Reminder that as the world watches the world cup, the actual world is burning.
Gaza is still being wiped out, with even the Egyptian representative who was organizing the watch parties murdered by Israel in what appears to be a sick form of retaliation for the coach of the national team holding up the flag and cause of Palestine at the world cup. Lebanon is still under attack and an expanding occupation. And another round of stupidity and recklessness of the Iran war is now going to lead to even more casualties. All along, so many of the African nations, even if represented on the field, carry the weight of generations of exploitation.
Just be careful not to let the spectacle make you forget the suffering, the silenced, and the systems that keep crushing them.
May Allah keep our hearts awake, our eyes open, and our actions guided. May He protect the innocent and oppressed all around, and make an example of their oppressors. Ameen
Today,the President has officially written to the Senate to seek for the repeal of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.A nation deeply soaked and focused on politics and elections may not be interested in this.But there is the need for interest,conversations and contributions to the new bill ahead.
🇪🇬 A beautiful goodbye for Egypt’s national team.
The hotel staff where the team stayed gave them a special farewell, showing just how much of an impression they left during their time there.

المذيع الامريكي الشهير #جيمي_كيميل يصف ماحدث في مبارة مصر بانه #سرقة_بنكية ويعلن عن مقاطعته لبقية المباريات ، كما يذكر رأي تيري هنري وجوزيه مورينيو الي وصفوا الاحداث بأنها " سرقة في وضح النهار "
🚨 Virgil van Dijk on the controversy during the Egypt vs Argentina game:
🗣️: “I watched the game and, honestly, all I could do was laugh because it brought back memories from the 2022 World Cup. We went through something very similar, but back then it felt like we were the only ones talking about it.
This time, the Egypt players and their coach spoke out immediately, and I’m actually glad they did. Sometimes people only pay attention when more voices are involved.
Whether you support Egypt or Argentina doesn’t matter. Football should always be decided by what happens on the pitch, not by controversies that leave everyone questioning the result. Hopefully this opens people’s eyes because the whole football world saw what happened.”
آمریکا هنوز یاد نگرفته است که زورگویی و بدعهدی دیگر بیهزینه نیست. شفاف بگویم: بزنید، میخورید.
دست و پای بیهوده نزنید که بیشتر فرو خواهید رفت: تنگه هرمز، فقط با «ترتیبات ایرانی» باز میشود نه با تهدیدات آمریکایی.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan condemned what he described as global silence over Gaza, saying the world reacts to animal suffering while thousands of Palestinians, including children and women, are killed and forced to live in tents amid ongoing Israeli attacks.
🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran’s FM Araghchi says calling Iran’s people derogatory names does not make the country any smaller.
He framed Iranians as civilized, cultured, and guided by strong moral values, but made the sharper point clear: Tehran says it will not answer vulgarity with vulgarity.
It will answer with action.

🚨🗣️🇪🇬Egyptian football Manager Hossam:
“I’ll speak my mind regardless of the consequences. This match was clearly rigged, and the whole world saw it.”
“And one more thing—if they want Argentina to win so badly, why invite everyone else to compete?”
🗣️ @AlanShearer: “It think it’s utter and complete bollocks.”
🗣️ @MicahRichards: “It was a foul though -“
Don’t mention ‘clear and obvious’ infront of Alan 🤬😅
Egypt's football federation has asked Fifa to remove the referees who oversaw its World Cup last-16 defeat to Argentina. It says controversial decisions and VAR errors cost the team a place in the quarter-finals. https://t.co/VdhOGTBOLn
@omar_dddg It's a shame that Luis continue to happen. Canceled this goal and allow a foul on Mo Salah that leads to Argentina goal stayed is a fraud on FIFA
