The twin brother of Britain’s Olympic gold medal
hero Mo Farah has spoken for the first time about
how they were torn apart as boys amid the chaos
of civil war in Somalia.
In a heartbreaking story of a childhood fractured
by violence and turmoil, Hassan Farah has
revealed he and Mo had such a close bond that
they slept in the same bed and shared food from
the same plate.
The pair were so strikingly similar that teachers
and even friends confused one for the other.
But the boys were forced to say goodbye at the
age of eight when their parents made the
agonising decision to send three of their six
children, including Mo, to Britain for a chance of a
better life. It was a wrench neither of them has
forgotten and it was a full 12 years until the twins
saw each other again.
