Referee Omar Artan was given a hero’s welcome as he arrived back in Somalia after he was denied entry to the US 🇸🇴

But honestly, why didn't FIFA intervene?

Denied entry in the US, welcomed home like a champion in Somalia. 🇸🇴❤️ The reception says it all. Omar Artan has become a symbol of pride for a lot of people back home. 👏🔥

He has links to Islamic terrorism

The last time they were this happy was when they shot down our Blackhawks

That’s wonderful. He is home, exactly where he should be. You see how well Nationalism works?

Really, sometimes the world seems very beautiful, it seems that there are still good people in the world.

This should have been after he's had an amazing tournament. Premature but worth it. Shame on FIFA for enabling this mess and on CAF for not protecting one of it's own!!!

Here’s the truth about why he was denied entry👇🏻

@AliA68068 He's welcomed like hero

Welcome omar artan🇸🇴💙

Great! But this still doesn't make up for the-once-in-a- lifetime opportunity this man will miss all because of Trump's hatred for the Somalia people. Has there ever been a more hardworking community that has suffered as much slander and animosity as Haitians? I wonder why.

If any other country did just 10% of what the US is doing, they would have been stripped of hosting the World Cup. In future the US shouldn’t bid to host anything where global southerners are participating, the US should just organise their own cup and invite their preferred nations to participate.

Last time I saw Somalis cheering they were dragging the bodies of dead US soldiers through their streets. Soldiers which were there to prevent people from starving and keep the peace.

Back home where he belongs

I’m tearing up man 🥺 He’s only trying to archive his dreams by being at the World Cup, fifa please do something about this .

FIFA high-ranking Referee, Omar Artan, welcome to your homeland, "Somalia!" Those who wanted to disgrace you are the ones now who are really disgraced! - Your name and your popularity have risen highly throughout the World. You are in the headlines of all the world's newspapers.

America under Trump is a cesspool of racism and bigotry. It will for years be a country which is hated by every decent human being. I don’t know whether it’s a result of Trump’s hatable personality or Trump did it intentionally on behest of a foreign power. This will be the most controversial WC ever.

He should just stay there.

#OmarArtan is now bigger news than the entire trump @FIFAWorldCup

@BBCMOTD This World Cup really is building up to be a disaster.

Funny how a man labeled a "security threat" is welcomed by thousands of people celebrating his return. The contrast is striking.

Excellent news. Fucking stay there.

@olateeman Definition of there’s love at home. Wishing him the very best.

FIFA is the boot of uncle Sam and his toilet paper. They could've easily swap him with another referee assigned to Canada or Mexico, but ‼️‼️as I said.

Fantastic, keep muslim extremists in Africa and out of the west. Everybody wins.

You missing out an important part of the story BBC? The guy was denied entry because he had terrorist organisations links and was questioned about it on arrival Hardly a hero

@FYRE100 FIFA could have had him referee matches in Mexico or Canada but wanted to make a stink with the US.

Nice. They should do this with every Somali that gets deported. Make it really attractive to go the fuck back to their country

Americans are celebrating too. We appreciate an effective immigration system. This means our leaders make the hard choices to keep out a few "good" in order to protect Americans from the "bad".

Referee Omar Artan was given a hero’s welcome as he arrived back in Somalia after he was denied entry to the US ... for having ties to terrorist groups.

So the same guy that was a security threat is the same guy that gets a massive “welcome home” party, ok got it.

All you thick leftists support the guy.......

Did you guys report on his alleged ties to terrorists? Or are you still crying about made up racism? We don't allow anyone with terrorist ties into the U.S. This isn't the Biden Administration.
