Ecstatic Ivory Coast fans celebrate with team during Afcon victory parade

Thousands of jubilant Ivory Coast supporters took to Abidjan’s city streets on Monday to celebrate the country’s Africa Cup of Nations victory. Fans blew whistles, sung and chanted as they waited to see the team pass through the city. The Elephants defeated Nigeria 2-1 in Sunday’s Afcon final to claim the country’s third title after wins in 1992 and 2015. It set off unbridled celebrations that lasted through the night in Abidjan and beyond. Subscribe to Guardian News on RUclips ► bit.ly/guardianwiressub

No mass shooting ,no craziness,that’s how people in Africa celebrate a victory. We can’t say the same about a certain country that likes to police and lecture others,while ignoring litany of problems in their own backyard.
