TIME: What keeps you awake at night?
Meles Zenawi:... It's THE FEAR that the light which is beginning to flicker, the light of renewal, an Ethiopian renaissance, that this light might be dimmed by SOME BLOODY MISTAKE by SOMEONE, somewhere.

The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

@KMbappe A racist attack on Mbappé from a Paraguayan senator is more than an insult—it’s a reflection of the racism many Black Paraguayans and Black people across South America still face. My solidarity is with them, and with Mbappé for calling it out!
@piersmorgan Congrats man! Never seen an England team play with this level of aggressiveness! It was one of the greatest win for England. Deserved win✊🏿

@Am_Blujay The South African government should be ashamed of itself. The level of anarchism happening in SA is putting their countrys reputation on the line. This mob justice won't stop with immigrants; it will continue to be within South Africans. Wake up & do the right thing!
@MagaselaMzobe If you try to google before you post, you would have save yourself from the embarrassment of ignorance. Yes SA 🇿🇦 is one of the largest, but NOT the only one.
@RPZAhc@StateDept The same way Ethiopia did to Mandela. When he has no passport, Ethiopia provides him one , he needed military training, and Ethiopia gave him the training. When the immigrants are illegally living in SA show them some human decency & decorum & send them back to their country!
@RPZAhc@StateDept Many black African countries such as Ethiopia Tanzania etc contributed financially and in military training for South Africa to be freed from Apartheid. Sadly that's how South Africans paid back. 🤷🏾♂️
@MDSekwakweng@NativeChilld@Julius_S_Malema The same way Ethiopia did to Mandela. When he has no passport, Ethiopia provides him one , he needed military training, and Ethiopia gave him the training. When the immigrants are illegally living in SA show them some human decency & decorum & send them back to their country!
Omar Artan didn’t just make the #FIFAWorldCup, he made history as the first Somali referee to get there, and as #Africa’s best. That milestone stands no matter what. So sorry to see this, Omar. You reached the summit of your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change that. This won’t be the end of your story on the world stage. The world stands with you as one family, wishing you resilience now and many more major finals to come. Solidarity. #Somalia
Glorification? There was zero glory in my addiction. It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that. Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle. The cowards way out. The guilt. The shame. The hurt. The absolute misery of it. Yet here I am. And I am not alone. There are millions upon millions of us. We don’t all agree on politics or people or who we root for on Sunday. But we all have the shared experience of walking through that fire and surviving. I chose to live. That’s not a joke.
To see Spurs and Chelsea fans mocking Arsenal after the seasons they had is beyond parody. We’re the best team in England, and the second best team in Europe. You lot are global laughing stocks.
So pipe down, you wastrels. 🤣
