LONDON — The Cyrus the Great Day evening in London has been described as a high point in cooperation with the Iranian opposition, bringing together Iranian and Jewish communities to celebrate the legacy of the ancient Persian king, with delegations from the Somaliland and Pakistani communities attending in solidarity.

The event was highlighted in a post on X by Tom Wegner, Founder and CEO of Abrahamic Movement Global, who said it was moving to celebrate Cyrus Day alongside the Iranian and Jewish communities in London and to present the cooperation being built between The Cyrus Fund, Project Aftab and the Abrahamic Movement.

Three Partners, One Platform

According to the post, the evening served to present the partnership between The Cyrus Fund, Project Aftab and the Abrahamic Movement. Delegations from the Somaliland and Pakistani communities also attended, marking their participation as part of the founding of the Abrahamic Movement UK.

Solidarity Across Communities

Voice of Horn, an organization of the Somaliland community, wrote afterwards that its members took part “standing in solidarity, friendship, and remembrance with the Iranian people.” The group said the occasion was an opportunity to “reaffirm our shared commitment to dialogue, mutual understanding, and peaceful coexistence.”

Mr Wegner credited the organization for the photograph shared from the evening, writing: “Thank you, Voice of Horn.”
