🏆 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.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.
A video that the world must never forget.
The hypocrisy is hard to miss. FIFA constantly talks about inclusion, equality, and football being for everyone, yet when a World Cup referee is denied entry because of his nationality, the response is basically “relax and chill.” If this happened to a referee from a western country, would the reaction be the same? It’s easy to champion inclusion when it’s a slogan; it’s much harder when it requires taking a firm stand.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Omar Artan, a Somali referee who was due to officiate at the World Cup but has been denied entry to the United States:
“It’s unfortunate what happened to Omar. But again, we don't control everything. We try, we discuss, we see. Maybe it's good to just chill, relax.
“We try to solve everything. Sometimes screaming and shouting has the opposite effect. Don't believe me if you don't want but we always try to find solutions. We are not the kings of the world.”

If Africa's top referee is inadmissible in America, who qualifies? Many are calling it racism.
Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was denied entry into the US "due to vetting concerns" even though he had a 3-month multiple entry visa and was traveling on a diplomatic passport
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

What a lazy and sensationalist take from yet again a bottom tier zio propagandist. A political dispute over elections does not automatically mean a government is “falling apart.” By that logic, half the world’s democracies would be collapsing every election cycle. Complex political disagreements are one thing turning every incident into a doomsday headline is just clickbait masquerading as analysis.

@MarioNawfal This lying rat again. You’re clearly talking about something you don’t understand. At least take the time to learn the facts before confidently spreading nonsense.
As much is true, forceful removal is not the answer. Somalia has removed leaders by force before and often ended up with something worse. The real problem is the cycle of corruption, clan politics, and leaders who put themselves before the nation. Until governance and the Somali people come before clan interests, little will change. I’d rather see us focus on rebuilding institutions and maybe even reimagining the capital itself from Mogadishu.

While Somalis were dying looking for water. No government touched it. No one thought to create this. So I built it myself, for my people. https://t.co/v9gyqyOmpK
Israel is doing to Lebanon what they did to Gaza…
A FATHER AND SON KILLED FOR WALKING HOME.
They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.
Making serious accusations about election fraud requires evidence, not just assumptions and political talking points. Smearing an entire electoral process and millions of voters based on isolated clips or unverified claims is irresponsible. If there is credible evidence, present it and let it be investigated. Otherwise, this looks more like an attempt to delegitimize the outcome before the facts are even established.
