The lawyer Omar Mehdi considers the act could have been excused if perpetrated by immature and zealous youngsters “ but coming from lawyers who are supposed to be aware of the international laws and the countries liberties as well as the limits that could be crossed, let me tell you that this is extremely dangerous and we have witnessed an unprecedented act in the Arab and western nations’ history alike”.

He went on saying that his union has already denounced the barbarous acts perpetrated by the Egyptians before the match in Khartoum “ at the very moment where the Algeria squad was attacked by stones in Cairo, we have considered it as a violation against the Algerian flag and the country’s sovereignty because the national team represents the Algerian flag”.
