CAIRO, Egypt – As the Global March to Gaza dey prepare to begin, wahala don burst! Authorities for Egypt and Libya don stop activists wey wan break Israel blockade on Gaza. Organisers of the protest talk say dem don detain up to 40 participants since dem reach checkpoint for Cairo. You fit imagine how dem go feel, hot sun dey shine like sey dem no get wash hand!
According to statement wey organisers drop, these group of peaceful activists wey dey from France, Spain, Canada, Turkiye, and United Kingdom no fit move at all. Dem dey inside heat wey fit turn person to suya, and dem dey kept in hotels like sey dem be important bigmen!” (E be like sey no be only dem dey suffer for this protest o!)
Dem don shout say, “We be peaceful movement and we dey follow Egyptian law.” But as e be, embassies wey suppose come rescue dem no just gree! Activists dey plan gather for Cairo wey dey aim to pressure Israel make dem allow aid enter Gaza wey dey suffer. Na about 4,000 activists dey expected to join the high-octane protest una!
For the matter, it no dey sweet as underskinned fish as security forces don already block several groups of foreign nationals wey dey try waka to Rafah crossing. Paul Murphy, wey be independent Irish member of parliament, don talk say e passport don waka go sleep for police hand! E dey vex as he post for social media say, “Egyptian authorities don crack down on us.”
Meanwhile, our brother Mo wey dey from Netherlands don share him own side of the story. E talk say dem drive taxis go Ismailia then meet police for checkpoint wey tell dem say all non-Egyptians make dem land as e dey before them go near border. Na wah! E come dey explain say some protesters even face riot police wey wan clear road for them. Very sad news.
Back for Cairo, dem dey plan wetin to do next. Mo dey talk say, “We dey try gather our team, some don collect beating from police.” (Na we go show dem say we no dey run!)
Security sources don confirm say over 88 individuals don land for deportation after dem catch some people for Cairo airport and other locations. Three sources wey dey work for airport confirm say at least 73 foreign nationals don dey deported, with more on ground waiting for their own turn. Na wetin dem dey call “entry protocols”.
Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs don issue new instructions say anybody wey dey plan enter Rafah border must follow official channels. Na wah! As if say dem know sey no be so e go be. Organisers insist sey dem don already coordinate dem trip with Egyptian authorities, but na only wahala dem dey face.
On the flip side, part of the convoy wey dey call “Soumoud”, wey come from Tunisia, don face similar wahala. E stop for Sirte in Libya wey get big military commander wey dey control the area. Tunisian organizer Wael Naouar comot video talk say dem don block dem passage at Sirte entrance. Na so una wey get the fire dey try to reach Gaza but security don spoil una day!
As military men dey everywhere, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz don shine eye on the protesters. E talk say dem go prevent them from entering Gaza, claim sey these people be jihadist protesters wey wan cause wahala. As for aid? Na story we dey hear, but our people for Gaza dey need am like paracetamol for headache!
Wetin we go do now? More and more people dey talk say dem want help provide humanitarian resources for Gaza wey don dey near famine level, but the blockade dey hold dem down. The world dey watch how this drama go play, and we dey here dey hope sey something go change before dem forget this matter like yesterday news.
