Mikel Arteta: I convinced Granit Xhaka to stay at Arsenal

By

Arteta: "[Xhaka] thought about it, he had a very positive response afterwards, and I think he changed his mind.



A news from  Sky sports confirm that Granit Xhaka is willing to change his mind after the Arsenal head coach Arteta convinced him about his future at Arsenal, with the midfielder now poised to stay at the club. 
Xhaka looked set to be on his way out of the Emirates after his outburst at fans who booed him off the pitch during their clash against Crystal Palace in October, in an incident which cost him his captaincy.
The midfielder's agent even claimed he agreed terms with Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin in December, but the Arsenal head coach has revealed that the pair held positive talks about the Swiss international's future.
"The first message for him was that I wanted to understand how he was feeling, why he was feeling that way," Arteta said

"I wanted him to hear from me my opinion on him, and that I was ready to support him and that I was ready to push the club to be supportive of him too, because I thought he could be a really, really good player for us and he could enjoy playing under me in this football club.  "I tried to convince him that way. He thought about it, he had a very positive response afterwards, and I think he changed his mind."  The incident in October sparked a controversial few months for Xhaka, who wrote a letter to Arsenal fans explaining how he and his family had been targeted on social media, which had seen him reach a "boiling point" on the Emirates pitch.
Granit Xhaka looks set to stay at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta after a controversial few months But according to Arteta, it is almost impossible to avoid such incidents and it is not unusual to see animosity and divides between players and fans. "It's very common now," said Arteta. "Every club has its own issues. Some things come within the club, some within the media, some from social media. "It's very difficult nowadays to have one full year where everything is perfect. It's the environment, we have to deal with that and hopefully in a few months nobody remembers those issues. "Of course it's not ideal when players respond and it creates an instability. So as much as we can avoid it, the better."

Worst advice people still gives

By
Be yourself. This rather popular advice has damaged the quality of my life for a long time until I realized that it doesn’t work and is rather abstract Everyone, left and right, romanticizes this “ be yourself”  idea. But, tell me, how can you give a 13-year old teenager the advice “ be yourself” ? Half the world doesn’t know themselves, and you expect teenagers to “ be themselves ”? I was “ myself ” for some time. I jumped around cold people, I joked with serious people and then I realized human relationships don’t work that way. Many people will not understand you. With those kinds of people, you don’t be yourself. You follow social skills, unless you want to be hated by 99% of the world. You  can’t  be yourself with people who don’t understand humor. You just  can’t  tell everyone about ideas which they will abhor. Not everyone is you and you can’t be you with everyone. Unless, of course, if you don’t mind being hated by almost everyone you...

Ethiopia applauded for its progressive refugee integration law

By
The Ethopia parliament has adopted revisions to its existing refugee law, making it one of the most progressive refugee policies in Africa. The revised framework strives for refugee integration, allowing refugees to obtain work permits, access primary education, obtain drivers’ licenses, national financial services such as banking among others. Low and middle income countries like Ethiopia host 85% of the global refugee population. Refugee compacts or ‘jobs compacts’ or Economic Opportunities Programs are agreements between donors and governments that host refugees to mitigate the expenses for their already struggling economies. These grants, concessional loans and other incentives are used to stimulate economic development and enable host countries to provide basic services to refugees and local populations. As the second-largest refugee-hosting country in Africa, Ethiopia is currently the host of over 900,000 refugees mainly from neighbouring South Sudan...
