'World Watches,' Said Biden.. It Really Did! Read Here...

When President-elect Joe Biden mentioned, in his speech yesterday, that the world was watching what is taking place in his country.. this was really the case. The unprecedented attack - by Americans - on the U.S. capitol, have almost made the most catchy photos which foreign leaders as well as peoples were keen to watch. This was an attempt by Americans to stop a peaceful transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden after a democratic election in a country that many around the world have looked at as a model for democratic governance.

Here are some of what the world leaders commented on what was happening yesterday in D.C.:

Irish Foreign and Defense Minister Simon Coveney said on Twitter: “We must call this out for what it is: a deliberate assault on Democracy by a sitting President & his supporters, attempting to overturn a free & fair election! The world is watching! ”

In China, the Communist Youth League ran a photo montage of the violence at the Capitol on its Twitter-like Weibo microblog with the caption: “On the sixth, the U.S. Congress, a most beautiful site to behold.”

“The U.S. is not as safe as China, right? I think Trump is a self-righteous and selfish person,” said financial adviser Yang Ming.

In Iran, the semiofficial Fars news agency called the United States a “fragmented democracy,” while Iran’s pro-government Twitter accounts gloated, circulating photos of the mobs with hashtags that included #DownfalloftheUS.

“The beauty of democracy?” with a shrug emoji was the reaction tweeted by Bashir Ahmad, a personal assistant to the president of Nigeria, which has seen several coups since independence — including one led decades ago by President Muhammadu Buhari, who most recently entered the office via a vote.

In South Korea, Na HyunPil at the Korean House for International Solidarity, a Seoul-based NGO said: “This is shocking. I hope this will serve as chance for the Americans to review their democracy".

“Trump is entirely responsible for this incident. After his four-year rule, the Americans find it difficult to tell other countries that their country is a good model for democracy.”
