Scores of Nigerian Muslims have been pouring into the streets in the northern parts of the country to protest the bombardment of the Gaza Strip in Palestine by Israeli soldiers.
The protesters, mostly in Bauchi, Kano, Kaduna and Niger States, are not happy with the attacks on the Strip which is mostly occupied by Muslims and are accusing the Israeli authorities of trying to eliminate the Palestinians from the surface of the earth.
The protests, which started on Tuesday and spilled into Wednesday, have been largely peaceful, with the protesters taunting the Nigerian government for not getting involved in peace efforts embarked upon by several countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and others.
Waving the Palestinian green, black, red and white flags, demonstrators marched through the streets chanting “Free, free Palestine” and “Down Israel, down.”
One of the leaders of the protests in Bauchi, Abdulmutallab Salihu who spoke exclusively on Wednesday, said he is pained that Israel is doing everything to annihilate Palestinians while the world is aiding them.
“The world is watching as Israel is carrying out unprovoked bombardment of Palestine, killing defenceless people, including women and children,” said Salihu
“And coming in the holy month of Ramadan is completely unacceptable. This is an unwarranted attack on Islam.
“The Gaza Strip belongs to Palestine but Israel has been doing everything possible to claim a land that does not belong to it.Our nation is turning into war only God can save us all
