Over 20 Countries Worldwide Have Demonstrated Killing of George Floyd Since The Incident Occurred
Over 20 Countries worldwide have been reported to have demonstrated for the killing of A Black American George Floyd since this incident happened. This has portrayed a global unity in the fight against racism. Despite the looting and vandalism of property in the US during the protests, the protesters have expressed their disappointment against what they have termed as discrimination of the blacks.
The world therefore has portrayed oneness and has insisted on the slogan, "Black Life Matters."
George Floyd was killed by police in Minnesota, an incident that triggered demonstrations across all states in US as well as in many other countries outside America. This extra judicial killing has been pictured as racism and hence triggered a campaign against racism and discrimination worldwide.
Nevertheless, these demonstrations have been going on despite the fact that the world is in war against the virulent Covid-19 pandemic. The so called WHO Covid-19 guidelines have been defied and multitudes of people taken to the streets. The "Social Distancing" has appeared to be fading away. Many of the protesters have not kept the social distance during the demonstrations. Majority of the protesters have as well been viewed with no protective masks. This raises concerns among many people as the number of Covid-19 infections seems to be increasing exponentially everyday worldwide.
