According to Vanguard report Beyoncé has joined a post-inauguration, anti-Trump Women’s March group to protest against Trump.

“Together with Chime for Change, we raise our voices as

mothers, artists, and as activists,” she wrote in a Facebook post.

The rally will take place in Washington, D.C. and other cities around the world.

Chime for Change, a global campaign Beyoncé confounded aims to empower women and is an official partner with the Saturday’s event.

“As #GlobalCitizens, we can make our voices heard and turn awareness into meaningful action and positive change.”

The Women’s March takes place the day after Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

The march was organized in response to his misogynistic and prejudicial rhetoric he used throughout his campaign.

Groups that feel attacked by Trump’s derogatory remarks

include: women, Mexican-Americans Muslim citizens and

members and allies of the LGBTQIA community.

Artists like Katy Perry, Cher, Zendaya, Madonna and more

have not only publicly supported the efforts of the Women's March but will also be in attendance at the event, which begins at 10 a.m. at the intersection of Independence Avenue and Third Street SW.

At press time, there are 616 sister marches on record that

will take place across the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

Beyoncé’s show of support follows one of the most vocally political periods in her career.

The singer infused the rhetoric and ideologies of the Black

Lives Matter movement into her visual album Lemonade,

which featured the mothers of slain black men like Eric

Garner, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.

At the Super Bowl, her back-up dancers dressed in Black

Panthers-inspired gear.

Just prior to the election, she performed at a rally in support of the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

The Nigerian military on Tuesday said a fighter jet accidentally shot some civilians and humanitarian aid workers during an operation in Kala Balge, Borno State.

The Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj. Gen.
Lucky Irabor, who disclosed this during a press briefing on
Tuesday in Maiduguri, said soldiers got information of movement of Boko Haram members and deployed ground
troops and air cover to tackle the terrorists.

"This morning, we received a report about the gathering of Boko Haram terrorists around Kala Balge area of Maiduguri. I
coordinated and I directed that the air component of the
operation should go and address the problem.

"Unfortunately, the strike was conducted but it turned out that other civilians were somewhere around the area and they were affected. So far, it is a little bit disturbing; death has occurred.

There are casualties; there were deaths and injuries but on the actual number of casualties, we would get back to you later.

"I am yet to get the number of casualties of civilians killed, but two soldiers were also affected.

Some humanitarian staff of Medicines Sans Frontiers and some staff of International Committee of Red Cross(ICRC) were also affected. "We are sending helicopters to evacuate those that were critically wounded, including our wounded soldiers," Irabor added.
