Mo Farah's brother is facing deportation to Somalia

Thousands of proud Brits are poised to salute athletics legend Mo Farah at Olympic parades, but there’s one man who won’t be joining the cheers.

Mo is set to lead Team GB heroes at celebrations in London and Manchester – and is also tipped to receive a knighthood for grabbing gold in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres at two Games running.

But his younger brother Ahmed can’t enjoy or share the moment because he faces being booted out of Britain and sent back to Somalia, according to the Mirror.

Ahmed, 27, was just two when he and an eight-year-old Mo were brought to Britain 25 years ago.

Now he faces being deported back to the war-torn country for crimes that landed him in jail in the UK in 2011.

In a direct plea to officials planning to kick him out, Ahmed says: “I can’t go back to where Mo and I were born – it is too dangerous.

"I’m scared I would end up dead. I feel there’s no hope for me.

“I am afraid for my life. I have no roots in Somalia. People would kill me, because I’m different. They would not class me as their own.

“They’d see me as an outsider, somebody whose family ran away and they don’t want to welcome me back.”

Ahmed’s plea comes after he was among TV millions who witnessed Mo achieve athletics immortality by winning double gold at Rio.
