EXACTLY,... x10 !
This individual is not getting paid to represent Somalia
in Congress......she’s getting tax dollars to represent America.
Minn Congresswoman Omar’s remarks were shocking.
Specifically troubling, were her endeavors to revive the once-violent and dangerous ideology of enlarging Somalia.......she’s referring to Greater Somalia or Somali Weyn, which caused so much death, destruction and conflict in the Horn of Africa.
.....it was baffling to see her accuse the entire #Somaliland nation of “falsely claiming Somali identity.” Her ignorance of #US - #Somaliland cooperation in the fight against terror and piracy in the Gulf of Aden & Gulf Of Berbera was shocking to say the least.
We hope the house leadership and her caucus will take note of her public conduct, unbecoming a United States Congresswoman nor representative of the august house she serves in.
Somalia got approximately $3 billion in US foreign aid.
Overall, U.S. security assistance to Somalia and peacekeeping operations in the country amounts to approximately $3 billion, making Somalia among the most significant recipients of security aid in sub-Saharan Africa.
Another $300 million went to drought and famine aid. (Mar 20, 2023)
