Queen Elizabeth 11

Elizabeth II ,Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms , is 94 today .

But in deference to the mood of the moment occasioned by the ravaging Corona Virus Pandemic , there would be not birthday celebration in the traditional sense. Indeed the traditional gun salute which normally heralded her birthday has been cancelled for the first time in 68 years. Only a couple of royals would be available to wish her happy birthday.

Happy birthday our queen, long may you reign.

This is what is needed. In the 1990s, Pastor James Wuye and the Imam Muhammad Ashafa led opposing sides of a deadly conflict in Kaduna, Nigeria. However, in 1995, during a UNICEF outreach program about child immunization against polio, the two leaders hesitantly agreed to put aside their differences for the sake of the larger community. They realized that their voices, speaking together, could convince more people to protect their children against a common threat. ,Photo credit: uri.org
