A blurred image of Souleymane Doukara, on the run from his own identity* *to any lawyers: this is a metaphor

โ€œAll units converge on point Alpha, over.โ€ Dark black boots thunder against burning Mauritanian sand. โ€œCareful, officers, this guy isnโ€™t one to play around with, weโ€™ve got a serious case of identity fraud and he needs to be detained, over.โ€ Helicopters circle the perimeter, blades cutting through the clear blue sky.

โ€œWhat is it boss? Who is this guy? Over.โ€ The doors of the villa blast open, soldiers piling in.

โ€œItโ€™s Souleymane Doukara, kid, he claims heโ€™s scored twenty goals in 23 games off the wing, over.โ€

โ€œYou fucking what, mate? Give, over!โ€

Souleymane, stop editing your Wikipedia page. Youโ€™re better than this.
