"As Africans, we know very well what it means to live under occupation, under oppression," he said.
The Maghreb Sumud Flotilla will set sail on Sunday, organisers say, aiming to join other Gaza-bound boats that have already left from Spain and Italy.
Initially scheduled for last Thursday, it was postponed due to bad weather, and organisers have yet to confirm the place and time of departure., This news data comes from:http://fvrhjjdc.705-888.com
Organisers have said about 100 activists have registered to join the flotilla from Tunis.
