Forum for Democracy and Rights Defenders(FDRD) has organized a solidarity walk to lobby for collective effort to stand in support of the people affected by persistent crisis at Gaza in Palestine.
Vice Chair for democracy and rights grouping, Asubuni Phiri told journalists in Blantyre that the walk is set to take place in Blantyre on Wednesday this week.
Phiri said many innocent citizens in Gaza are dying due to current situation going on in the Middle East, hence, the match.
According to Phiri, there are currently over 11 thousand palestinians who so far have been killed and among them are over 4 thousand women.
“These numbers include interfaith members not only the Muslims community.
“Therefore, this is not a single faith freedom fight as it cut across different faith community in the country,” said Phiri
Phiri added that the walk is intended to ask the president of Malawi, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to call for the United Nations and join hands in the efforts.
According to him, the walk is expected to start at around 2 pm and will start from Kamuzu Upper Stadium to Ginnery Corner Round About via Chipembere Highway then back to the upper Stadium.
