Hypocrisy of the Christian World. Muslims killed in New Zealand - flooded with tweets showing sympathy by Christians Christians killed in Zimbabwe - No tweets by Christians showing support or grief for those killed.

The western countries are more bothered about a massacre in New Zealand but are least bothered about the deaths in Zimbabwe due to this Cyclone. Why? because it is an African nation.

China is leading investors in Africa,give some hope to their peoples. After centuries of colonialism from foreigners.

Tragic incident.

Maybe this is Trumps fault too?

WHY BITCOIN MINING IS PROFITABLE?➡️

Condolences

Hmmm.. May their rest in peace ooo

☹️

Very sad,a terrible loss. But its only just begun. Wait till the polar caps and Greenland,etc,melts. More water on surface means more atmospheric moisture means more rain,snow hitting ground only to evaporate back...never ending cycle,and its speeding up.

Why do natural disaster affect d poor most? To d ones who lost their love ones. May God comfort them

rosemaryCNN liar. if they are hurt in any way, you are responsible. All the evidence says you did it, and its completely crazy for you to try and blame it on clinton

Of course the Religion Of Peace does this and CNN promtes them lol

Nebraska USA......

Nebraska is still under water. That's here in the USA in case you didn't know

It's time to 'send help'

;_____; 💔💔💔

Clearly a direct result of Trump's promoting of Global Warming...

Africa commits 1 to 4% of CO2 emissions. but due to the continent massive size and being center of the planet = it shores collect billions of plastic waste & pollution from '1st worlds' Land & Island nations that don't pollute = feels the brunt of 'nasty dozens' that do.

MaYbE ThIs wIlL gEt TruMp iMPeaChED?

GOD 🙏

It is a pity that Natural disaster in Zimbabwe and artificial disaster in New Zealand mosque.

Hurricane in England Hurricane in Zimbabwe Magnetic North moved disrupting GPS = what climate change? But LOL to this article

Why are you not reporting on the flooding in Nebraska?

The situation in Zim been declared a state of disaster by the gvt.

FORATOFFOLI

Natural selection.

very sad 😓

I'm just going to come out and say it... In the last 18 hours in 3rd world countries there's been almost 200 people killed in natural disasters...

When are you going to report on the 120 Nigerian Christian's killed by Muslims this weekend? I know why. Sad for your racism.

This too will somehow be Trump’s fault right? CNN will pull together a panel of experts to discuss the link.

I sympathize with the government and people Zimbabwe over the incident that occurred hence the lost of lives and property.

Yet you didn’t report on the 100 Christians murdered by Muslims! Why is that

It's now above 60 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Cyclones are racist.

It's Zimbabwe.....so who cares

I call for the formation of a Muslim committee to review the curriculum of the church to which the New Zealand's terrorist group belongs.Also,so that they can purge themselves from terrorist Ideas Christchurch

Poor people 😔
