Moral collapse of Algeria in Khartoum
After end of the bad and negative events which happened in Sudan before, during and after the football match between Egypt and Algeria, the time has come now to purify this unhealthy climate which negatively affected relations between the two Arab-African-Muslim countries.
What has taken place in Khartoum reflects prior intentions to practice these criminal aggressions suffered by the Egyptian fans. Some reports stated that the Algerian government allowed the Algerian gangs and criminals to travel to Khartoum and purchase white weapons to be used in attacking the Egyptian fans, including women, children and elderly, in streets and buses carrying them from stadium to the airport.
Such brutal events indicate that the Algerian fans know nothing about the cultural and moral values as well as sport behaviors. These events came as a result of irresponsible statements made by some Algerian media outlets and officials which aimed to transfer the match into a military battle.
However, I hoped to cancel this match which resulted in heavy losses for the nature of historical brotherly relations between the two peoples. Also, I have to appreciate the efforts exerted by the Egyptian civil aviation authorities to organize and ensure safe transportation of Egypt's fans from Khartoum to Cairo.
Finally, there is no way to cry over the spilt milk. We congratulate the Algerian fans for their barbaric behaviors and say sorry for the bad luck which faced our national team and wait for the FIFA decision in face of this Algerian moral collapse which opposes all sport traditions and values.
