Mombasa's Muslim community protests Israel's assault on Palestinians

The Muslim community in Mombasa, Kenya, took to the streets in a powerful display of solidarity with Palestinians, calling for global condemnation of what they deemed a relentless onslaught and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Led by Nyali MP Mohamed Ali, the protestors urged for an immediate ceasefire, emphasizing the urgent need to address the dire situation.

In a passionate address to the media, MP Mohamed Ali articulated the gravity of the crisis, stating, "Together with my fellow Kenyan brothers and sisters we are demonstrating against the ongoing Israel's horrendous massacre and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. We call on our government and every government in the world with any ounce of respect towards human rights and International Law to call for an immediate ceasefire. Gaza is at the moment cut off from food, electricity, water, and fuel. The whole world has witnessed the unquestionable war crimes Israel has committed in the last 15 days."

As the echoes of their collective plea reverberated through the streets of Mombasa, the unwavering spirit of solidarity stood as a testament to the unyielding commitment of the global community to stand in support of justice, peace, and the fundamental rights of all people, irrespective of their nationality or creed.
