Francis Ngannou is not carrying his tongue in his pocket. The Cameroonian fighterThey rarely hesitate to share their views. The UFC’s heavyweight champion for the heavyweight division was forced to resign after the deaths of at least 23 African migrants trying to enter Spain’s Melilla (located within Morocco).
Francis Ngannou is sensitive to the fate of these migrants and puts himself in their shoes. In 2012, he left Cameroon to join France. He also spent several months sleeping in a forest of Morocco because he couldn’t find any smuggler. He was found a smuggler and was soon on the streets of Paris. This is also where his nickname, “The Predator”, is derived.
“People all over the world, fans and friends, please understand my pain at witnessing this. I can’t help but feel that I might have lost everything nine years ago in an effort to make a better living.He sympathizes with social networks.
Ngannou continues: “I know exactly where this is. It is important to realize that I wouldn’t have tried this thing if I didn’t. I wouldn’t have been a world champ. I was fortunate. That was it.
I am sorry that this is something I cannot witness. I shared a part of my story with @joeroganI am reminded of how I could have been one of these people 9 years ago. pic.twitter.com/RgUrdqPtNP

Leaders are singled out
Francis Ngannou also said that he does no understand the silence surrounding these dramas.Nowadays,denounces the Cameroonian, thoseThere are people who live there that are subject to the most brutal and inhumane treatment. I disagree that it is something that everyone talks about, I disagree that they blame others and take responsibility for their actions. I don’t think it’s true that Western media don’t report it.”
Francis Ngannou, in conclusion, directly challenges African leaders. He urges them to show more commitment. He asks: “How can our own leaders see this over and over again and not stand up for their people? When will we finally say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! What will it take for us to stop being treated like this? What was it that we did wrong to deserve this treatment. Aren’t we all human enough for each other? Why shouldn’t we all exist on the same planet as each other? Why is it a crime to leave your family in order to find work? Is it possible to survive a criminal offense? These acts of barbarism towards our people will be punished when? When will they stop? I need answers.”
