PEACE MARCH

Yesterday’s peace march organised by Pastor Nimms Obunge, of Peace Alliance was attended by thousands as a protest against gun crime.

Members of the public, faith leaders, senior police officers and community group representatives walked two miles from Peckham to Brixton.

Lee Jasper, chief executive of the Independent Advisory Group to Operation Trident commented that the march had restored black people’s pride.

Alex Emaviwe, 20, who was present at the march stated in the London Paper: “I’m here because I want to stand together with my brothers and sisters.”
