KUALA LUMPUR: Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah has another accolade to himself after he was featured on one of six covers of the Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Fondly known as Mo, Salah was joined on the special covers by musician Taylor Swift, actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, journalist Gayle King, US politician Nancy Pelosi and actress Sandra Oh.
The 26-year-old forward who has been hitting the back of the net on regular basis in his first two season in the Premier League, called upon men in his country and in the Muslim world to treat women with more respect while emphasising the importance of women’s equality.
In an interview with the magazine’s journalist Dan Stewart, Salah said “I think we need to change the way we treat women in our culture. It’s not optional.”
He attributed “his culture and in the Middle East” which had changed the way he thought about gender relations. Salah said he support women more than he did before because he feel that women deserve more than what men give them now.
Liverpool fan and host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, who wrote a short essay on Salah in the magazine, described the star man as a better human being then he is a football player. Oliver added that Salah is one of the best football players in the world.
“You'd be hard-pressed to find a professional athlete in any sport less affected by their success or status than Mo, which is incredible because I can't imagine the kind of pressure that comes with the intensity of adoration he receives.
“Mo is an iconic figure for Egyptians, Scousers and Muslims the world over, and yet he always comes across as a humble, thoughtful, funny man who isn't taking any of this too seriously,” said the English comedian.
Other sports icons to be featured in the magazine’s list are NBA star LeBron James, golfer Tiger Woods, US soccer star Alex Morgan, tennis player Naomi Osaka, golfer and pro gamer 'Ninja' Richard Tyler Blevins and South African middle distance runner Caster Semenya.
Salah will lead his team on Thursday morning (3am Malaysian time, subject to change) when they face Portugese side FC Porto in the second-leg of the Champions League quarter-final match at Estádio do Dragão in Porto, Portugal.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
