‘Tell us how he died': Salah criticises UEFA tribute to ‘Palestinian Pele'
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has criticised the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA)'s tribute to the late Suleiman Al-Obeid, known as the 'Palestinian Pele,' after European football's governing body failed to reference the circumstances surrounding his death this week. The Palestine Football Association said that Al-Obeid, 41, was killed by an Israeli attack on civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday. In a brief post on the social media platform X, UEFA called the former national team member 'a talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times'. Salah responded: 'Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?' Can you tell us how he died, where, and why? — Mohamed Salah (@MoSalah) August 9, 2025 UEFA was not immediately available to comment when contacted by the Reuters news agency. One of the Premier League's biggest stars, the 33-year-old Egyptian, Salah, has previously advocated for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza during the nearly two-year-long war. The United Nations says that more than 1,000 people have been killed near aid distribution sites and aid convoys in Gaza since the launch of the GHF, a United States- and Israel-backed aid distribution system, in late May.

Chad opposition leader, ex-PM sentenced to 20 years for inciting violence
Chad's former prime minister and opposition leader Succes Masra has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for disseminating racist and xenophobic messages that incited violence. Defence lawyer Kadjilembay Francis told reporters following Saturday's ruling at a court in the Chadian capital, N'Djamena, that Masra would appeal his sentence. 'He has just been subjected to ignominy and unworthy humiliation,' Francis said. Masra, who was prime minister between January and May last year, is the head of the Transformers party and a sharp critic of Mahamat Deby, Chad's current president. He was accused alongside 67 co-defendants, mostly from the same Ngambaye ethnic group, of causing a clash between herders and farmers in May in Logone Occidental, in the southwest of the central African country. The fighting left 35 people dead and six others injured. Masra has denied the charges against him, which include hate speech, xenophobia and having incited a massacre. Before leaving the courtroom on Saturday, he gave a message to his supporters: 'Stand firm.' Activists with his party said they would put out a 'special message' later in the day. The Ngambaye ethnic group enjoys wide popularity among the predominantly Christian and animist populations of the south, whose members feel marginalised by the largely Muslim-dominated authorities in N'Djamena. Masra left Chad after a bloody crackdown on his followers in 2022, only returning under an amnesty agreed in 2024. He faced off against Deby in that year's presidential election, which Deby won with more than 61 percent support. But Masra did not accept the results, claiming that the vote was rigged. He later agreed to serve as premier after signing a reconciliation deal with Deby. Masra has strongly opposed the military rulers who came to power in Chad in April 2021, after the death of Deby's father, Idriss Deby Itno, who had led the country for 30 years. Deby took power in 2021 and legitimised his presidency with a parliamentary election earlier this year, which was opposed by Masra and his party.

At least six Lebanese soldiers killed in explosion at arms depot: Military
CairocTypeface:> At least six Lebanese soldiers were killed in an explosion while dismantling munitions at an arms depot, the Lebanese military said on Saturday. Other personnel were injured in the blast, which occurred as an army unit was inspecting and dismantling the depot's contents in the southern city of Tyre, the military added in an online statement. The Lebanese state news agency NNA reported the explosion happened while an army engineering team was dismantling munitions left over from Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon. Cross-border fighting has flared between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement since the eruption of the Gaza war in October 2023, with the Iran-backed militia attacking Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians.
