[2] Ilhan Omar has been hiding links to two of her siblings in London in an alleged bid to create further distance between her and rumored brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi — whom she married in 2009.

Multiple sources told The Post that Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, a political activist for the Puntland cause in Somalia, and Leila Nur Said Elmi, 53, are Omar’s siblings who live in London.

Ahmed Elmi, 41 — to whom Omar was married for eight years, and who described himself as “a gay man” in a recent academic paper — is also believed to have lived with Leila while growing up.

The congresswoman, 44, arrived in the US as a refugee from Somalia in 1995, while the other branch of her family made their way to London via Ukraine.

“They are all one family,” a friend of the Omar family claimed in an interview with The Post. “The siblings have the same mum and the same dad and within the Somali community acknowledge each other as brothers and sisters.

“But they keep it quiet to the rest of the world because Ilhan is now in politics. They do not want people to find the link between her and Ahmed [Elmi].”

The family spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp after fleeing Somalia when war broke out.

But the family, which originally had the surname Elmi, made the decision to seek safety abroad as soon as they could, according to a family friend in Minnesota... NYPost
