#Ahlawy @AlAhly @AlAhlyEnglish fans - I try to stand for what is right in African football. When the problem was between @WACofficiel v #Taraji @ESTunis1919 @EsperanceSTunis in 2019, I made my professional views clear, because the dignity of African football was at stake.
Many fans of @WACofficiel have disliked me intensely since 2019, because of the positions I took. Some even went as far as racially abusing me. But despite that, I have nothing but respect for the country of #Morocco and its people.
I was a guest of the @FRMFOFFICIEL in 2020. I spent time with the federation president and the @WACofficiel President. They were excellent hosts. But we had robust conversations concerning #Morocco’s controversial influence and behaviour in CAF. insideworldfootball.com/2020/02/04/int…
In short - even though I’ve put up a long thread to say it 😄- my positions simply concern what is right, fair and ethical, no matter who is involved. If #Taraji had been wrong in 2019, I would have criticised them. And if @AlAhly were wrong now, I would have done the same.
But #Taraji @ESTunis1919 were right then, just as @AlAhly are being unjustly treated now. And whenever a Moroccan club - or any other African club - is treated unjustly by @CAF_Online I will stand for what is professionally and ethically right. Africa Oye!
