Rep. Omar Declares Support for Terrorist Financier’s Company in Her Native Somalia
Judicial Watch ^ | September 03, 2019 | Judicial Watch

A controversial Minnesota congresswoman known for racially inflammatory anti-Semitic views has publicly declared her support for a terrorist organization in her native Somalia. Democrat Ilhan Omar is demanding that a telecommunications company founded and operated by a renowned terrorist financier, receive protection from that country’s government and peacekeeping forces. An Israeli-based newspaper broke the story a few days ago, but the American mainstream media has been notably silent on the matter.

The company, Hormuud Telecommunications, was created and is operated by Ahmed Nur Ali Jim’ale, a chief financier of al–Shabaab, an east African-based jihadist group that serves as Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Somalia. In her social media account, Omar writes that Somalia’s government and peacekeeping forces need to protect Hormuud and the Somali telecom industry as they make enormous contributions to the economy and provide vital services. “During my visit to Somalia in 2011, I was surprised by the quick evolution of technology in Somalia,” Omar posts, indirectly praising the telecom firm with terrorist ties. The Israeli article includes the links to a pair of United Nations Security Council reports documenting Hormuud’s direct support for al-Shabaab.

According to the first U.N. report: “Ali Ahmed Nur Jim’ale (Jim’ale) has served in leadership roles with the former Somali Council of Islamic Courts, also known as the Somali Islamic Courts Union, which was a radical-Islamist element. The most radical elements of the Somali Islamic Courts Union eventually formed the group known as al–Shabaab.” The document also identifies Jim’ale, a prominent businessman who controls Hormuud, as one of al-Shabab’s chief financiers. “Hormuud Telecommunications is a company identified as being one of the single largest financiers of al-Shabaab, which includes large lump sum payments to al-Shabaab in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and these payments toal-Shabaab were facilitated by Jim’ale," . . .

The GOP will not raise this issue, and only the President will

Is that not a form of treason? If she is not held accountable, then the DOJ is truly useless in every respect.

Do we need a GoFundMe page for this poor lady to buy her a suicide vest? (with a 30 second timer built in.)

It this “running interference” with a cited terrorist support group enough to indict her for “aiding and abetting” a foreign terrorist movement?

Should be. He father was a communist supporting the Barre’ genocidal dictatorship but I think he’s just running around freely in the U.S.

Let's not get excited. Yes, it's an al Qaida affiliate, but she's explained Some People Did Something' on 9/11. Can't blame al Qaida for that, so she can be pals with an official/affiliate from a designated terror group seeking the destruction of the US. Democrat silence will demonstrate they agree.

This is why Democrats suck so bad. Al Qaeda Terrorists kill 3000 Americans on 9/11. Less than two decades in later one of them is a Democrat congresswoman.

I’m going to have very mixed emotions when she pushes the button somewhere inside the Capitol Building.

Mixed emotions: When you see your mother-in-law drive your brand-new Corvette over a cliff.
