Nouakchott – SABA:
Hundreds of Mauritanians gathered on Friday in the capital, Nouakchott, in a solidarity rally with the Palestinian people and in support of Gaza, which has been subjected to an Israeli assault with full U.S. backing since October 7, 2023.
Participants in the rally raised Palestinian flags and chanted slogans denouncing the official Arab and Islamic silence and inaction in taking a supportive stance toward the Palestinian tragedy in Gaza. The people of Gaza are facing a Zionist genocide using various types of American bombs amid Western complicity and shameful Arab and Islamic inaction.
During the rally, Mauritanians reaffirmed their unwavering support for Gaza and the Palestinian cause, stressing their commitment to standing firmly with their Palestinian brothers and sisters as a moral and divine responsibility that cannot be abandoned.
Protesters chanted slogans highlighting their firm stance in support of Gaza’s residents, who continue to suffer under the ongoing Zionist aggression that has claimed tens of thousands of lives and devastated most of Gaza’s infrastructure. Entire residential neighborhoods have been wiped out, and the enemy continues its campaign of starvation, thirst, displacement, killing, and destruction.
Rally participants called on the international community to rise to the humanitarian challenge and shoulder its responsibility in protecting the Palestinian people, supporting them until they obtain their legitimate rights, and holding the occupying forces accountable for all crimes, including the ongoing genocide.
The Zionist enemy resumed its aggression and tightened the siege on Gaza at dawn on March 18, following a two-month ceasefire agreement that came into effect on January 19. However, the enemy violated the ceasefire terms throughout the truce period.
With American and European backing, the Zionist regime has committed genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in over 167,000 Palestinians killed and wounded, most of them women and children, and more than 14,000 reported missing.
