The Inside Story of The Super Bowl Halftime Performer Who Raised a Palestine and Sudan Flag (The Intercept, 2025-02-10)

------

"With the world watching, [a New Orleans performer and designer Zül-Qarnain] Nantambu, 41, made his choice. As the rest of the 400 hired dancers moved in a coordinated rhythm to Lamar’s music, Nantambu reached into his clothes and unfurled a joint Palestinian and Sudanese flag. He took off running, waving a flag adorned with the words 'Sudan' and 'Gaza' in black ink. After roughly 30 seconds, he was wrestled to the ground by security as the crowd watched."

"Nantambu said that he couldn’t allow those who share his Muslim faith abroad to suffer without speaking out. 'I can’t live in America — live in a lap of luxury — while those are suffering, without trying to help or bring attention to it,' he said."
