The racist treatment that the Trump admin is currently doing to the sports delegates participating in the World cup 2026, even the Nazi Germany of Hitler didn't do it in the 1936 summer Olympics.
“I think it’s important to clarify this. There is a lot of misconception out there. Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup next year.
“There is a process to go through to get visas and so on. This process will be smooth…
“We want to unite the world and we will unite the world next year. The world needs occasions of unity, of bringing teams together, of bringing people together, of bringing fans together... So again everyone will be welcome, be positive and you will see it will be a great, great celebration” Gianni Infantino August 2025 @FIFAWorldCup
The Trump admin is by far the most racist and unprofessional administration in any major western countries, what they have done regarding the WC so far, is despicable, FIFA should be ashamed of themselves for turning a blind eye to all these violations.

@akech_andrew This political crisis was avoidable in my opinion, since both of them wanted the best for Senegal, their alliance should have continued even if it meant supporting another Bassirou's term with an agreement to support Sonko's bid in 2034, thus both of them could rule the country.

The Peace Agreement remains the basis of legitimacy for the transitional government in South Sudan. Unilateral changes to the Agreement are not in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Agreement and will not bring peace to South Sudan.
