Why Gaza and Sudan flags took over the Super Bowl halftime stage?

Hindustan Times  

A performer during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show sparked a protest by unfurling a flag symbolising both Sudan and the Gaza Strip. A protestor holds a Palestinian flag with the words "Gaza" and "Sudan" as US rapper Kendrick Lamar performs during Super Bowl LIX Chiefs vs Eagles Apple Music Halftime Show at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, February 9, 2025. The Gaza Strip remains central to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Palestinians seeking the region as part of a future state with east Jerusalem as its capital. The protest at the Super Bowl halftime show, though brief, is part of a larger movement to raise awareness about the atrocities unfolding in Gaza and Sudan, drawing attention from both the global public and popular culture.
