Representative Ilhan Omar, the Somalia-born Minnesota Democrat, was recorded telling a Somali audience they are “people of the same blood, people who know they are Somalians first, Muslims second, who protect each other,” adding she is “here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.”
Omar’s speech was prompted by anger in Somalia and among the Somali diaspora over an agreement between Ethiopia and the Republic of Somaliland, an officially unrecognized but effectively self-governing state in Somalia’s north.
“Somalia is for Somali people. Somalia is one. We are all brothers and sisters. Our land cannot be divided,” she said, assuring listeners that Somalis in the U.S. will decide the U.S. position on Somaliland and even alluding to reclaiming Somali territories in modern-day Kenya, Ethiopia, and other neighboring countries.
