The bodies of three Egyptian nationals were recovered from a river near the Croatian capital of Zagreb on Tuesday, 22 July, Croatian police said. The men had been reported missing two days earlier after they disappeared while swimming in the Sava River, a waterway known for strong currents in the area near Zagreb. According to a police statement, the three were last seen on Sunday by a friend before they went for a swim. After their disappearance was reported, police, firefighters, and rescue teams launched an intensive search operation. Two bodies were recovered by police on Tuesday, while firefighters later found and retrieved the third victim. The identities of the victims have not yet been officially released by authorities. Croatian media reports indicated that the youngest man, aged 21, entered the river first and may not have been aware of the dangerous currents at that location. When he began to drown, his two companions, aged 31 and 46, jumped into the river in an attempt to rescue him, but all three were swept away by the current. A resident quoted by Croatian media said the victims were believed toContinue reading "Three Egyptian Nationals Found Dead After River Accident Near Zagreb"

In the Egyptian national team’s dressing room, the players are celebrating. Shirts are strewn across the floor, accompanying shoes, socks, and golden confetti still hanging in the air. Quickly, the camera pans toward a bin, in which, sitting amongst various items of rubbish, is the FIFA World Cup trophy. Hit by a used water bottle chucked unceremoniously into the bin, the trophy foregrounds the appearance of the word toz, written in Arabic. Meaning ‘whatever’, or ‘who cares’, the word exemplifies the way in which Egyptian fans have transformed feelings of injustice into a celebration, a rejection of the World Cup’s absurdity. The absurdity, according to fans, was writ large in Egypt’s last game against Argentina. After suffering a 3-2 loss to the South American side on 7 July, widespread accusations of injustice spread rapidly, in Egypt and internationally. In an emotional post-match interview, the Egyptian footballer Mostafa Ziko explained, “we were wronged today, everyone saw it”. In Britain, former England player Alan Shearer agreed, saying, “I think it’s utter and complete b******”. Both were referring to the disallowing of Egypt’s spectacular goal in the 58th minute following VAR review, inContinue reading "Why Egypt Threw the World Cup Trophy in the Bin"
