OK Anons. I've just been talking to one of my neighbours, an elderly Somali woman who is actually ok as neighbours go.

She has a very thick accent so its hard to understand what she's saying but you can get the general story.

She was telling me about how bad the war was in Somalia, horror stories of whole families being kidnapped and murdered, teachers etc

About half hour in, i said have you heard of the Somali politician in America? She immediately said Ihlan Omar.

I said do you know she married her brother? She was in shock, but then she said

The story i just told you is Ihlans family. They ruled Somalia.

Barre ruled from 1969 to 1991. Omar arrived in America in 1992 "Fleeing from war" even though the dictator was overthrown.

Yes Anon. She is a decent enough woman, you could see that it hurts her to talk about it. She actually said it makes me embarrassed how bad Somalia is. Worth a dig i think

The way she said it i believe they could be cousins of sorts.

She said that they are the same family, that they had Tribal rule and close family members got top jobs like chief of police etc. (Omars grandfather was Director of maritime)

Again this was trying to understand through her thick accent but she said that they went to Kenya and Nigeria.

I don't know if that helps

Makes sense Anon. She mentioned Cuba helped (the dictator family) and 2 other Muslim countries were mentioned. You are on the right track as to who she was talking about
