Rep. Ilhan Omar’s father was a “feared” colonel in the Somali National Army (SNA), far from the “educator” he was presented to Americans as, a veteran who served in his regiment claimed to The Post.
Nur Omar Mohamed has been accused of hiding his military past from US authorities when he arrived and claimed asylum with his family in 1995 — which could have disqualified him from claiming refugee status.
A retired military officer still living in Somalia has spoken out for the first time to shed light on the “career soldier” who was a trusted operator in dictator Siad Barre’s brutal regime.
“I used to serve in the military with Nur, he was the colonel of my regiment and I would see him face-to-face,” the veteran, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, told The Post.
“He was a full, top colonel. And no one gets to that position by being a nice guy. He was obviously good at what he did.
“I remember him always dressed in a smart military uniform with his rifle hanging off a strap behind him. Some people were scared of him and would look away when he walked past.”
The former soldier is confused as to why Omar, 44, portrayed her father, who died in 2020, as a teacher in her 2020 memoir “My Journey from Refugee to Congresswoman.”
“Nur was very recognizable at the military hub in the city of Baidoa. He was one of those picked to be trained in Egypt in the 60s. He rose very quickly to the top of the military and became a trusted man [in the regime].”

Would you trust this ‘veteran’ who served with him?
“”””Omar’s father, who died from COVID-19 complications aged 67, is said to have joined the SNA in the late ‘60s and specialized in air defense before moving into the infantry.
He allegedly played a key role in Barre’s army after the bloodthirsty dictator seized power in a Soviet-backed coup in 1969.
Nur, born in the Somali coastal town of Bandarbeyla, part of the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, climbed up the military ranks to colonel.
But his “prestigious” military career came to an end when Barre was ousted in 1991 after two decades of oppression that saw up to 200,000 civilians killed and millions displaced. “”””
Did Omar’s father falsify his asylum and naturalization papers?
A veteran who served in his regiment says Omar’s father was a “feared” colonel in the
Somali National Army........far from being the “benign educator” portrayed to Americans.
Omar portrayed her father as a teacher in her 2020
memoir “My Journey from Refugee to Congresswoman.”
I have a suspicion that the asylum rules can be manipulated. Do we really know what the real political situation is in small or less significant foreign countries?
“ “Do we really know what the real political situation is in small or less significant foreign countries?”
Em:
“ • Battle of Mogadishu (1993): Often known as Black Hawk Down, U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force fought against militia forces loyal to warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid. The 20-hour battle left 18 U.S. soldiers dead, over 80 wounded, and hundreds to over a thousand Somalis dead, leading to the U.S. withdrawal from the country.
• Counterterrorism Interventions (2007–Present): The U.S. military (via AFRICOM) has conducted ongoing airstrikes, drone strikes, and special operations against Islamist militant groups in Somalia, primarily al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda, and ISIS affiliates.
Does a bear defecate in the woods?
These people are so corrupt it hurts. I can’t wait for her to be convicted and denaturalized, tossed out of the House (it would have to be just about instantaneous, even if the Dems are in control then), and then deported. The last grace would be to deport her to some place other than Somalia. Some other shithole country, just to put her through the bureaucratic hell of getting home with no passport.
Above is an article regarding the genocide in Somalia while Omar’s dad was a top colonel and he no doubt played a role in the genocide. He and is family were not qualified for asylum.
“200,000 civilians killed and millions displaced.” is on the low side. Try doubling that. Life is cheap in Somalia.
She’s got a shitload of money stashed. Millions. It’s probably a mega stash and may not even be in a bank in her name.
Most of those “questionables” coming into the US are here to rip us off!
Everyone knows it. They think America is just a country to EXPLOIT.
Get Ilhan’s ass out of here along with every other illegal immigrant parasites.
We’ve paid for this shit for 40 years and can’t even take care of our OWN mentally ill, veterans and elderly.
We’ve been FLEECED.
We shouldn’t have to give any other country a frickin’ penny.
They should be paying US.
Ilhan Omar’s sister skips book tour event amid week of chaos following raid on progressive’s DC home
Mr. Rogers canceled his plan to film on location there.
They are aligned with international Marxist and Islamic organizations and they are preferentially recruiting refugees who are selected for their revolutionary Marxist or Islamic worldview
A lot of Somali bad guys were knowingly trafficked into the US and were given new identities by the UN relief organizations and charities
Same with the Central American caravan members
A reporter was interviewing some of the caravan organizers and travelers and they told that they knew America was a very unfair and racist country and that they were coming to America to change that
The relief orgs are often recruiting very undesirable anti American military age men and women to traffic to America - many of which are members of MS -13 style gangs or FMLN style revolutionary groups

Federal agents reportedly collected DNA from Ilhan Omar and her family by searching through their trash before the raid on her D.C. home
Do we really know what the real political situation is in small or less significant foreign countries?

We surely know. We have CIA, State, historians, etc. They have specialist who are paid to know.
In case of Somalia, we know very well.
Somalia was ruled for a long time by Communist, Soviet ally, genocidal dictator known Mohammed Siad Barre.
The Wiki has communist slant, but you can read between the lines.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siad_Barre
Coup leader who killed the ruling president.
Genocidal Marxist-Leninist who nationalized everything and tried scientific socialism in Somalia with the help of Soviet Union and China. Among all the leftist, socialist strongmen of Africa, he was the leftmost, even trying for Somalia to join Warsaw pact. His Soviet protectors eventually dumped him, when he started war with Ethiopia and the Soviets opted for the bigger price, genocidal Ethiopian marxist derg!
Those are well known, objective facts.
Omar’s father was one of his trusted colonels. Talking about genocide, Omar’s father was guilty of one!
There are all kind of prohibition against genocidal leaders and oppressive marxists being admitted to the USA!
How did he slipped through and was allowed in the USA is a mystery. Somebody should be fired for that!
I wrote this on another thread-—
“”””I am patiently waiting for the indictments to be announced.
Since the Somalis do have a reputation for lying, I am proposing that Ilhan’s father is not her father and therefore her US citizenship is invalid.””””
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4399187/posts?page=10#10
” I am proposing that Ilhan’s father “
Considering her age (12) when she came here, that old man EASILY could have been her husband, and not her father.
Or ... considering the overall icky-ness of that heathen bunch, he could’ve been her biological father AND her husband.
“Would you trust this ‘veteran’ who served with him?”
I’d trust this veteran more than I trust Ilhan and her supporters. How about you?
