Celebrating Peace in Gaza: A Mauritanian March

On October 10, 2025, the city of Nouakchott became a beacon of solidarity as it hosted a vibrant march commemorating the cessation of hostilities in Gaza. The march was organized by the National League for Palestinian Support, reflecting a deep-rooted commitment to the Palestinian cause among Mauritanians.

The procession commenced from Nouakchott’s Grand Mosque, weaving through streets to halt outside the United Nations offices. This symbolic gesture underscored Mauritania’s support for international efforts towards peace in Gaza and highlighted its citizens’ relentless advocacy for Palestine.

Ahmed Bibeche, Secretary-General of the National League, lauded Mauritanians for their unwavering support and active engagement over weeks, both day and night. He emphasized that the success achieved was a collective triumph not only for the Palestinians but also for all those who contributed tirelessly without sparing resources or efforts.

Bibeche underscored the ongoing mission to rebuild Gaza, urging continued financial contributions to restore what had been destroyed under occupation. This call to action aimed at reconstructing Gaza into an even better state than before, exemplifying global solidarity and a shared responsibility towards humanitarian causes.

Salah Ould Hanane, a parliamentary representative and spokesperson for Mauritanian political parties, expressed deep respect for the Palestinian people’s resilience throughout their formidable struggle. He highlighted how Palestinians, comprising all ages and professions, endured two years of siege, deprivation, and relentless bombardment—challenges exacerbated by certain regional allies who failed to provide adequate support.

Ould Hanane appealed for ongoing financial aid directed towards Gaza’s reconstruction, urging each Mauritanian to contribute according to their capacity. This plea echoed a broader call for solidarity that transcended borders, emphasizing the shared human values of compassion and mutual assistance.

Dr. Mohamed Sabah Abu Saker, representing Hamas in Mauritania, declared Gaza’s victory as a victory for the entire Mauritanian populace. He asserted that Mauritania had never faltered in its support since the onset of the crisis, nor before or after it. Dr. Abu Saker painted an image of a forthcoming wave of volunteers—on foot, by sea, or air—ready to participate actively in Gaza’s reconstruction.

He stressed the importance of sustained Mauritanian support and participation in Gaza’s rebuilding efforts, reinforcing the message that they would not abandon Gaza during its struggle or its recovery. This declaration served as both a pledge and an inspiration for continued solidarity with Palestine.

This march in Nouakchott was more than just a demonstration; it was a testament to the enduring spirit of unity and support among Mauritanians for global humanitarian causes, particularly highlighting their unwavering commitment to peace and rebuilding efforts in Gaza.
