Across the world, the fallout from the unprecedented joint United States-Israeli strikes on Tehran, is being felt far beyond the borders of the Middle East. Following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on February 28th, the world has seen massive waves of mourning and protest, not just in the streets of Iran, but right here on the African continent. In Northern Nigeria, from Kano to Kaduna, thousands of Shia Muslims have taken to the streets to mourn a leader they consider a global religious authority. Amidst an environment of heightened security and a ban on the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), these processions have seen portraits of the late Ayatollah held high and symbols of Western intervention dragged through the dust.
