The article discusses the ongoing protests by Arsenal fans regarding the club's sponsorship deal with Visit Rwanda amidst rising violence linked to Rwanda's alleged involvement. Meanwhile, Visit Rwanda has secured a new sponsorship deal with Atletico Madrid for the upcoming seasons. Critics worry that Arsenal's deal is misaligned with the club's values, prompting calls for termination and protests from fans, who were joined by PSG supporters. A Rwanda government spokesperson defended their partnerships despite international controversies bridging the politics of sports and human rights.
"I stand with human rights and am not with this kind of sponsor," PSG fan Chakib told BBC Sport Africa. "We are rivals in football but we are brothers to defend human rights."
Despite assertions from both the United Nations and United States, Rwanda has denied supporting the M23. A section of Arsenal's support has formed a group named Gunners for Peace and are calling on the Premier League club not to renew its deal with Visit Rwanda as the partnership does not fit the club's 'values and standards'."
