39-year-old Olympic great, Mo Farah, has narrated how he was illegally trafficked as a child to Britain from Djibouti and forced to work as a servant, revealing his real name to be Hussein Abdi Kahin.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a BBC TV documentary \u201cThe Real Mo Farah\u201d to be aired Wednesday, the distance runner said he was flown to the UK from the East African country aged eight or nine by a woman he had never met, given the name Mohammed Farah, and then made to look after another family\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

Farah, who completed the 5,000m-10,000m double at both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics, has previously said he came to the UK as a refugee<\/a> from Somalia with his parents.<\/p>\n

But in stunning revelations, said his parents have never been to the UK.<\/p>\n

His father was killed in civil unrest in Somalia<\/a> when Farah was four years old and his mother, Aisha, and two brothers live in the breakaway state of Somaliland, which is not internationally recognised.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is I\u2019m not who you think I am,\u201d says Farah.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people know me as Mo Farah, but it\u2019s not my name or it\u2019s not the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman who flew with him to the UK told him he was being taken to live with relatives and to say his name was Mohamed as she had fake travel documents that showed his photo next to the name \u201cMohamed Farah\u201d.<\/p>\n

Farah said his children motivated him to tell the truth about his past.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the main reason in telling my story because I want to feel normal and don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re holding on to something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farah\u2019s wife Tania said in the year leading up to their 2010 wedding she realised \u201cthere were lots of missing pieces to his story\u201d but she eventually \u201cwore him down with the questioning\u201d and he told the truth.<\/p>\n

When he arrived in the UK, Farah says the woman who accompanied him took a piece of paper from him that had his relatives\u2019 contact details and \u201cripped it up and put it in the bin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that moment, I knew I was in trouble,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Farah says he was forced to do housework and childcare \u201cif I wanted food in my mouth\u201d, and was told: \u201cIf you ever want to see your family again, don\u2019t say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOften, I would just lock myself in the bathroom and cry,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

His life was transformed for the better once he went to live with Kinsi Farah, the sister of the man who is alleged to have aided in his journey to England.<\/p>\n

She tells him in the documentary that she wanted to protect him and adds she does not know why her sister-in-law brought him to England.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think that was her reason when she bought me to the UK, in helping her with cooking, cleaning?\u201d asks Farah in a video call.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d she replies.<\/p>\n

The athlete is also reunited with his mother in Somaliland in the documentary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sent you away because of the war,\u201d his mother tells him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were given a name that was not yours, sent away to England, a country you knew nothing about.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important that you tell your story. Lying is a sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farah\u2019s physical education teacher, Alan Watkinson, noticed how the youngster\u2019s mood changed when he was on the running track.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only language he seemed to understand was the language of PE and sport,\u201d says Watkinson.<\/p>\n

Farah says it was athletics that enabled him to escape.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing I could do to get away from this (situation) was to get out and run,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Farah eventually told Watkinson the truth and he informed local authorities.<\/p>\n

It was Watkinson who applied for Farah\u2019s British citizenship which he described as a \u201clong process\u201d and on July 25, 2000 Farah was recognised as a British citizen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often think about the other Mohamed Farah, the boy whose place I took on that plane and I really hope he\u2019s OK,\u201d said Farah.<\/p>\n

Farah was told by lawyers during the making of the documentary due to \u201cfalse representations\u201d he risked being stripped of his British citizenship.<\/p>\n

However, a Home Office spokesman told The Times \u201cNo action whatsoever will be taken\u201d against Farah \u2014 often called \u2018Sir Mo\u2019 after he was ennobled by Queen Elizabeth II in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
