Gumi Reacts As 40 People Were Reportedly Killed In US Military Operation Linked To Maduro’s Arrest

Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmed Gumi has commented on an allegation shared on social media following a post made by an Instagram user concerning a reported United States military operation.

The reaction was posted on Gumi’s official Facebook page after the Instagram user claimed that “40 people were murdered by the United States military as Maduro was captured, including many civilians. That includes an 80 year old woman, killed by shrapnel. You haven’t heard about it, because you don’t value non-western life.” The statement accused Western audiences of ignoring civilian casualties outside their regions, prompting discussion among social media users.

Responding to the allegation, Sheikh Gumi wrote on Facebook: “‘Other people’ are not humans.” The brief remark drew attention online, with readers debating its meaning and context. Some users interpreted the statement as a criticism of what they described as selective concern for human life, while others viewed it as inappropriate given the seriousness of the allegation.

Gumi, who is known for commenting on social, religious, and political issues, has previously drawn public attention for his views expressed both offline and on social media. His response in this case added to wider conversations about international conflicts, media attention, and perceived global double standards.
