Stupid girl……by implication you are telling us that calling an Abdi-Rahman Abdi infers inferiority????
Think before you post. Congrats Mo, you are amazing.
There is a mistake in this article, 'Somaliland born' Mo Farah maybe a Somalilander in origin but he was born in Muqdisho, Somalia. Get your facts straight Somaliland Press!
for the million's time he was not born in Mogadishu he claimed to be born in Mogadishu because he was seeking asylum in the uk. in the last 15 years almost 99.99% of Somali people claimed they were born in Mogadishu for their asylum application. before people used to claim they were from Hargeisa to seek asylum. why are the dar00d so jealous. i am ashamed of my people. i like pntland but we need to stop claiming everyone is ours. mo Farrah is from Somaliland and he is iss@q. inshallah may he have more gloris days and may his academy in gabily succeed.
or if you want go ask him were he is from

hahahahahaha u made me laugh.. I don't see any D-block claiming Mo Farah, yes he's somali and we all somalis, we all know he's Habr-Awal but not sure whether he's pro-somaliland.
my dear deluded dhul.. he is holding a Somaliland, he goes to Somaliland every year and he is building an academy in his home town. so i think he is quiet pro Somaliland
i hope zoomalia will give you the glory you want i heard their athletes are seeking asylum in the uk…zoomalia
Kaboon just because he visits Hargeisa couple of times doesn't make him pro-somaliland, I have been to Hargeisa so many times and am not pro-somali-diid.

If he is anti-Somaliland why would he accept a presidential award from President Silanyo last year.
Or maybe he thought he was in Mogadishu and that he was meeting with Sheikh Sharif and co. LOL!
Mogadishu-born Mo Farah is a champion in the eyes of the world. The two habroos in Morgan's house who host every back packer think Mo Farah will get them recognition from the British former colonial masters.
They never understand that they are no British orphans and Britain has no obligation for them. They will beg everyone and its very shameful.
I advise all British back packers to visit Hargeisa, they will meet a warlord some regard as a President who occupies the residential home of a former Somali military man. They can't even build a statehouse in 21 years, what hope is there for a recognition?
My Isaaq people are one confused people. They love English and Habashi that eat raw meat over their fellow Somalis. They think every Isaaq is "Somalilander" mohahahaha which cracks me up wallahi.
Mo Farah is indeed an Isaaq but he is not a Somalilander. He is a British man of Somali origin. Just because he is Isaaq doesn't mean he is this fake ethnic that no one recognizes. I am an Isaaq and I am a Somali.
These Isaaqis really think they are some foreigners dropped inside the Somali race, like the gypsies in EU.
They don't even know the difference between tribe, nationality, race and citizenship and thats why they failed to gain recognition.
When you learn the difference between those things maybe someone will listen to you.
Mo Farah's tribe = Isaaq.
Citizenship (the most important identity in the modern world) = British
Ethnic = Somali
Nationality = dual British/Somali
I really feel sorry for you brother, wallah. I never seen anyone who hates themselves and their people so much in my life. I think you feel rejected so badly. It's okay to believe in greater Somalia or different ideology but its really sad to see you 24/7 busy on bashing people of Somaliland at every possible chance (maybe is to seek attention from non-isaaq who hate isaaqs) There are a lot of isaaqs who believe in Somaliweyn but at least they don't indulge in self-hate.
"They love English and Habashi" how?? I'm afraid all Somalis nowadays work with the habashis since they got the upper hand of Somalis. Remember how much you used to praise the habashis while you hated Somalia and other Somalis so much. I used to think you were smart and genuine but I think that is getting bit cloudy now. What's this British this British that non-sense. If I'm not wrong Somaliland has the least colonial influence whilst Somalia and Djibouti both liaise and cooperated with the Italians and French post-Independence. Somaliland instead of forming diplomatic relation with the British, they kicked every British out and stormed into the south in the name of Somalihood.
It's easy to criticize but hard to be part of the solution.
hahahaha amal, sorry to upset you walaal.
I just don't get how Isaaqis can claim every Isaaq is "Somalilander" while Daroods like Dhulos are denied the same rights to join their fellow Daroods across the fake British-made border.
Somaliland is flawed and makes no sense.
I used to be pro-Ethiopia because I was born there and had good memories of my childhood and Isaaqis brain washed me to like them but when I went there I discovered the reality for myself.
The Habashi cross into "Somaliland" whenever they wish and kidnap Isaaqis, rape them, kill them but I don't see any Isaaq blood boiling. If one Darood scratched one Isaaq—they will call for an open war but if Habashi wiped them out, they are "the ones hosted us when Siad Bare was chasing us". The reality is, Somalis hosted us including Isaaqis not Habashi. Harta Sheikh, Daroor, etc, are Somali territories not Habashi.
If I have any hate its because Isaaqis hate who they are and all the hate they taught me against Somalis has back fired on them.
All north Somalis are turning to their nation–Somalia from Zeila to Las Qorey.
kayse ever year you hate a group of people. last year you used to bash zoomalia now you are bashing somaliland. kkkkkkkkkkkkk but want i dont understand is if you want mogadisho or boosaaso you should go there kkkkkk.
please stop claiming to be issaq. you are not issaq. the issaqs are the makers of zoomalia, without us there will not be any thing called somali repuplic. we turned zooomalia to somali repuplic
Walaal Amal, don't waste your time with that guy! He is a sick man and badly needs a medical care. Leave him alone to sh*t around who cares!
Nobody should reply to Kayse he is nothing but a troll, lets not feed the troll.
BTW Amal got it spot on when she said there is nothing wrong with supporting Somaliweyn and being Isaaq but the biggest issue I have with this guy is his evident self hate for the Isaaq clan for goodness sake he refers to us as Isaaqis lol. This guy has deep, suppressed personal issues.
You don't hear the clans in the South saying we are useless we've been in perpetual war for 20 years and then insulting and belittling the clan that they belong too.
AlhamduliAllah this man's opinions will never matter and he will never attain a position of significance with that self hating attitude.
That's the last time I ever respond to Kayse the troll
lol the only isaaq who loves habashi that I ever came across was you who preached only hate to us. Many of us died fighting the Ethiopians in 1977 and made dozens of songs and poems addressing them plus we all know they are fanatic Christians but not all Ethiopia has many Muslims and maybe soon Muslims will take over.
Besides, Ethiopia is our neighbor and we will do business with them, who cares what fake Somali unionist and and fake brotherhood say. They can shove their Somali this Somali that up in where the sun don't shine.
Amal, do feel sorry for this fool. I sick person who really needs to be hospitalize, seriously.
Dear SomalilandPress,
I read your news daily but in recent times I have once too often come across the comments by 'Kayse'. These comments most of the time are inciting hatred. Please remove those comments which can obviously casue distress and anger and have no valadity.
Many thanks,
Who are kidding?
By you saying I quote "My Isaaq people are one confused people. They love English and Habashi that eat raw meat over their fellow Somalis". Another quotes " Just because he is Isaaq doesn't mean he is this fake ethnic that no one recognizes. I am an Isaaq and I am a Somali". "These Isaaqis really think they are some foreigners dropped inside the Somali race, like the gypsies in EU".
These above comments does not indicate that your Isaaq, Because your comments condemning all Isaaq in general including yourself as an Isaaq or wanna be Isaaq (which tells me you an imposter).
Just come clean bro don't live in cuckoland, You do not need to tell who you are. We know that your a Wolf (Haters) within a flock of sheep(Somaliland).
Not all Isaaq support Somaliland but majority are supporting by participating in previous elections whether you consider fake or staged.
What in the world is wrong with you people My name can be long, for instance ABUBAKAR and I choose to made it easy for people, my family and friends so they call me ABU instead….don' t be a drama queen be cool and say good or for ever shut up Go Mo you are a legend and cool in the same time …Love and Peace
From old warlord like Silanyo to midwife like Edna, everyone is talking tribalism in Somaliland. If they use tribalism against others, they will use it against each others too.
Remember Edna's shocking words? Let's recall it.
Edna Adan Ismail, the former foreign minister of Somaliland, says: "Mo Farah may have been born in Mogadishu, as were many Somalilanders who happened to be working or living there during the time when Somaliland and Somalia were united, but he is not from Somalia. He is from Somaliland. He is from the Isaaq clan, and Jibril Abokor sub-clan, who are not natives of Somalia.

I don't know any lady that age who tells an athletes tribal lineage to the world.
kkkkk haw!ye scum. go to boqdisho
Kayse
Simply to enlighten people who are completely stooges with minimal iqs like your. That’s the people she was addressing. Get now.
Please don't change my name to Mo Farah….I am Mohamed Farah…..Not Mo Farah
Why are you fighting over someone who doesn't even know you people. You guys are sweating for nothing. Don't you have other business to mind. You better all shut your mouths and do something constructive. Mo Farah will always remain who he is and he knows where he belongs to.
Everyone calm down, lets face it Mo Farah is a sensational athlete. He is proud of Somaliland else he wouldnt have made a visit with his wife and daughter. Please say Mashallah and be proud of his achievements he is THE fisrt Somali SuperStar of our generation. I pray that he inspires many more young Somali's. We can all be proud of Somaliland , but let's not limit our vision there are far more important things in life (ISLAM , Parents , Education) than to over dwell on where someone was born. The truth is , I should have been using this time to congratulate Mohammed Farah mabrook my brother.
