Senegal’s Prime Minister and leader of the Pastef party, Ousmane Sonko, announced that he will participate in a demonstration in support of the martyred people of Palestine on Sunday, September 1. ‎

The prime minister made the announcement on his Facebook page.

“This afternoon, I will participate in the demonstration organised in support of the martyred people of Palestine, Insha Allah.”

Sonko’s announcement came amid an increasing solidarity in Senegal for Palestinians, driven by the West African country’s religious affiliation; Muslim is the majority religion in Senegal.

Israel has been accused of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. According to Palestinian health authorities, Israel’s land and air campaigns in Gaza have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, with most of the victims being civilians.

More than 92,000 Palestinians have been wounded, and 2.3 million people forced out of their homes due to the conflict, according to Reuters.
