Minister of Youth and Sports Mohamed Barre Mohamud stated his ministry did not understand how 20-year-old Nasra Abukar Ali was picked to complete in the females’s 100 at the trainee video games in Chengdu on Tuesday. The ministry individually launched a declaration directing the Somalia Olympic Committee to suspend nationwide sports federation chairwoman Khadija Aden Dahir in the middle of accusations that Nasra Abukar was a relative of hers and was provided the possibility to complete at the video games since of that. The Ministry of Youth and Sports need to step down. It’s discouraging to witness such an inept federal government. How could they pick an inexperienced lady to represent Somalia in running? It’s genuinely stunning and shows badly on our nation worldwide. pic.twitter.com/vMkBUA5JSL– Elham Garaad ✍ (@EGaraad_) August 1, 2023 Somalia’s university union stated it had actually not sent out any runners to China as part of a main Somali group.
