Right Fam lets talk about Mehmet Dag. @AFRICANDEMOC a Thread....

Mehmet Vefa Dag, Turkish national/ failed politician has long been a figure of controversy in the country's political landscape. Known for his virulent homophobia and antisemitism, Dag has made a name for himself through inflammatory rhetoric and discriminatory campaigns, particularly targeting the LGBTQ+ community and Jewish people. However, beyond his online persona of a supposed 'caring' and 'patriotic leader' lies a deeply troubling personal history—one that culminated in the removal of his own children by the Indonesian government due to allegations of abuse.

Everything is public record and can be seen on the Indonesian Consulate's website and in court documents. Dag had married an Indonesian woman, Farah Munif, and they lived in Cape Town, South Africa. During their 10-year marriage, the family lived in deplorable conditions—a small room behind a store with no bathroom facilities, forcing them to use public restrooms. Farah passed away in 2019 after battling cancer, leaving their children in the care of Dag, according to the Indonesian Consulate In Cape Town.

The situation worsened after Farah's death. Reports surfaced that Dag was abusive toward his children, particularly the eldest child, who has Down syndrome and is non-verbal. The abuse included both physical and emotional harm, and due to the child's condition, the police were unable to process complaints made by a social worker.
