They fled an oppressive government in Guinea.

Only to possibly sent BACK to that oppressive government by a racist scumbag dictator and his cronies.

To a country that HE would love to deport Black Americans to if he could.

Massenpanik: Etliche Tote bei Fußballspiel in Guinea befürchtet

A new French film, “L’Histoire de Souleymane” (Souleymane’s Story) is reviewed in the latest edition of @thecontinent. Here’s what they thought of this story of a young Guinean man’s undocumented life in Paris.

“[Abou] Sangare’s emotional performance explores Souleymane’s vulnerabilities and anxieties as if they were his own. Perhaps it helped that the actor himself had only recently been granted a six-month temporary visa in France after living undocumented since 2017. He knew those anxieties intimately,” write Line Sidonie and Talla Mafotsing.
