Farah Jack Mustaklem, Thank you for sharing this information. I appreciate the effort that the Arabic Wikipedia editors are taking to highlight the plight of the Palestinian people and to call for peace. I hope that this action will help to raise awareness of the situation and to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
I also appreciate the fact that Wikipedia remains accessible for reading, even though it is not editable for 24 hours. This is a good way to ensure that people can still access information about the Palestinian people and the conflict, even though they cannot edit the site. I hope that this action will be successful in achieving its goals. I wish you and the Arabic Wikipedia editors all the best in your efforts. Best wishes, Aliyu Shaba.
