NFF SET FOR SEPTEMBER 3 PROTEST AGAINST ISRAELI EMBASSY REOPENING
Lusaka… Friday August 22, 2025
The National Freedom Front (NFF) has announced that it will hold a demonstration on September 3, 2025, to oppose the reopening of the Israeli Embassy in Lusaka.
NFF Secretary General Harry Simuntala confirmed that the organisation has officially notified the Zambia Police of its intentions and had subsequent engagements with senior police officers.
“We were granted an audience with the Deputy Provincial Commissioner and later met with the Lusaka Division Command. The discussions were tense and protracted, but we were eventually cleared to proceed with our demonstration,” Mr Simuntala said.
He explained that in the build-up to the protest, the NFF would intensify its campaign through media appearances, social media mobilisation, and press briefings.
“Our momentum must build. Our voice must grow louder and collectively,” Mr Simuntala stressed.
“Now or Never… We Keep the Promise.”
I thought our country and the world at large have enough problems to grapple with than this non-issue of opening or not opening an Embassy for whatever country. How does having an Israeli Embassy in Lusaka negatively affect us, unless of course the Arabs will stop supplying us oil?
The Jews/Palestinian Conflict is as old as the Bible. We found it, we will die and leave it.
Why is NFF also extend their demonstration to the Russian embassy as well.
The protest is absolutely unnecessary. The promoters of the protest have never seen it fit to take to the streets against the ill-treatment of Africans in the Middle East. A number of Arab countries have diplomatic relations with Israel. Why not Zambia? I of course deplore what the IDF is doing to Palestinians but talking is the only way to stop that.
Israel is a racist state that regards blacks as shit. All they want is our minerals. Israel massacres little children and kills old people.
My worry is that Israel has the tendency of thinking that it is always right and the rest of the world is wrong. This stance is not conducive to Embassy relationship at all.
