The protesters, including men and women, marched through major streets in the nation’s capital, causing significant traffic disruptions. In a display of anger, they burned the flags of the United States and Israel, symbolizing their disdain for the countries they hold responsible for the deaths of Soleimani and al-Muhandis, whom they referred to as ‘global martyrs.’

Sheikh Sidi Munir Mainasara, speaking for the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, declared, “We are out on the street today to commemorate the martyrdom of Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and we will continue to honor them annually.” He emphasized that the annual demonstrations serve as a reminder of the duo’s contributions to peace and security in the region.

During the protest, participants highlighted Soleimani’s role in the Middle East, particularly in the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Soleimani was praised for mobilizing the Iraqi and Syrian people, creating national armies, and thwarting the advance of ISIS forces on multiple fronts.

The assassinations of Soleimani and al-Muhandis faced widespread criticism from various nations and figures. Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif labeled the act as “international terrorism,” cautioning against its repercussions. This sentiment was echoed internationally, with countries like China, Russia, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey condemning the US action.

US Senator Mark Kirk and European publications acknowledged Soleimani’s strategic influence against US operations in the region. The New York Times referred to his assassination as a strategic defeat for the United States. The Shi’ite protesters in Abuja echoed these sentiments, emphasizing Soleimani’s importance and pointing to America’s role in regional instability.

The demonstration in Abuja underscores ongoing tensions and the complexity of international relations surrounding these events.
