🥶🧊 Lamine Yamal: “What is aura? In football, Cristiano Ronaldo”.
“Aura is a person who gives off, something like when they arrive, it's like… WOW. For example, Brad Pitt or like that”.
“In football, Cristiano would be a good example of aura”.
Cristiano Ronaldo saw the message of the Venezuelan boy who lost everything after the earthquake and he took action ❤️🩹🙏🏼
In addition to sending him words of encouragement, he invited Andrés to meet him: “I want you to attend one of my games!”.
Sending strenght and all best wishes to Andrés 💭

“I also want to thank everyone for the respect they show him”.
“Thank you to all the Portuguese fans. I send you my kisses”.
“Football will always be in my heart, and in everyone’s”.

This coming week, I will be engaging the students and faculty of Harvard and Howard Universities. We shall have conversations about the struggle for democracy in Uganda, and the future of the African continent generally.
On Monday, 27th April, I will be at the Harvard University Center for African Studies in Cambridge, MA. On Tuesday, 28th April, I will be hosted by the African Studies Graduate Students Association (ASGSA) at Howard University University.
These engagements are part of our broader effort to strengthen solidarity and sharpen the ideas that will define Uganda and Africa’s democratic path.
