@GiantSnowman From above:
 * koorasudan.net (title is "Sudanese Football brings the Mars star out of his silence--Captain Bashir: [quote]") is a Q&A with a brief few sentences of unencyclopedic intro (e.g. "as a result of his brilliance, the eyes of the summit spotted him and negotiations began with him."), . sudanfirst.com 1 ("Confirmation of the exclusivity of (Sudan First)... Al Hilal officially negotiates with Captain Bashir") is a routine transaction announcement mostly serving to promote the premier insider status of Sudan First, . kooora.com ("Al-Merreikh Sudan concludes two new deals") is an utterly routine transfer announcement, . bajnews.com ("Al-Merreikh signs a contract with Captain Bashir for three years") is another 3-sentence transaction announcement, . cover-sd.com 1 ("Captain Bashir: My Mars, ask about the stars of hope, and I am ready to pay the Mars tax") reposts an interview from red-castle.net, seemingly not an independent source, . cover-sd.com 2 (title is "Captain Bashir: We respect Al-Merreikh and strive to win") has one sentence of coverage, the rest are quotes from him, . medameek.com ("Captain Bashir: My Mars, ask about the stars of hope, and I am ready to pay the Mars tax") is literally the same as cover-sd.com 1, . sudanfirst.com 2 is a Q&A with one sentence of independent secondary intro on him, .
