Togolese Soccer Team Returns Home After Angola Attack
Soccer Betting- Togo’s national soccer squad returned home from the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Angola late yesterday following an attack by gunmen on the team bus that killed three people.
The players arrived in Lome, the capital, on board a government-chartered plane that had been sent to the northern Angolan province of Cabinda, the Togolese government said on its Web site. Prime Minister Gilbert Foussoun Houngbo had told the team to come home after the shootings.
The team bus came under machine-gun fire on Jan. 8 just after it had crossed the border from the Republic of Congo into Cabinda. The Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda, Angola’s main separatist group, claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed the driver, Togo’s assistant coach and the squad’s press officer. Togo’s reserve goalkeeper, Kodjovi Obilale, is recovering after being flown to Johannesburg, South Africa, where he had emergency surgery.
“The medical team is satisfied with the progress of Mr. Obilale,” Netcare Ltd., operator of the Milpark Hospital, said in a statement handed to reporters today. “He will however remain in the trauma intensive care unit until he is fully out of danger.”
Obilale was admitted to the hospital on Jan. 9 with a bullet wound in his lower back. He will remain on a ventilator for the “next couple of days,” Ken Boffard, who assisted in the surgery on Obilale, told reporters today.
Guerilla War
Cabindan separatists, led by FLEC, have been fighting a secessionist guerrilla war since Angola became independent from Portugal in 1975. The province, which is situated between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo on Africa’s west coast, is physically separate from Angola. It generates most of the 1.9 million barrels of oil a day that is pumped in Angola, Africa’s second-biggest crude producer after Nigeria.
Angola has arrested two suspects in connection with the attack, Agence France-Presse said, citing state media.
South African President Jacob Zuma said the attack in Angola had “no bearing” on the soccer World Cup that his country will host in June and July. Zuma traveled to Angola yesterday to attend the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
Questions raised over the safety of this year’s soccer World Cup in South Africa after the attack in Angola reflect “double standards,” Danny Jordaan, head of the organizing committee for the event, said, according to the Johannesburg- based Business Day newspaper.
“Explain Ourselves”
“It seems there is an agenda to give the impression that South Africa cannot host this world cup,” the Johannesburg- based newspaper quoted Jordaan as saying. “Why are we being asked to explain ourselves when the incident took place in another country thousands of kilometers away?”
Questions weren’t raised about the security of sporting events in Europe after terrorist attacks in London and in other cities on the continent, he said, according to the newspaper.
Togo was scheduled to play its first Cup game today against Ghana in Group B. Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso are the other teams in the group. Togo has asked the Confederation of African Football if it can rejoin the tournament after a three-day mourning period, Reuters said, citing Christophe Tchao, Togo’s sports minister.
Angola and Mali opened the tournament with a 4-4 draw in the capital, Luanda yesterday after the host blew a 4-0 lead with 25 minutes remaining.

Resting Place $16 A PERSONAL RETREAT. We’ve never needed it more. We run from one place to the next – from meetings and appointments to our kids’ soccer practice, from work to class to choir rehearsal, from the grocery store to small group – and then drop into bed later than we hoped, exhausted and dreading the morning. We want to slow down but don’t know how and don’t really believe that we can. And often, the idea of a personal retreat – time for solitude and silence – makes us feel as anxious as all our frenzied rushing. What in the world would we do with an hour, an afternoon or (gulp!) a whole day of solitude with God? But what is the cost of our frantic pace? What are we missing by not slowing down for reflection and meditation on Scripture? What kind of toll does our anxious running take on those around us – and, even more deeply, on our own soul? In Resting Place, retreat speaker Jane Rubietta addresses soul matters with retreat topics such as: dealing with our fear of abandonment; wrestling with discontent; overcoming our attempts to control others; fulfilling our deep desire to be loved Spiritual retreats help us enter Psalm 23 rest, a place of true rest and trust in our loving, gentle Shepherd. With Scripture to meditate on, quotes to contemplate, questions, prayer and journaling ideas, and creative exercises, Resting Place leads us to and through times of rest. The silence and solitude will follow us into our everyday world as we allow Jesus to guide, comfort and restore us. Come to the Shepherd and find the true rest your soul longs for. |
