Ghana’s Black Satellites Getting Ready For 2015 African Youth Championships

Their preparations have been flying quite under the radar but Ghana’s U-20 Men’s football team are currently in Senegal getting ready to take on the rest of the continent.

The Black Satellites have had a stunning record in recent years, and would be hoping to keep that run intact at these championships. To that end, it helps that they have one of the most decorated youth level coaches in the world.

Sellas Tetteh is that man, having led the side to African and World Cup glory in 2009. After a brief hiatus, he returned to lead the same side to the world cup semi finals in 2013, having earlier finished 2nd at the 2013 African championships. Having made the final in both appearances, he would be expected to take the team at least that far this time around as well.

The Black Satellites qualified with a comfortable 4-1 aggregate win over Gabon last August, sealing their place at this tourney. The team was domiciled in Turkey for the past fortnight, getting ready for an onslaught on the tournament they haven’t won since 2009.

If you’re even remotely familiar with Islamic Sharia law this would not really come as a surprise to you, as it is one of the sources of the most brutal and inexplicable laws that any group of people willingly subject themselves to.

Religion propagates many vices that any civilised society would not indulge in. The Christian god is a misogynistic, genocidal maniac; Islam’s Allah is not much different. The oppression and degradation of women in the supposed holy texts is troubling, and whilst Christianity has somewhat moved from that (it’s more subtle now), adherents to Islam’s Sharia law remain stuck in the backwards mentality imposed by their religion.

Read this story and I dare you to come up with a different conclusion. A 19 year old Saudi woman who was gang raped by 7 men back in 2006, has been sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail for ‘indecency and speaking to the press’.
