Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, the Prime minister of the Great Britain Boris Johnson, prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו all International Communities and the United Nations to beam their focus on the killings complained of in Nigeria since our Governments have ignored our crying voices.
