Qud's Day and Africa

The people of Africa join other masses across the world every year to mark the International Quds Day in support of Palestinians.

According to Press TV, many in Africa, like this protester in South Africa invoke the name of the late freedom icon Nelson Mandela in expressing solidarity with Palestinians who are struggling to liberate their land occupied by the Israeli apartheid regime.

This week edition of our 'Africa Today' program is focusing on the International Quds Day which is marked globally to draw attention to the continued occupation of Palestine by the Israeli regime. We are asking, what is the significance of this day for the people of Africa?
