War is a continuing negative behaviors among people everywhere on this planet. Why then have you ask of us, a tiny Overseas Territory under the UK's rule, and baptized in division among ourselves, to pray for only for Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine? Of the more than eighth billions of people now living on this planet and one hundred and ninety-five nations only three national people you know that need prayers?
You are the current Deputy Premier of the BVI. This country is experiencing a Civil War, as are Ukraine, Israel and Palestine. The majority of people that are living in the BVI are suffering due to this shameful political Civil War. How much do you really care? If you truly care, prove that you do by your action. Your words so far don't help relieve nor do they shift attention away from mismanagement of our finances
