• Reports indicate that multiple activist groups, including SOS Racisme, la Federation des Associations Generales Etudiantes (FAGE), among others, will hold a rally in solidarity with Afghanistan in Paris on September 5.
• Participants are expected to gather from 15:00 (local time) at Place de la Republique and march towards the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The route of the protest march remains unconfirmed as of writing.

1. Based on the mobilization capacity of the groups involved, the demonstration is likely to draw turnouts ranging in the low hundreds.
2. While the protest is expected to transpire largely peacefully without major instances of unrest, security is likely to be bolstered in the vicinity of the protest locations as a precautionary measure and to monitor compliance with COVID-19 regulations.  
3. Disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be anticipated in the vicinity of Place de la Republique and the Foreign Affairs Ministry from the afternoon hours onwards.

Those operating or residing in Paris on September 5 are advised to allot for disruptions to travel in the vicinity of the aforementioned locations due to the slated protest during the afternoon hours.
