In Dakar, dozens of people gathered to protest against the ongoing conflict involving Iran and to speak out against military actions blamed on the United States and Israel.
The protest, held at the Place de la Nation, remained calm and peaceful. Participants waved Senegalese, Iranian, and Palestinian flags, showing solidarity beyond national borders. Some also displayed images of Ali Khamenei.
Organizers said the goal was not just to react to events in the Middle East, but to highlight global consequences. One protester explained that people in Iran are suffering daily and that conflicts like this should be solved through dialogue, not violence.
Another organizer stressed that the effects of such wars go far beyond one region. Because countries involved have long-standing economic and cultural ties with Senegal, the impact can be felt worldwide.
The event also drew support from international figures. Iran’s ambassador praised the protest as a message against war and injustice, while Venezuela’s representative criticized U.S. foreign policy, warning that similar situations could affect other countries in the future.
This demonstration is part of a wider pattern of global protests reacting to tensions around Iran, showing how conflicts in one region can spark reactions across the world. (en.wikipedia.org)
