The biography of the headlight

Investigation: MO FARA tried to hide the reception of L-Carnitin from the commission according to MO FARA himself, at the age of 8 or 9, he was sent to relatives in Djibuti, and already from there he, along with a woman who did not know before and who did not have his relatives, got to the UK. This woman told him that he was going to Europe to relatives, and this was very pleased with him.

The same woman told him to call himself Mohamed. According to MO, she had fake documents with his photo and the name "Mohamed Farah". The signature for the photo, MO arrived in Britain on false documents and under the name "Mohamed Farah" when they came to her apartment in Haun slide in the west of London, the woman took the boy a note with the address and telephone of his relatives.

I immediately realized that I was in trouble, ”he says. According to Sir Mo, in order not to remain hungry, he had to do work around and look after the children.

He was not allowed to go to school for the first few years, but when he turned 12, MO entered the 7th grade of the local Feltam college. The teachers said that the Mo was a refugee from Somali. As the BBC said his former teacher Sarah Renny, the boy was not lounged, closed and spoke poorly in English. People who called themselves his parents never appeared at parent meetings. However, his physical education teacher Alan Watkinson immediately noticed how the teenager was transformed when sports began.

And in fact, as Sir Mo says, the sport was his life: "Everything that I could do to get out of that life situation is to break out of the will and run." In the end, he told Watkinson about who he really was, about his past and about the people he had to work on. And then Mo appeared. However, he did not have any documents. Then his teacher Watkinson helped the boy submit documents for British citizenship under the name of Mo Fara, and in July the year became a full British citizen.

In the documentary film, lawyer Alan Briddok explains to Sir Mo that, strictly speaking, he received a passport by fraud or forgery, and from a legal point of view, the authorities could deprive him of British citizenship. However, in the case of Sir Mo, this is very unlikely. And this indicates how lucky I am, ”he admits. The BBC turned to the woman who brought Mo to London for comments, but did not receive them.
