There were angry clashes at funeral of the 35-year-old on Friday in his home town of Haffouz, local media reported.

Issaoui had been accused of terrorism by police officers after he complained that he was unable to buy bananas for less than 10 dinars ($3.30; £2.66) a kilogram, double the price set by the government, reports say.

In a Facebook post, the footballer had written: "For a dispute with someone selling bananas at 10 dinars, I get accused of terrorism at the police station. Terrorism for a complaint about bananas... I have no more energy. Let the police state know that the sentence will be executed today."

In protest, Issaoui burned himself to death.

This is exactly the results the NWO/One World Government wants. For people to become so despondent that they will look to them for a return to sanity. Of course I doubt that is what they will get. They will get a world that they keep talking about, where you will have nothing. they think you will be happy because the madness will be lessened..

We must fight back.
