Africa Marches For Palestine

Amid growing international calls for a just and permanent solution to the Palestine-Israeli conflict, millions across the world have marched in solidarity with Palestine. We take a look at what that has looked like across African cities.

For a continent that has endured centuries of slavery, colonisation and neocolonisation, it is obvious why many feel deeply about Palestine. From its creation in 1948 by Britain, Israel has subjected Palestinians to unspeakable horrors. From land dispossession, rationing of essentials like water, surveillance, imprisonment of children, destruction of crops and apartheid, the Zionist state has had free reign to abuse Palestinians with the complicity and enablement of the West.

Following Palestinian resistance group Hamas' 7 October incursion and subsequent escalation of the struggle, Palestinian sovereignty is back on the front burner. Various African leaders have called for the creation of a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders.

Let us know what you think about African solidarity with Palestine.
