Saudi Prince blames African pilgrims for Mecca stampede that killed hundreds

[Hyperactive]

there is some truth what he said. they are not trained and use power and push people to get ahead/front.

[Turbulence]

Whether what he said is true or not the fact he feels he needs to point out that Africans were mainly responsible for this tragedy means this so called prince is a rotten despicable individual.

Well, he's idiot but it's common in other countries to point out the colour without purpose.

Blame is on filthy saudi arabia goverment.. here the video when the stampede started.. saudi shayaadiin shabaq ayey ku xireen xujaajiinta ka dibna albaab yar oo 10 meter aan dhameeyn ayey fureeen ,ka dibna millions of people ayey yiraahdeen soo gala that small opening door..

watch the video.. and see how unprofessional animals are saudi arabians... this is a murder commited by saudi goverment..

The Saudis spend a lot of money on organizing the Haj { Allah reward them for it } laakiin he /they should not have said that

He should have gone after the Iranians , if he was half as noble as I am

The Saudi Arabian prince is wrong to blame one section of the Muslims who are fulfilling their religious duties, but I've seen older Somalis who went to the Hajj complaining about the Muslims from West Africa. They are tall, much more stronger than the other Muslims from other nationalities and go as a group. I heard that complaint year after year from Somalis who went to the Hajj. If you don't believe me, talk to elders in your family who fulfilled this important religious duty.

AHUn for those who died.

First of its qadir. It happened thats it. But to blame it on africans specificaly than to say the people were unorganised. Then thats is wrong. Saudis reaĺly need pr lessons

[Hyperactive]

gergiroor, i can confirm that. they are stronger and bigger and they move in groups and fast. how many times i was pushed by huge west africans.

egyptians also act rough and push people. best hojaaj are maleysian and indonisian. very organized and know what to do.

Saudis are the scam of the earth, go to
to the government owned website Alarabiya
and see all the excuses they put to polish their image.
they didn;'t even mentioned how the vip convo closed the road.
They blame Iranian pilgrimares!

[SultanOrder]

It comes down to several factors.

1. Communication, they assign soldiers who are not well trained to handle situations, the soldiers don't speak any language other than Arabic, so they can yell as much as they want but no one understands them.

2. The exits are not clear and visible and are only in three languages: English, Arabic, and sub-continenent.

3. They close paths when there are vip's, which already makes a bad situation worse.

[SultanOrder]

Btw subcontinent people push a lot as well.

[waayeel101]

it's not good thing to blame only africans or others before the investigation. but there some true about what that specially western africans and egyptian use power.

saudi gov should do better to manage hajj and umrah.

[jamal9]

so are you saying south somalis don't push? give me a break.

[MrSinister]

what do you expect from the house of saud? they are absolute scum

[Rabshoole]

Whats more ignorant than this prince is the semi-retards who buy into this bs while bypassing the very fact he's referring too
