On a road in northwestern Algeria, a team bus carrying the players and staff of Mouloudia El Bayadh overturned near Sougueur, ending the lives of goalkeeper Zakaria Bouziani, 27, and assistant coach Khalid Muftah before they could reach their destination. What began as an ordinary journey to a league fixture became a moment of national mourning, reminding us that sport — for all its passion and pageantry — is carried on the shoulders of fragile, mortal lives. Algeria paused its football calendar in grief, and a president offered words where none feel sufficient.
