Three weeks ago, coordinated protests in London and Washington, D.C. targeted the Israeli, Egyptian, and Jordanian embassies, challenging Arab regimes complicit in Gaza’s genocide, war crimes, and enforced starvation. MENA Solidarity spoke to Ibrahim, a young UK-based Palestinian who organised and joined the London actions on July 23–24, while activists in Washington rallied in parallel.
On February 8, 2025, Sudanese women and allies held a silent march in London, urging the UK government to pressure warring parties in Sudan to halt violence and facilitate humanitarian aid. The protest highlighted the escalating gender-based violence against women since the onset of war in April 2023, calling for a just peace and liberation.
Join the march organised by the Sudanese Women’s Union UK & I in support of the revolution and in resistance to the ongoing war in Sudan and the appalling violence perpetrated against women. Sudanese women, in particular, have borne the brunt of this brutal conflict, their bodies transformed into weapons of war.

A global wave of solidarity surged on Saturday, June 1st, as thousands flooded the streets of major cities worldwide. London, Manchester, Cardiff, Oxford, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cologne, Toronto and beyond, bore witness to a unified call for justice and peace in Sudan. The demonstrators gathered to commemorate the horrific events of June 3rd 2019, when the Sudanese Army, Rapid Support militia, police forces, and the now-defunct Muslim Brotherhood regime’s militias unleashed a coordinated attack on peaceful revolutionaries across Sudan.
