As part of a national campaign against drug abuse, Liverpool and Egypt football star Mohamed Salah contributed to the fourth ad of the \u201cYou Are Stronger Than Drugs\u201d campaign, launched by the Fund for Drug Control and the Treatment of Addiction (FDCTA), affiliated to the Ministry of Social Solidarity.
\nAt the beginning of the ad, a young man has two examples in his life, the first is a group of friends who use drugs and the second is Salah.
\nThe young man appears sitting with his friends and watching the last match between Egypt and the Congo. Everybody appears frustrated after Congo scores a goal, including the young man\u2019s friends who just decide to not to continue watching the match.
\nThe young man watches Salah while encouraging his teammates and then scoring a goal against Congo, qualifying Egypt for the World Cup 2018 in Russia. The man decides to keep away from his bad friends who are addicted to drugs and to have Salah as his role model.
\nThe advertisement includes a song for Mohamed Hamaki.
\nThe song translates as: \u201cMove across hardships, loss will turn into victory. Life is not about luck. Our life moves clockwise which means never look back. Life still has many things to offer. Instead of getting addicted to something that leads you to death, get addicted to life\u201d.
\nAfter the song ends, Salah appears on screen to send a number of messages to the youth, explaining the dangers of drug abuse.
\n\u201cGet addicted to success, don\u2019t get addicted to that which dragged you backwards. You are stronger than surrender, don\u2019t let it (drugs) beat you. You are stronger than drugs. You definitely won\u2019t let it beat you,\u201d Salah says.
\nSalah announced earlier that he volunteered in the campaign out of solid belief in the importance of combating addiction among young Egyptians.
