Trade Unions in Somalia accuse former Secretary General of the National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) union, Omar Faruk Osman who also claims the head of Federation of Somalia Trade Unions (FESTU) of extreme fraud and corruption practices by obtaining huge grants from international donors including ILO and Italian government.
According to a joint statement by Somali Trade Unions including Somali Congress of Trade Unions (SOCOTU), Federation of Somali Journalists (FESOJ), Somali Teachers Union, doctors and Lawyers Associations financial assistance for promoting social justice and internationally recognized human and labor rights, through a decent work agenda has ended to the pockets of individuals who exploit in the name of Somali workers with some officials from the Ministry of Labor of the Federal Government of Somalia .
In a joint press statement of the Somali Trade Unions seen by Somalitopnews.com said, Omar Faruk Osman, a known fraudulent trade unionist in Somalia who is getting breastfeeding from Somalia’s Minister of Labor Sadik Warfaa, received funds from several governments and INGOs including Italy through ILO which trade unions believe is being exploited and corrupted in a different way too far from the donors’ aims.
Omar Faruk Osman is currently involved in illegal human trafficking with a large number of young Somali people migrants to Europe.
There is a link between a few ministries from the Federal Government of Somalia which have ties with Omar Faruk on transporting people to Europe by facilitating invitations and making them they attend international trade unions and media conferences.
Representatives from Somali Trade Unions who jointly signed the press statement alleged Mr. Omar Faruk Osman for pilfering and hijacking the password of the Somali Journalists Union (NUSOJ), the same thing he did with East Africa Journalist Association in the past. He has a criminal record in Kenya and Ethiopia was also separately detained in Nairobi and Addis Ababa with issues relating to money laundering and fraud, see below links and articles.
