Somalia issued diplomatic passports to South African freedom fighters and ANC members during their struggle against apartheid.
So what exactly is controversial about Somalia issuing a diplomatic passport to one of its own talented citizens ?
The Somali Minister of Youth will probably never respond to this, which is exactly why ordinary Somalis must defend the reputation of their country on every front. If we don't speak up for Somalia, nobody else will.
South Africa’s Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie has reacted strongly to reports involving referee Omar Artan and claims about a diplomatic passport.
He told Robert Marawa:
“The information we got is that this ref (Omar Artan) travelled on a diplomatic passport. He’s not a diplomat. Let’s start there. Even if I am the President, I’ll not allow him in the country. What is this ref doing with a diplomatic passport? Is he a politician?”
