I bet that the team will be mostly 30 and 40 years old refugees, competing in the category of age of Under 18...

South Sudan isn't a real country. It is not universally recognized.

All these refugees came to be from folly policies of "nation-building" that turned their countries into war-zones or failed states.

I find it funny in the very (political) "non-political" IOC they would do this. But this isn't about drawing attention to the folly policies that lead these athletes to wear non-name Nike gear with no coat of arms on it. They will hammer in the the refugee narrative with no context to how these 10 folks go to their current positions.

It is the same way the IOC via very (political) "non-political" means parades a Palestine team each Olympic games. It is all 'campfire songs' and kumbaya but it is subtle Psy-ops to make people think the Palestine people have a legitimate country.

South Sudan deserves to be nuked. Along with Chad, Niger and all those other desert Sahel trash African nations who don't produce anything except have 7 kids per woman and beg other nations for aid.

90% of "Ethiopian Refugees" are South Sudanese & Somalis who enter Ethiopia illegally and then claim to be Ethiopians oppressed by the "racist Northern Orthodox Christian elite" who rule the country.

I get that Anabasis is from Ethiopia, but he could have phrased this better to avoid getting banned.

He was not banned for that, but, yes, i find that post distatesful.

He was banned for outright insulting Forney (due to some tweet i believe), and Cappy (I do not know why)

It goes further than that. He was making trouble for Forney off line:
