Somaliland corroborates the charges against Ilhan Omar
Let’s see – it’s been close to seven years since I wrote my first post on the subject of Omar’s marriage to her alleged brother. I deemed the evidence very plausible although unproven. The Powerline bloggers had already been on the case for quite some time and were quite convincing. But it was still treated as a wild and nasty slur.
Now we have the breakaway country of Somaliland saying that yes, it’s true – and also that her father was one of the oppressors, not the oppressed. I had started hearing that charge more recently; maybe a year or two ago?
I don’t think anything will come of this. One reason is that, even if there was fraud involved on Omar’s immigration application, it would have been on the part of her family, since she was about thirteen when she came to this country (at least according to Wiki). Even if proven, her immigration fraud in marrying her brother to help him would not invalidate her own status, according to my understanding of the law.
Nevertheless, it’s not a good look. Somaliland posts some documents here:
? Receipts: Ilhan Omar’s original last name was Elmi before it was changed.
This evidence was available, but the Obama Justice Department refused to investigate.Her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and their father, Nur Said Elmi (also known as Nur Omar), used multiple names… https://t.co/9sz3ZXVN3X pic.twitter.com/d16tAMCKrn

There’s also this. Somaliland has some scores to settle with Omar’s father:
Between 1981 and 1991, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father, served as a senior officer executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland.
This dark chapter in Africa’s history, which was known as the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians. It also involved widespread forced displacement, scorched?earth destruction of the second and third largest cities (Hargeisa and Burao), aerial bombardement of almost every other single city, town and village in Somaliland, and two decades of large?scale red-terror style tactics against the civilian population of Somaliland.
It was carried out through relentless aerial bombardments – planes repeatedly strafed fleeing refugees – summary executions, burning of entire villages, deportations, land?mining of water sources and homes, Holodomor style government enforced man-made famines (the Dabadheer Drought) and the use of paramilitary units such as the Somali Armed Forces’ “Dabar Goynta Isaaqa” (The Isaaq Exterminators), composed exclusively of non-ethnically Isaaq soldiers, to enact mass killings under Somalia’s military direction.
Unless they can pin the carnage on the Jews, most of the world doesn’t care.
Diversity (e.g. class-disordered ideologies). Racism, obviously. A shade of Black supremacists?
Denaturalize and deport.
200,000?
Pretty impressive!
No wonder the Democrats respect her and defend her to the hilt.
Yep, Black Lives MATTER…
I knew about her father’s involvement in atrocities in Somaliland from reading about it at the Power Line blog.
The question about her naturalization is not 100% settled (although I don’t expect anything to be done about it). Online researchers have not found an official record of her father’s naturalization. Further, she allegedly changed her birthdate to make her only seventeen rather than eighteen at the time of her father’s citizenship grant (if it occurred). If she was eighteen, she would need to have pursued citizenship on her own, and she didn’t.
@ Neo (quoting) > “the Isaaq Genocide, was a merciless military campaign that resulted in the killing of over 200,000 Isaaq civilians.” – and so forth.
THAT is what genocide looks like. And it’s not the only one in Africa in modern times. Don’t even think about ancient tribal warfare.
The IDF operations in Gaza since 10/7/23 are NOT genocide: if the Jews wanted to kill all the Gazans and salt the earth they lived on, it would have taken them 2 weeks 40 years ago.
Even the continual bombardment and targeted assassinations (please note the adjective) during the current Iran operation are NOT genocide, as both the US and Israel are making every possible effort to avoid civilian casualties, since the Iranians are needed to run the country after the Mullahcracy, the IRGC, and their lackeys are disposed of.
The regrettable destruction of the elementary school is exactly that: regretted.
Highlights the absolute need for up-to-date intel in this kind of warfare, however.
Better that the DOJ go after her for her bogus income from a non-existent winery.
“Between 1981 and 1991, the Somali military in which Colonel Nur Omar Mohamed, Ilhan Omar’s father, served as a senior officer executed a brutal and systematic campaign of genocide targeting the Isaaq people of the modern day Republic of Somaliland.”
Publicly and on camera, ask her how she feels about her father participating in a documented genocide against the Isaaq people that slaughtered more than 200,000 people. Then ask her if she knew about it and if her father should have been prosecuted for war crimes…
I wonder what proportion of the “Somali” immigrants to the USA are from Somaliland versus Somalia. Ilhan Omar’s tribal background and grifting/genocide; how deep does it go?
