Mo Farah says he was trafficked to the U.K. and forced into child labor
July 12, 20229:50 AM ET Mo Farah says he was trafficked to the U.K. and forced into child labor : NPR
Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah says he was trafficked to the U.K. under a false name and forced into child
labor, revealing stunning details about the painful path that culminated in him being awarded a knighthood.
“Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it’s not my name — or, it’s not the reality,” Farah said in a new
documentary about the track star.
“The real story is, I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin,” he added.
Farah has previously said he came to the U.K. as a young child with his parents, fleeing the war in Somalia.
But he now says his father died when Farah was four years old, and that he was soon separated from his
mother and other relatives.
“I was brought into the U.K. illegally under the name of another child, called Mohammed Farah,” he said. At
the time, he was around 8 or 9 years old.
The documentary, made by the BBC and Red Bull Studios, includes footage of visa documents that Farah
says were faked, bearing his photo and another child’s name.
“I know I’ve taken someone else’s place. And I do wonder, what is Mohammed doing now?” he said in the
documentary, clips of which are posted on the BBC’s website.
The woman who brought Farah into the U.K. had told him he would soon join his relatives in the country. He
carried a piece of paper with his family members’ contact information on it. But after arriving, the woman
tore up the paper and threw it in the trash.
“The lady, what she did wasn’t right,” Farah said.
Farah described being exploited and threatened, as he worked in the household of another family. There,
he was forced to cook and clean and tend to other children — and he was told to keep his mouth shut about
his true origin, or the authorities would take him away.
“Often, I would just lock myself in the bathroom and cry, and nobody’s there to help. So after a while, I just learned not to have that emotion,” he said.
The celebrated runner says his unique abilities and luck are all that saved him from trafficking and forced
servitude. When he was finally allowed to attend school, his talents quickly drew the attention of a teacher
who connected with him — and who then helped Farah get placed into a foster home with a different Somali
family.
Farah, who received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth in 2017, says he’s speaking out now about what
he went through to raise public awareness about other people who are caught in the same plight. The BBC
says it attempted to contact the woman who brought Farah into the U.K. for her side of the story, but she
hasn’t replied.

Gabarito: A
Fundamento decisivo: No trecho "The documentary, made by the BBC and Red Bull Studios, includes footage of visa documents...", o segmento intercalado se liga ao sintagma nominal "The documentary" e, na leitura escolar adotada pela questão, funciona como aposto especificativo, isto é, como elemento que particulariza esse referente; por isso, a alternativa correta é a A.
Tema central: tipos de aposto
Análise das alternativas
A
Certa
A alternativa A está correta porque "made by the BBC and Red Bull Studios" acrescenta ao nome "The documentary" uma informação identificadora sobre sua produção. Embora tenha aparência de forma reduzida, o enunciado cobra a classificação do trecho pelo seu valor apositivo, e esse valor é de especificação do termo antecedente.
B
Errada
Está errada porque não há repartição de elementos nem correspondência entre itens de uma série. A menção a "BBC and Red Bull Studios" integra a caracterização do documentário; não distribui informações por partes. Portanto, não se configura aposto distributivo.
C
Errada
Está errada porque o trecho não aproxima dois termos por semelhança nem estabelece analogia. "made by the BBC and Red Bull Studios" apenas informa uma característica do documentário. Sem relação comparativa, não há aposto comparativo.
D
Errada
Está errada porque o segmento entre vírgulas não resume termos anteriores nem retoma uma enumeração por síntese. Ele especifica um único referente já expresso, "The documentary". Falta, portanto, o traço de retomada global próprio do aposto recapitulativo.
E
Errada
Está errada porque o trecho sublinhado se vincula diretamente ao nome "The documentary" e, na classificação pedida, atua como aposto no sintagma nominal, não como aposto de oração com função recapitulativa. A forma reduzida não altera essa função apositiva de especificar o referente antecedente.
Pegadinha da questão
A banca explora a confusão entre a forma do trecho, que pode ser percebida como estrutura reduzida com verbo, e a função sintático-semântica cobrada: no contexto da questão, o segmento atua como aposto que especifica "The documentary".
Dica para questões semelhantes
- Verifique primeiro a que termo o segmento entre vírgulas se liga: aqui, ele se prende diretamente a "The documentary".
- Não decida o tipo de aposto só pela pontuação; observe se o trecho especifica um nome, resume elementos, distribui referentes ou retoma uma oração inteira.
- Se a informação acrescentada individualiza um referente já mencionado, o valor decisivo é de especificação, não de recapitulação ou comparação.
