On February 7, 2026, a major peace march took place in Paris, from Place de la Nation to Place de la République. Citizens, diasporas, and collectives from around the world came together to protest against wars, structural racism, and various forms of oppression, while affirming the right of peoples to sovereignty, justice, and self-determination.
Organized by the citizen movement Noubouke, the march brought together participants from the Caribbean, Haiti, Palestine and Gaza, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Venezuela, Iran, Kanaky, Colombia, and Peru. The demonstration unfolded peacefully, with the crowd chanting slogans that expressed international solidarity and resistance:
« From Paris to Gaza, resistance! »
« From Paris to Haiti, resistance! » (repeated for multiple countries)
« We are all children of Gaza / Congo / Haiti… »
« No to your dirty wars! »
« El pueblo unido jamás será vencido » (The people united will never be defeated)
« Down with imperialism! »
« Solidarity with the oppressed! »
« Boycott Israel, boycott the universities of the genocidaires! »
The march also carried deep historical and symbolic significance. February 7 marks the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti in 1986 and celebrates Haiti’s revolutionary legacy as the world’s first Black republic, born from a successful slave revolt in 1804. During the event, speakers described Haiti as a “moral compass” for the world and emphasized that the country’s sovereignty must belong to its people, not external powers.
The speakers denounced contemporary imperialism, foreign interventions, and the structural injustices that affect communities globally. Connections were drawn between the struggles of Port-au-Prince, Gaza, Khartoum, and Congo, highlighting shared challenges faced by peoples subjected to oppression, exploitation, and militarized conflicts.
The march underscored that peace is not merely the absence of war, but requires justice, dignity, and the recognition of the right of peoples to determine their own futures. Organizers stressed the importance of international solidarity, uniting struggles that are often invisible in mainstream media, and promoting a collective fight against systems of domination.
Participants included citizens, diasporas, unions, and youth, all contributing to a peaceful yet powerful demonstration. The central message of the march was clear: Peace, Justice, Dignity, Sovereignty.
This event in Paris serves as a reminder that the pursuit of peace and justice is global, and that unity among peoples is essential to challenge oppression and create a more equitable world.
