Somaliland Corroborates the Charges Against Ilhan Omar
20th March 2026
A reminder that “Somaliland” is the breakaway northern region, ignored by the rest of the world, where law and order prevails and people are relative ly prosperous—not “Somalia”, the poverty-stricken and clan-warfare-ridden eastern region, where there is no government to speak of but the UN keeps wasting money on ‘humanitarian aid’.
Let’s see – it’s been close to seven years since I wrote my first post on the subject of Omar’s marriage to her alleged brother. I deemed the evidence very plausible although unproven. The Powerline bloggers had already been on the case for quite some time and were quite convincing. But it was still treated as a wild and nasty slur.
Now we have the breakaway country of Somaliland saying that yes, it’s true – and also that her father was one of the oppressors, not the oppressed. I had started hearing that charge more recently; maybe a year or two ago?
I don’t think anything will come of this. One reason is that, even if there was fraud involved on Omar’s immigration application, it would have been on the part of her family, since she was about thirteen when she came to this country (at least according to Wiki). Even if proven, her immigration fraud in marrying her brother to help him would not invalidate her own status, according to my understanding of the law.
Nevertheless, it’s not a good look. Somaliland posts some documents here.
