Thousands of Muslims rallied peacefully in northern Nigeria on Saturday to demand the return of Egypt’s Islamist former president Mohamed Morsi. Around 4,000 demonstrators carrying banners and placards chanted pro-Morsi songs and slogans outside a mosque in Kano. Organisers put the number of protesters at 5,000. They said “We call for the immediate release of president Mohamed Morsi and all political prisoners being detained by the illegitimate Egyptian authorities,” protest leader Sheikh Abubakar Mujahid told reporters. “Morsi must return to his position as president.” Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation of 160 million people, is evenly divided between a mainly Muslim north and predominantly Christian south. Its sad that they have not protested against Boko Haram killing innocent people both Muslim and Christians. But protesting about something that they probably lack understanding about. I wonder if Arab muslims would protest on their behalf if the shoe was on the other foot. #foodforthought.
