Protesters marched through Senegal's capital Dakar on Saturday, protesting Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon and calling for a ceasefire in the escalating conflict in West Asia.

The demonstrators, many from Dakar's Lebanese community, waved flags and carried banners demanding peace. Protesters expressed concern over the conflict's spread to Lebanon and Yemen.

Participants highlighted long-standing ties between Senegal and Lebanon, emphasizing both their Lebanese heritage and Senegalese citizenship. They voiced solidarity with Palestinians and Lebanese affected by the violence.

The march featured posters showing destruction in Gaza. Protesters urged stronger international action to stop the violence and criticized what they described as unequal treatment of Israel in global forums.
