British Somalilanders Celebrate Mo Farah’s Olympic Triumphs
Like the rest of the nation, the West London Somaliland Community
and the British Somalilanders at large are delighted to celebrate Mo
Farah’s record breaking achievements and Team GB’s London 2012
Olympic Games performance.
Mo and Team GB have indeed “done us all proud”.
We join the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic of
Somaliland in their congratulato ry messages to Mo Farah.
“Mo was already a hero for Young British Somalilanders, but his
Olympic feat will always be in th eir minds. As an Association that
works with young people, our challenge now is to reinforce Mo’s
message that with application, discipline and “hard graft”, anything
is possible to achieve”, said Id Hassan Muse, Coordinator of West
London Somaliland Community.
We extend the best wishes of all the Somaliland community to Mo
Farah and his family. We hope that everything goes well with the
imminent birth of his twin babies in the next few days and look
forward to their welcome addition to the London Somaliland
community.
