⚡️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

Lmaooo but it’s also dumb tho because why would you even get recruited to go there when you can go somewhere else and make money? Just a dumb thing to say illustrating a lack of awareness of where the sport is at/headed to

الحكم الصومالي عمر عبد القادر أرتان…

قصة كفاح حقيقية من شوارع وملاعب بسيطة إلى أكبر مسرح رياضي في العالم، كأس العالم.

رجل عمل سنوات طويلة بإصرار، دون إمكانيات، دون دعم حقيقي، ومن دولة تعاني الكثير، لكنه آمن بموهبته حتى أصبح حاضرًا في أكبر البطولات الإفريقية وأدار نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا بكل جدارة.

واليوم، وبعد كل هذا الطريق الشاق، تأتي قرارات الفيزا والعنصرية ضد الصومال لتحرمه من حلمٍ استحقه بعمله وتعبه، لا بالمجاملات.

مؤلم أن يُعاقب إنسان ناجح فقط بسبب جواز سفره.
كرة القدم يفترض أن تجمع العالم… لا أن تغلق أبوابها في وجه من قاتل للوصول إليه

I had made the decision to boycott the World Cup a while back and honestly because I’m such a football head I was contemplating going back on that decision and basically the decision to deny Omar Artan to enter the host nation has basically cemented my decision for me. #fuckfifa

⭕️ The World Cup Is Here. Not Everyone Is Welcome

As the FIFA World Cup gets underway on U.S. soil, a pattern of visa denials and border incidents is casting a dark shadow on the tournament.

◽️ Iraq: Striker Aymen Hussein was held for nearly seven hours at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport upon arrival for a pre-tournament friendly. The team’s photographer was denied entry outright over what U.S. Customs and Border Protection described as “vetting concerns,” with no further details provided. Iraq is making its first World Cup appearance in 40 years. (Chicago Sun Times)

◽️ Morocco: At least 90 fans from two major supporters’ groups were denied U.S. visas ahead of the tournament, most under a clause citing doubts about their intention to return home — despite documented travel histories to Russia 2018, Qatar 2022, and the Paris Olympics. Some lost tens of thousands of dirhams in non-refundable bookings. (Canary)

◽️ Somalia: FIFA-appointed referee Omar Artan was denied entry to the U.S. and immediately sent back, according to journalist Romain Molina. Even a diplomatic passport secured through the Somali embassy in Nairobi was not enough to gain entry.

We’ve reached the point where Nazi Germany placed less restrictions on foreign participation in the 1936 Olympics than has the United States for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Dirty rotten scoundrel Gianni Infantino must never be allowed to live down his obsequious sycophancy towards the US leadership.

“Despite claims by U.S. officials, we are aware that CENTCOM is fully coordinated and cooperating with the Zionist regime in both defensive and offensive operations.”

Iran’s opening of a Lebanon support front not only overturns the nonsensical “proxy” label routinely levelled against Hizbullah, but also demolishes the very premise of the Lebanese collaborationist government’s mantra that Hizbullah “dragged” Lebanon into a “war of others.”

But more importantly, Iran’s provision of this security umbrella to Lebanon demonstrates not merely the inextricability of Iran’s and Hizbullah’s strategic interests, nor just the depth of their ideological and religio-cultural ties, but their shared conception of sovereignty as regional self-determination--a substantive, lived sovereignty that must be continuously enacted and defended through struggle and solidarity, as opposed to the formal externally conferred sovereignty, which as the Lebanese government demonstrates, can be denied or surrendered entirely in practice.

You could say he’s younger but genuinely Saliba is the better defender even tho I love Gabriel.. the scandal tho is who in the world values Van Dijk at €100 million today?

[JACINTA❤️ @JacentaArs]

Can someone explain to me like I’m 6 years old why Saliba has a higher market value than Gabriel?

They’re going to potentially blunt the effectiveness of future sexual assault allegations against politicians because they wanna railroad this man so bad.. awful behavior from elite media like what does “unsettling and physically threatening,” mean? Where is the line drawn?

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing allegations of unsettling and in at least one case physically threatening behavior toward women he dated, according to a report published by The New York Times. https://t.co/r3rJHXlL7R

[Hassan Ali Khaire @HassanAKhaire]

Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, whose presidential mandate constitutionally expired on 15 May 2026, bears full responsibility for today’s violent attack on our consultative meeting, which brought together more than 70 traditional elders led by Ugaas Abdirizak, Ugaas Abdullahi, Ugaas Hashi, alongside Members of Parliament, opposition representatives, youth leaders, and civil society activists.

We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and pray for the swift recovery of the injured.

This attack is a grave assault on the constitutional rights of Somali citizens and a deliberate attempt to suppress peaceful assembly. It occurred as we were preparing for the Peace Assembly scheduled for tomorrow, June 4, following months of reconciliation dialogue with all stakeholders.

Somalia’s future must be built on dialogue, consensus, and constitutional order — not force and repression. Those responsible will be held accountable.

EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is getting the documentary treatment.

“Bukayo Saka: The Time is Now” has been unveiled less than two weeks after Arsenal won its first Premier League title since 2004 and a week after the London club narrowly missed out on being crowned champions of Europe.

The only acceptable “pro-Palestine” position for Ben is one in which Palestinians lay down their arms and succumb to their total annihilation. Should they lift even a finger against their colonizers, that is simply a step too far.
