After the football match between Algeria and Burkina Faso, some Algerian supporters made racist remarks about the Burkinabé team on social media, calling them “monkeys,” “niggers,” or “banana eaters.” This behavior reflects a disturbing trend of anti-black racism in some North African countries. The incident follows similar reports of racism in Morocco, where a young Senegalese man was murdered over a bus seat. The actions of these fans highlight the persistence of racism, even within the African continent. The article calls for measures to be taken by football authorities to address and prevent such behavior in the future.
