Ngannou questions why media cares about Ukraine more than African refugees: ‘Is it because these bodies are not white?’

Francis Ngannou has had enough when it comes to Western hypocrisy surrounding the treatment of refugees.

The UFC heavyweight champion shared a disturbing set of videos on Instagram of African refugees who were injured or killed recently while trying to seek out a better life in Europe. The incident took place in Ceuta, Spain when 2000 migrants attempted to jump the fence, which resulted in clashes with the authorities. Between 23 and 37 migrants died.

The post was accompanied by an emotional caption in which Ngannou appealed to his fans to understand the plight of refugees like him and to do better.
