Mo Farah was one of the greatest Olympic athletes ever. The former Olympic champion in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters is considered a big star in Britain, who was exposed to a chilling testimony from him that as a child he was traded into slavery, an interest he kept a secret all these years, but no more.
In an interview with the BBC he revealed that his real name in general is Hussein Abdi Karim and at the age of 9 he was flown from Djibouti by a woman he had never met before. “I kept it a secret for years, but it can no longer be kept,” said Farah, who came to England from Somalia as a refugee.
When Farah arrived in England, the girl took him to an apartment in west London, and took from him documents containing details and about his family. “She tore them in front of my eyes and threw them in the trash. At that moment, I knew I was in trouble,” he said.
Farah revealed that he was forced to do housework when he was a child: “The woman told me that if I wanted to see my family again, I must not say anything. Sometimes I just locked myself in the bathroom and cried. I still miss my real family, but my life has improved from the moment That I started running. “
