🚨 OFFICIAL: Fede Valverde statement.
“Yesterday I had an incident with a teammate during a training session. The fatigue from competition and the frustration made everything seem blown out of proportion”.
“In a normal locker room, these things can happen and are usually resolved internally without it becoming all public”.
“Clearly, someone here is spreading rumors, and with a season without titles, where Real Madrid is always under scrutiny, everything gets blown out of proportion”.
“Today we had another disagreement. During the argument, I accidentally hit a table, causing a small cut on my forehead that required a routine visit to the hospital”.
“At no point did my teammate hit me, I didn’t hit him either”.
“I feel that my anger about the situation, frustration at seeing some of us struggling to get through end of season, giving it our all, pushed me to the point of arguing with a teammate”.
“I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry because this situation hurts me, this moment we’re going through is painful”.
“Real Madrid is one of the most important things in my life and I can’t be indifferent to it. The result is accumulation of things that culminate in a senseless fight, damaging my image and leaving room for doubt that they will add fuel to the fire of an accident”.
“I wasn’t going to speak out until the end of the season. We were eliminated from the Champions League, and I kept my anger and resentment to myself”.
“We’ve wasted another year, and I wasn’t in a position to be posting on social media when the only face I had to show was on the field, and I feel that’s what I did. That’s why I’m the one who’s most saddened and pained to be going through this situation that prevents me from playing the next match due to medical decisions”.
“I always gave it my all, to the very end, and it hurts me more than anyone not to be able to do so. I am available to the club and my teammates to collaborate on any decision they deem necessary. Thank you”.
In Zaatari refugee camp, High Commissioner @BarhamSalih listened to families who have endured 14 years of displacement yet still speak of home with hope.
We must stand with refugees and host communities, so every return is truly voluntary, safe and dignified.
A video by Kurdish activist Halwest Jamal, who details the resurgence of ISIS in #Rojava, Syria, amid clashes between Syrian government forces and the Kurdish-led SDF, highlighting ethnic cleansing risks and U.S. abandonment after Kurds' key role in defeating ISIS in 2019.
As I have previously stated, I am growing increasingly concerned that the new Syrian government is aligning with Turkey to use military force against the Syrian Kurds, who are our strongest ally in the enduring defeat of ISIS in Syria.
They also have control of about 9,000 of the worst of the worst ISIS prisoners. It is in our vital national security interest that these prisoners do not go back to the battlefield.
I support a fair chance for the new Syrian government, however if there’s an escalation of attacks against the Kurds by Syrian forces supported by Turkey, this will create a whole new dynamic.
I believe there would be wide and deep bipartisan support to push back against such action. If anyone believes that I or any of my colleagues would be comfortable - at this stage - for the ISIS prisoners to be guarded by the Syrian army or Turkey instead of the Kurds, you are sadly mistaken. Choose wisely.

🚨To the Western world and to every free person: The Kurdish people, who fought terrorism and defeated ISIS, the most brutal terrorist organization in the world, are now being subjected to ethnic cleansing at the hands of these terrorists led by al-Julani. We Kurds, who protected Europe and America from terrorism and captured thousands of terrorists, are now under a major attack by the terrorist AlJulani. We demand a political and humanitarian stance from the West.
