Ottawa gang member deported to Somalia

[Jacaylbaro]

OTTAWA — A 25-year-old street gang member, who came to Ottawa from Somalia at the age of nine, has been deported to that country in an operation praised by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews.

 

But the father of Omar Ahmed is furious at the treatment of his son.

 

Abdi Farah told the Ottawa Citizen that his son was dropped last week in the lawless Somali capital of Mogadishu despite assurances he says he was given from Canadian officials that he would be flown to Bosaso, a city in the more stable state of Puntland.

 

A spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency would neither confirm nor deny the story Tuesday.

 

"I am unable to confirm specifically where he was returned to," said Chris Kealey, citing privacy concerns.

 

Ahmed had been held by federal immigration officials as a danger to Canadians since April 1. He agreed to be deported in order to end his indefinite detention.

 

According to his father, Ahmed waived his legal appeals based on the government's assurance he would be returned to Bosaso.

 

Ahmed has admitted to being a member of a notorious Ottawa street gang, the Ledbury Banff Crips. He was known on the street as "Ghost."

 

Ahmed has been convicted of a series of crimes, including possession of crack cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, assault, mischief and uttering threats.

 

According to an Ottawa police report, the LBC gang uses guns and other weapons to aggressively defend its turf for cocaine trafficking.

 

Farah said that when his son called him from the Mogadishu airport in a panic, he arranged for a cousin to find him. The two men then walked for three days — about 150 kilometres — before securing a ride to the city of Galkayo, in southern Puntland.

 

"I am so mad. They (Canadian officials) promised me he would be safe," said Farah, who fled the repressive Somali regime of president Siad Barre in 1986 and claimed refugee status in Canada.

 

He later brought his family, including his two young sons, to Ottawa from a refugee camp in Kenya.

 

Farah was not opposed to his son's deportation — he thought it might give him the chance to start over — but he said he is appalled at the government's handling of his return.

 

"They don't know what they're doing," he said. "Imagine: Mogadishu is the worst place on Earth — it's like Afghanistan. That boy has no experience."

 

Somalia's United Nations-backed government is now battling the Islamist group, al-Shabbab, for control of Mogadishu. The al-Qaida linked group already controls much of southern and central Somalia.

 

In a statement, Toews and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney congratulated the CBSA for its "successful removal" of Ahmed, who had been one of 11 Somalia-born criminals awaiting deportation from Canada.

 

"Removing dangerous offenders not only protects the safety of Canadians, but the integrity of the immigration system," Toews said. "We do not tolerate those who come to this country and commit serious crimes."

 

According to Farah, Canadian border agents flew with Ahmed to Nairobi, Kenya, where he was turned over to private security personnel for the flight to Somalia. Ahmed was told he would be taken to Mogadishu, then board an internal flight to Bosaso. In Mogadishu, however, he discovered there was no such flight.

 

"He was in a very critical condition," Farah said. "They just left him in the airport."

Quite Baffling that the ones who deported could not tell the difference between the two cities, maybe it was a way of punishing?

The father should aim to raise his son upon good character, Taqwa and deen from a young age. I was working with Somali community in London for the last 4 years. In all my years in community service, I barely saw any Somali father lend a hand to his son or daughter. Instead I met so many hardworking and dedicated Somali mothers who were struggling to raise their kids single handedly without any support from their spouses. Therefore, the absence of Somali fathers in the lives of our youth is a vital reason why so many youth have fallen into the hands of terrorists and organized criminal gangs. I am not saying all Somali fathers are irresponsible, there are some really good Somali fathers out there that are involved in their kid’s lives but honestly most Somali men especially those in the Diaspora are irresponsible. They know how to create babies, but unfortunately few of them know how to raise their children. My sincere advice to all Somali men and women is: Stop having kids if you cannot take care of them and also stop having so many kids for the sake of profit. It's terrible!
