Dictatorships are loving the sports-washing strategy:
Le #Rwanda poursuit sa stratégie de promotion de son image à l'international à travers le sport. Le pays est devenu le nouveau sponsor principal d'Aston Villa, pensionnaire de la Premier League anglaise, grâce à la marque Visit Rwanda, désormais affichée sur le devant des maillots du club. Ce partenariat, présenté comme stratégique par les deux parties, vise à renforcer la visibilité du Rwanda comme destination touristique et d'investissement sur la scène mondiale.
A truly impressive body of work, showing incredible tenacity, skill and staying power 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

🚨 Understand there’s NO buy back clause for Real Madrid in Víctor Muñoz to Liverpool deal.
Real have right of first refusal in case of future proposals (and received €20m from Osasuna), but even in that case the player has final say.
Muñoz, 100% #LFC player.
