Thousands gathered in Paris’ Republic Square to protest the killing of Aboubakar Cisse, a Malian man fatally stabbed at a mosque in southern France. Demonstrators held banners reading “Justice for Aboubakar” and “Islamophobia exists and kills.” Organized by the Supreme Council of Malians in France, the silent protest accused political and media discourse of fueling hate crimes. Some French officials and Muslim community members joined the rally, calling for accountability and stronger action against racism and Islamophobia.
