Ilhan's Omar's father, Nur Omar Mohamed, General Mohamed Ali Samatar, and Yusuf Abdi Ali, came to the US as "refugees", but as the right hand man of the brutal dictator General Mohamed Siyad Barre, they committed the second worst genocide in African history against the people of # Somaliland. Colonel Yusuf Abdi Ali and General Mohamed Ali Samatar were found guilty of war crimes, and Ilhan Omar's father purportedly died from complications of COVID in 2020. Like his daughter, he was not just any refugee. As a key figure in the genocidal army of a Somalian dictator he was responsible for the Isaaq Genocide, a massacre that claimed over 200,000 Somalian lives. After the regime collapsed, Mohamed didn't escape as one of the oppressed—he fled as a toppled regime operative to the United States, bringing his family with him. They weren't refugees then, and they aren't Americans Now! somalilandchronicle.com/2025/0 https://somalilandchronicle.com/2025/07/25/ilhan-omars-father-and-the-isaaq-genocide-the-truth-revealed/
