It is painful when the continent you love turns its back on you. But football solidarity did not disappear for no reason. Africans have always cheered for each other until the hospitality was met with hostility, until immigrants were attacked in the streets, until children were turned away from clinics. You cannot ask for continental love while your own government and citizens refuse to follow the rule of law in handling immigration. Violence is not law enforcement. Stop the hate, protect human dignity, and Africa will cheer for you again. Until then, the silence or the cheers for Mexico are not hate; they are consequences.
