Local activists gathered in a peaceful protest outside the offices of the US Consulate in Durban, demanding an end to the escalating violence in the Middle East and urging for solidarity and justice for those caught in the crossfire of conflict.
This gathering was spurred by the recent assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the devastating massacre of 165 schoolgirls and their teachers in Iran during an airstrike.
The protest saw members from various organisations, including the South African Palestine Movement, the KZN Palestine Solidarity Forum, the Congolese Solidarity Campaign, and the Imam Husain Mosque in Ottawa unite in their call for peace and accountability.
