Runner Mo Farah Reveals how he was Illegally Trafficked to UK

Famous British gold medalist Mo Farah reveals how he was trafficked to the United Kingdom as a young child, given a new name, and forced into child labor. Farah disclosed that he was born in Somaliland, just north of Somalia, and his birth name is Hussein Abdi Kahin.

Farah had previously revealed that he went to the UK with his parents as a young child, but clarified that his father passed away when he was 4 years old, and he was taken across the world without his mother when he was only 8 or 9.

The woman who took Farah to the UK had told him his family would meet them there, but instead took him to be a servant to another family, with no way of reaching home. It wasn’t until he was old enough to start school where he was recognized by a teacher and eventually placed into a Somali foster home.
