Manchester City Manager Condemns Global Injustice


(MENAFN) Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed deep concern over the deaths of innocent people worldwide and urged individuals not to remain passive when faced with injustice.

He made these remarks during a press conference ahead of his team’s Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg clash against Newcastle United.

“Never in human history have we had everything so clearly in front of our eyes,” Guardiola stated. “The genocide in Palestine, what happened in Ukraine, in Russia, in Sudan – everywhere. This is our problem as human beings.”

The 55-year-old coach emphasized that the matter transcends political disputes or choosing sides, highlighting that safeguarding human life should always be the priority.

“It’s not only about Palestine. It’s about every cause that can make humanity better,” he added.

“People fleeing wars, leaving their countries, crossing the Mediterranean – don’t ask whether it’s right or wrong. Rescue them. When people are dying, you have to help.”

Guardiola also criticized the deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal authorities in Minneapolis last month, noting that the tragedy underscores the necessity of confronting injustice.

“Look what happened in the United States of America — Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed,” he said, describing the deaths as indefensible and questioning how such acts could ever be justified. “If something is wrong, go to court, sue, go to jail. That’s modern society,” he continued.

He concluded by reflecting on how painful it is to witness civilian suffering in a world that has seen significant technological and social advancement.
