The United States Embassy staff stationed in Abuja, Nigeria, demonstrated their support for the Black Lives Matter protesters by kneeling down on Monday. The protesters are advocating for justice for George Floyd and other black victims of police brutality in the US.
The embassy shared a photo of its staff taking a knee, captioned with a message: “Today at the Embassy, we joined together in 84 seconds of silence in solidarity with those at home and around the world protesting the murders of George Floyd & others. We sincerely hope that all of us will learn from this episode & use it as inspiration to create a better world.”
