Salatiel Argueta :

my cousin who never talks about books randomly sent me book The Secret Side of Our Existence by Victor Hale and just said “read this.” no explanation or anything. i finished it in a couple days and now i see why he didn’t try to summarize it over text. some things are just easier to understand once you read them yourself you must read this book. it will change your life

Hon Jesbille :

A diplomatic passport should be respected regardless of visa-related issues. The matter concerning Omar Artan, a Somali citizen and holder of a diplomatic passport, should be addressed immediately through diplomatic channels. The United States Ambassador to Somalia in Mogadishu should work to resolve this issue without delay. Failure to do so may lead to calls for a review of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Respect for diplomatic status and international protocols is essential in maintaining strong bilateral relations.

That's unfair treatment and human rights violation

Rasmii💫 :

This is honestly heartbreaking. He worked hard for years to reach this level and earned his place at the World Cup through his professionalism and dedication. This was a huge moment in his career, and it’s sad to see it taken away. I believe FIFA could have done more. The World Cup is supposed to unite people through football. Whether you agree or disagree with the decision, it’s disappointing that a professional selected for an international tournament was unable to participate. He deserved better, and so did the spirit of the game.
