I have to say i have not seen a football match become so tense as the football match between Egypt and Algeria. There has been exchange of fire in the media and on the internet between the two countries before Cairo match, stone throwing on vans carrying players and fans destroying airlines offices.
All this made officials in Khartoum on their tip toes. 15,000 police officer is going to be deployed for the match, the whole state of Khartoum is going to be on high alert.
Everyone knows where the Egyptian and Algeria are standing, but what about Sudanese? While Algeria chose Tunisia, Egypt choice was on Khartoum. basically for logistic reasons.
When it come to Egypt, Sudanese are divided. some keep repeating the old them “one valley, one nation” but others are doubtful and skeptic about everything Egyptian. Egypt in fact occupied Sudan with British partnership. currently Egypt is occupying Sudanese territories which it claim it was never a Sudanese territory before. There was even clashes between the two side force in Halaeb Triangle in north east of Sudan.
But still, Egyptian expect Sudanese to support them. Well, not me.
