In the last eight days, there have been horrific murders in New York, United States; Sokoto, Nigeria and Palestine in the Middle East by private individuals and state agents. The victims in America were eleven Blacks and two Whites; that in Nigeria was a young student, while that in Palestine was a lady journalist whose professional work was repugnant to the Israeli authorities. The murderers believe they are superior to their victims and can justifiably take their lives without any form of trial.
