Tens of thousands demonstrated in several Algerian cities, including the capital, Algiers, today, Thursday, in solidarity with the Palestinian people and denouncing the ongoing Israeli aggression against them.

The capital's demonstration started from May 1st Square towards Martyrs' Square, a distance of about five kilometers, and the demonstrators chanted "Palestine the martyrs" and "The people of Algeria are with you, Palestine."

The demonstrators also raised banners in Arabic and English that read, “No to the killing of children, women, and civilians. Where are human rights?” They also carried Palestinian flags alongside Algerian flags.

Parties, unions, civil organizations, and the Algerian Workers' Union called for Thursday's demonstrations "in order to support Palestine," and Algerian official television channels broadcast them live.

Palestinian flags were hung alongside Algerian flags throughout the capital and on the balconies of buildings overlooking the demonstration route.

Similar demonstrations took place in the cities of Oran, Constantine, Ouargla, Tindouf, Batna and others.

It is noteworthy that the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad asked all its embassies and diplomatic missions abroad to cancel all preparations related to the celebrations of the glorious first anniversary of November, by order of the President of the Algerian Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, in solidarity with Palestine.

Sports competitions and tournaments were also cancelled, especially the football tournament, in solidarity with the Palestinian people, according to what the Algerian Football Federation announced.
