Leading African journalists have risen in unison to condemn the deliberate attempt by enemies of Qatar to distort facts and ‘manipulate journalists’ organisations in Africa to initiate a negative campaign against the 2022 FIFA World Cup which will be hosted by Qatar.
A statement issued after the African Journalists Leaders Conference in Accra, Ghana, delegates from
five regions of the continent, states as follows, “We, the delegates attending the African Journalists Leaders’ Conference under the auspices of the Federation of African Journalists (FAJ) and hosted by the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) have noted with dismay recent attempts by external elements from the United Arab Emirates who deliberately tried to manipulate journalists’ organisations in Africa to issue public statements or campaign against 2022 FIFA World Cup.”
