Ghanaian international Kwame Kizito has stressed that Libya is not a safe place to play football.
The striker moved to Libyan club Al-Ittihad Tripoli in 2018 on the back of an outstanding spell with Ghana Premier League giants Accra Hearts of Oak.
After one season in the country, Kwame Kizito was offered a contract extension but he declined.
According to him, he could not stay in the country after all the horror he had witnessed due to the violence in that part of the African continent.
Now playing his football in Sweden with Falkengberg FF, the former Phobian says Libya is not a place to play football.
“Sweden is a perfect country. It is very nice, everyone is very helpful. It is not at all like in Libya. Libya is not a country to play football in”, the striker said in an interview with Football Channel.
Opening up on life in Libya, Kizito shared, “It was really bad. After the matches, you could see the fight. I was a foreigner so I definitely didn’t want to be involved. They were outside the arenas and fought. It’s crazy. After the matches, you have to be together and have a good time, but when it was over there could be fights and sometimes it was shooting. I decided not to go back to Libya. There is nothing good there”.
