🚨🚨🚨
We moved on too quickly.
The hashtags faded, the noise died, and life continued, but families are still trapped in the pain of that day.
47 days now 😭 😭 💔 💔 😭
We found another headline, another distraction, another story… but someone is still waiting, praying, and hurting.
A tragedy does not end because the world stops talking.
Remember the victims.
Remember the families.
Never let their pain become forgotten news.

Yan Diomande pens an incredibly emotional tribute to his late sister 💔:
🗣️ "Everything I do on a football pitch, it’s for you.
Remember when they took me on trial at Bournemouth? At Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiacos, Crystal Palace? Eze and Olise even came up to me after one training and said, 'Yo kid, you’re really good.'
But they still didn’t sign me.
Even the B teams in the MLS didn’t want me. I didn’t even know why. They never gave me a reason. The adults handled everything. They just kept taking me all around Europe, and everybody kept saying no.
My visa was up. My dream was over. They sent me back to Africa, and we cried together.
You were the one who never stopped believing. A few weeks later, I signed for Leganés and we cried different tears.
That was back when I used to have emotions. Now, I don’t feel anything. It’s like I’m not even human. Since you died, I’m just blank.
I wrote this because I can’t speak about it. I wrote this because I want you to know that I will make sure that you live on. I will make sure that everybody knows your name. The whole world."

"I think Senegal will win. Anyway, whatever happens, an African team will beat an African team!"
