A distinction must be made between Issa Hayatou and the organization he leads

In the ongoing drama with Confederation of African Football (CAF) President Issa Hayatou’s corruption allegations, we should be careful to distinguish between Hayatou and the organization he leads, Yasser Ayoub writes in Al Masry Al Youm. While Hayatou may ultimately be proven to have engaged in less-than-honorable activities, the organization as a whole has supported Egyptian football time and again, including honoring Al Ahly Club for being the best African team, Ayoub says. In any case, we might not have to worry ourselves with the distinction for much longer, as CAF is set to hold its elections for a new president today.
