But to claim deaths occurred where there were none, as Osama points out in his article, is an incredibly reckless piece of falsification given the anger it was bound to incite. As for Ahmed, I think his original comment was meant in irony - he's been teasing me about my 'trouble-making' and 'rebellious' journalism for a long time.

I believe Al Chorouk's false reporting and lies played an important role in fuming Algerian fans.

I would have agreed if we would have won. You see the problem here is that we actually lost the game and then got harrassed by algerians. Doesn't make much sense. I think the problem must be bigger than just football. Via Facebook I don’t agree. I would have agreed if we would have won.

Something in that direction please.

Echorouk's false reporting follows numerous false reports from Egyptian newspaper and talk shows so it's unclear if the violence in Khartoum would've been avoided.
