SOMALI REFUGEE LIVING THE STREET LIFE

OMAR ❤️‍🩹
Skip Intro ➡️ 2:05 (Interview)

[@fateemahbaby03]

The trauma this brother endured. He deserves for us to support his health with the best doctors and provide him therapy and a place for him to live. I think the world would chip in to do this because HE IS SO WORTHY!!!!

[@rippedlikrambo1]

you pay for it

[@leylafaisal3682]

Since arriving in Feb 1993 and still recalling all events to the small details, amazing iq. May Allah protect him forever!!!

[@mustafaheiss2659]

Reality is, the messed up beliefs Somalis have about the developed countries ruined this mans life. He got sent to Canada as a kid with no family, he had no chance from the get go! I am a new comer to Canada, I came here as a grown man, it is still hard. Sometimes you ask yourself would I rather be poor but be back home? Or would I rather be poor, miserable and alone but be in Canada. Haha! Every one that came to this country that I spoke to is miserable, we have been duuuped! I always knew life in the diaspora was overrated even before coming to Canada, but damn it is harder when you actually experience the rough life here!! Praying for you my man, Insha allah you will get through this.

[@farooqkeita700]

Sahih

[@99alp99fila]

This is the same thing even in Europe if you are a immigrant life's very hard and stressful. Living in Africa is way easier and better. But the problem in africa is lack of jobs.

[@aboodyaboody4545]

Wow, man, wow

[@wm9669]

My brother got sent to Canada when he was 14. Fast forward he is almost 50 and we don’t have much connection. I ended up in another country , my other sister is somewhere else. Depression is our companion

[@muslimahsista]

14 yrs old and alone? That was very young age for your brother

[@ProudAfrican]

That's all of us in the Somali community in the Diaspora Unfortunately 😭😭😭😭

[@Kiama17]

Do not be depressed. Exercise and social connections is the cure. Know this world is a test. God has a plan for you

[@rjf3826]

This life story made me sit back and realize there's real struggles out there. Thank you Omar 🙏

[@maggie2234]

Reading through the torrential and a bit disorganized narrative, what strikes is how intelligent this man is and how, given other chances, he could have had a very different life. Thank you, Reed for giving unlistened people the opportunity for their voices to be heard. 🙏👏❤

[@shankaroont4959]

His story spook to my soul. He’s story as Somali around his age is so relatable. This guy is telling our story in so many ways. I understood almost everything he said. Suck great story teller. He has away with words Ma sha allah. Allah heal him and guide him.

[@zulekhajama2894]

Oman has a beautiful soul. May Allah grant him ease and heal him. There's a sensitive soul, a good innate within him. Insha'allah he will get the help he needs and find his way back. He truly moved me. I sincerely pray for him, for all of us and anyone else that's struggling.

[@payitforwardpower9910]

Man I wish this brother the best. When he said my mind broke in half I felt that. 😢

This guy is so interesting. I wish him the best in life ❤

Omar, you are a cool guy with tons of potential. We believe in you! ❤❤❤❤

[@frankwright9774]

nothing screams potential like meth addiction

[@fateemahbaby03]

@@frankwright9774hey frank, interesting take. The dude explained how he was sent at the age of 4 with his brother to Canada by themselves and later “disciplined” and had most of their paychecks taken away by their guardians at the time. How he really wasn’t raised with his other siblings and when they got older and connected they took advantage of him. How his health started to deteriorate and nobody was able to help him. To be placed under such immense pressure would break you. To literally have no one. Eventually lead him to the streets and during that time started with drugs. Drugs become the “tool” used to alleviate the immense pressure they feel. It’s clear you haven’t taken the time to listen to his hour long story and sympathize with his position as a human being. Must be nice judging others from your nice couch and iPhone.

[@Mina.15]

​@@frankwright9774only God can judge him.

[@manofdeeds23]

The story of guy is so touching and he is also look smart. Keep releasing videos like this and be consistent by releasing videos every week

[@ArmaniCoppedDatCobra]

I hope reed can show this man the overwhelming support he has in the comment section. May Allah continue to give you this positivity you still have, and hope in Allah. This will inshallah bring you back to a better version of you. Believe me you are not the only one who falls in life, others do too, they are just better at hiding it. May Allah grant you to forgive, accept and move past some things. May Allah grant you a closer relationship with Allah and the Quran. I believe in you ! I know you'll make it ! Stay strong. Love other Somalis around the west ❤️❤️

[@moadam7003]

I came to MPLS as a teenager but empowered myself with education and never touched drugs, so brother seek professional medical/psychological help, learn your religion/islam and practice it then trust me you will succeed!

[@smartmustafemedia8511]

Same to u. I came here twincities as a teenage, without my parent. I stay away to hang out with bad people. As a teenager, u have to be able to take care your self. Im back home, 8 yrs old become a fulltime Geeljire. Lol

May allah make it easy for you to get back on your feet Insha allah akhi

He doesn't mention his drug addiction throughout the interview until you asked in the end and that is the problem. He blames everyone but himself. I'm sure his siblings tried but because he wasn't willing to help himself, they gave up. He has to want to help himself.

My advice is you find somthing better to do then taking advantage of these homless and mentally Ill people and putting them on the web.

[@macdee8837]

They would be gone and forgotten about. This gets a story out, he lets them tell it hes not telling them what to say. It only takes 1 person to see this in the right spot to help him. This guy literally has nobody. Hes disconnected from the real world with a tramuatized past and no family or anyone to lean on. Its easy to tell someohe how to help when your not the one helping.

I disagree with that. His ethnicity is Somali first and foremost and what actually made me interact with this video is the fact he was a Somali brother.

[@Canada-1958]

@DEACON-em2gs I am talking his legal status. NOT his ETHNICITY.What attracts your readers is "somali Refugee," BUT YOU could write " Somali Canadian homeless " brother. REFUGEE CARRIES LEgal,social, AND CITIZENSHIP issues UNLIKE A Canadian citizen with full legal, social,medical and health rights.
