A rally against the US military base was held on Okinawa
About 70 thousand people went to a rally on the Japanese island of Okinava, insisting that they remove the American military base from the island, and not just transfer it to another area with a smaller population density, Japan Times reports. The rally was attended by the leadership of the prefecture, including the acting governor Kiichiro Yakhan, who replaced the recently deceased Takesi Onagi. For many years, Hoagi advocated that the American military base is removed from the island.
