Muslim Awareness International Denounces Israeli Regime Violence at Al-Aqsa during Ramadan
It noted that the attacks have intensified during the blessed month of Ramadan.
MAI called on the United Nations (UN) to end the age-long persecution and injustice against Palestinians.
Its Director, Alhaji Abdul Waheed Atoyebi, in a statement said the persecution of the Palestinians by the Israeli regime is the height of injustice.
MAI, one of Nigeria’s leading human rights organizations, participated in the International Quds Day rallies held on the last Friday of Ramadan, where it joined the rest of the world in condemning the atrocities being perpetrated by the Israeli government in Palestine and Masjid Al-Aqsa, Islam’s third holiest mosque.
Atoyebi said: “International Quds Day means a lot to us. It shows the interest of the whole world in the suffering and humiliation in Palestine. We in Nigeria support the cause and we encourage Muslims across the world to join such advocacy. Let us voice our support for peace and stability in the region. We should also join hands to condemn the atrocities being perpetrated by the Israeli government. No country in the world has been continuously persecuted like Palestine. It has been going on for over 70 years. It is uncalled for and unfair.”
Atoyebi lamented that the Arab leaders have been paying lip service to the Palestinian cause.
He also carpeted some world powers for their support for the criminal occupation of Palestine by Israel.
“Unfortunately, the United Nations have been silent. Those countries that have raised their voices, their voices are not being heard because of the interest of some world powers supporting Israel. It is the highest level of inhumanity.
“The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other Muslim bodies have made no pragmatic effort to curtail the excesses of Israel,” he said.
MAI also voiced their discontent over a plan by the United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
