Somalia native Rep. Ilhan Omar has deleted her own statement about slavery in the United States after being confronted by the fact that her own native soil has thousands in slavery.
Omar, a far-left Democrat from Minnesota whose own political career has been littered with scandals over her marriages, routinely blasts America as a horrible country for its treatment of immigrants, blacks, and more.
She often has confirmed she is in Congress to look out for the interests of Somalia’s people.
It was when she posted a Juneteenth comment that she was caught.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
She said, “160 years ago on June 19, 1865, slavery ended in this country. Today, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, and achievement, and continue the work to root out systematic racism from our policies and institutions.”
It was commenter Gunther Eagleman who responded, “Somalia still has slaves. Ilhan should go fight to free her own people,” and then later followed with, “She deleted her post.”
A report at the Gateway Pundit said, “Another Juneteenth post by Omar remains, ‘On Juneteenth, we remember that freedom is not always swift but it is always worth the fight. It’s a powerful reminder of how long justice can take to reach those who deserve it most. Today, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, and achievement, and continue the work to root out systematic racism from our policies and institutions.’”
The report cited a 2024 State Department report confirming human trafficking in Somalia: “IDPs, minority populations, people residing in al-Shabaab territory, and Somali children working in informal sectors remain the most vulnerable to sex trafficking and forced labor. Some Somalis willingly surrender custody of their children to people with whom they share familial ties or clan linkages who may subsequently exploit some of these children in forced labor or sex trafficking. Traffickers may exploit children in forced labor in agriculture, domestic work, herding, selling or portering khat, crushing stones, fishing, forced begging, or construction.”
And the report noted a 2023 Walk Free estimate of nearly 100,00 enslaved in Somalia.
