🚨📢| José Mourinho on the Somali Referee Drama and the 2026 World Cup:
“It’s not about UEFA appointing the Somali referee for the Super Cup between PSG and Aston Villa,” Mourinho reportedly argued. “We need to blame FIFA for all this drama. Why take a precious tournament to a country that’s not traditionally known for football passion in the same way, and then have all these issues with people getting denied entry? This must be shaping up to be one of the most chaotic and boring World Cups ever.
not just about welcoming him back home as a hero or finding him another stage. Things have to be done properly next time-proper planning, better coordination with hosts on visas and security-or the World Cup will start losing its credibility. Football’s biggest event can’t keep getting dragged into these avoidable messes.”
⚡️Egyptian football legend Mohamed Aboutrika:
Whoever wants to whitewash their image hosts the World Cup.
A country that is participating in a genocide in Gaza right now wants to whitewash its image through the World Cup.
A country that waged a war against another country is now whitewashing its image through the World Cup.
A country that kidnapped a president of another country is now hosting a World Cup.
Then they tell us, “We are democracy” and bla bla bla
In 1966, All African counties boycotted the World Cup to protest apartheid and how black South Africans were marginalized
In 2026, All African countries supported Mexico against South Africa in protest against their xenophobia
Live long enough
🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
Frank Gashumba has still not been arrested or addressed for threatening the safety and security of Ugandans.
Banyarwanda privilege🙄.
This just goes to show that if M23 actually came to Uganda the UPDF would let them slaughter you. Actually they would join in on the fun.
The matters raised in this petition concern possible violations of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda , Uganda Public Service Standing orders , the Foreign Service Standing Orders , the Leadership Code Act , the Diplomatic Privileges Act , Cap 201 and the Principles underlying the Protection of Sovereignty Act.

Latest is that @kizzabesigye1 & Obeid Lutale lawyers have petitioned @ug_lawsociety to intervene and look into the conduct of Justice Emmanuel Baguma, and the irregular manner in which he has handled the treason case against Besigye and Lutale. https://t.co/nsvz4rPl7V
Lawyers for @kizzabesigye1 & Obeid Lutale are blocked at Luzira prisons with evidence files & electronic gadgets to process a defense with Besigye and Lutale. Prosecution submitted 900 pages of documents and 11hrs of Tape as evidence for trial. It begins 11.06.2026 with defence
Finally, a man based in Mogadishu – not in Europe or the US – beats all odds and rises to the top (of the world’s largest sporting event), America beats him down.
It looks like a pattern for America: 1994. 2006. 2026.
Omar Artan – we are proud of you.
@regesa Even when he [Aggtey Awori] was Uganda's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in Washington, USA 1981-85 and ambassador to Belgium 1985-87, he never changed his nationality.
....Museveni, for all his power, looks diminished by comparison. As I always say and continue saying, Besigye is an idea that can not be imprisoned. We love and cherish you, @kizzabesigye1, the president we never had.
