When's the last time Somalia was a functioning country?

So a whopping 3 runners of Somali origin have ever run under 2:10. Other than Mo, these are not world beaters. And all of the top 3 developed outside of Somalia.

1991, but there's not shortage of Somali's living around the world. Only 3 have ever run sub 2:10.

The answer is that despite efforts since the early 2000s, the country hasn't had a functioning central government controlling the country since 1991, when civil war broke out. Between 1960 and 1969, it had a civil government, and then Mohamed Siad Barre was dictator until the civil war. Even between 1969 and 1991, the country was highly unstable and there were numerous wars. As for Mo being born in Somalia, note that part or all of Somalia was a British protectorate/colony for decades prior to independence.

I don't think his country of birth is what most people don't like about Mo.

It's probably more the questionable career trajectory and training practices along with his association with some dodgey characters that set people off.

And Mo's father was born and raised in England.

Ignoring race is ignorant. The country you were born in has nothing to do with your genetic makeup.

Sebastian Coe is half Indian. Does he count as British? Do we say he is from India?

Really? Somali's are lucky to reach age 30.

That explains a lot.

I could care less where he's from or what colour he is. He's as dodgy as they come, and I despise the fact that he's permitted to continue as he has. If any of you are for clean sport, then you'll feel the same.

Firstly, Mo's dad was born in the UK??? Evidence? Pretty sure he moved there as a student, most western countries have free study schemes for third worlders and I bet that he was there on that. I personally don't have a problem calling Mo a British, he has lived there since he was 10. I do have an issue with the no 8 or 10 ranked Kenyan/Ethiopian/Moroccan moving to Western countries at 23 and breaking long standing records. I think that is a scam.

Serious question. Why doesn’t Mo’s twin brother have British citizenship? How does that work?

Funny how it's the same people that say Mo has better genetics as an African and that Kenyans win only because they're taking EPO.

And I'm not a "doping apologist", rather a fan of Mo's doorbell.

So, by some of the racist comments here, I deduct that in-fact they are not American. As, none of them are native to the US, they are most likely British immigrant descendants.

So, if Mohammed isn't British, then you're not American. It's really that SIMPLE.

Exactly. Coe’s father was born in Britain too.
