Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria, MMWG, has condemned the Israel continued genocide in Palestine calling on the international community to help stop the barbaric and senseless killing of innocent women, children and the elderly in Gaza by Israel.
Rising from a special meeting held in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT the group raised a serious alarm over the killings of some international journalists by Israel in Gaza since two weeks ago, adding that up to 12 journalists belonging to various world media organizations, including Al-Jazeera have been massacred for doing their professional duties in line with ethical standard in Palestine.
In a statement signed by the MMWG’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Yusuf Agbabiaka, the group described the acts of Israel as devilish and inhuman, calling on all well-meaning Nigerians irrespective of their faiths to condemn the unjustifiable killing of innocent people for no just cause.
It wondered why the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ; Nigerian Guild of Editors, NGE; the West African Journalists Association, WAJA, and the International Press Institute, IPI, have been silent over the terrible killings of international journalists, men and women, young and old, wondering whether it’s being done by Israel to conceal its war crimes in Palestine.
MMWG also condemned President Donald Trump of America on his ‘finish the job order’ to Israel and described both America and Israel as Zionists wrecking evils across the world and therefore called on the United Nations, UN not to watch helplessly the humanitarian crises being created by the two nations, warning that it is dangerous to the world peace.
At least 20 people, including five journalists, are reported to have been killed in an Israeli strike on a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, intensifying concerns over the targeting of media personnel amid regime’s ongoing military campaign.
The journalists, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence Agency, worked with international outlets, including the Associated Press, Reuters, Al-Jazeera and Middle East Eye.
