'd think that a migrant (like so many others) to the United States
would be grateful of being given the chance to do well in life. A chance
actually denied to women in countries such as Somalia. But no Omar has
expressed nothing but disdain for her new country and this was perfectly illuminated
in a couple of tweets over 3 days regards the independence days for Somalia (1st
July) and the US (4th July) . Guess which country the democrat
congress woman thinks is the better place.
The above translates roughly into English as “Somalis, wake up, wake up and support each other. Support your country. Support them forever.”Soomaliyeey Toosoo— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) July 1, 2019
