🚨DEAR @FCBayern and @AFCAjax
You guys must pull out of the scheduled friendly in Nairobi on January 5th.
At a time when Kenyans are enduring severe domestic economic pressures, a relentless rise in the cost of living, a struggling healthcare system, and ongoing human rights violations, spending More 1B of public funds on an expensive international exhibition match is a reckless misallocation of resources.
This match is not about sport—it is a calculated political maneuver designed to serve as a high-profile campaign tool ahead of upcoming elections, attempting to project a sanitized image of the country while ignoring widespread public discontent over governance, excessive taxation, and systemic rights abuses.
I know there is nothing is can do to stop this, but I urge both clubs to stand on the right side of history, respect the Kenyan people, and boycott this event.❗
Kindly let us share widely for the information to reach these clubs 🗽
