Emiliano Sala was like a brother - Majeed Waris

FC Nantes striker Majeed Waris has revealed that the late Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash over the English Channel, was like a brother to him, and his death has deeply hurt all his teammates at Nantes. Sala was journeying from Nanes to his new club Cardiff when the crash occurred. Waris disclosed that he and Sala had a strong bond, and that the deceased was loved by all.

“Emiliano Sala was like a brother to us all, even though I only knew him six months ago. He is a person everyone loved.

“It all depends on us. You can always think of him while keeping your head up. This is our job. We must always give the best because there are fans who support us. We have to give everything for the club even if we can never forget Emiliano Sala.”

He also said Nantes's defeat to Nimes in the Ligue 1 was due to the team's mental weakness.

“The Nîmes match was completely different. Last Sunday, there was still a lot of emotion. Mentally, we have been weak. To lead 2 goals at the break and to lose 4-2 was unacceptable. Everyone can understand that it was a special day, emotionally speaking. In Caen, it was important to turn the tide.”

27-year-old Waris has scored four goals in 23 Ligue 1 games this season. Sala will be cremated today as he is laid to rest in his home country, Argentina.

The finger-cutting tradition of Indonesia's Dani tribe

The death of a loved one is always an extremely painful thing to bear, and people of different cultures grieve in diverse ways, some more unique than others. A typically unique way of grieving is that of the Dani (an Indonesian tribe). Finger-cutting is a fundamental part of grieving for women of the Dani tribe, and pertains to their women only. According to The Globe and Mail, an estimated 250,000 Dani tribe members live in a town named Wamena, in the extremely remote central highland area of Papua Province. Wamena is only accessible by plane. Upon the death of a loved one, the top joint of one of a woman's fingers would be amputated, and smear ashes and clay across their faces. Prior to amputation, a string would be firmly tied to the upper half of the woman's finger for 30 minutes, to cause numbness. This was to reduce the pain from amputating the tip. In most cases, the responsibility of cutting off the top joint of the finger is assigned to one of the woman's
