The United States Embassy staff in Abuja, Nigeria on Monday joined in the support for the protests that have rocked the world after the murder of African-American, George Floyd, by the police.

The embassy posted a photo of its staff going down on one knee, a gesture that shows support for the fight against police brutality towards persons of colour in America and the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.

The caption read:

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.
