We are all aware of leaders, countries, and nations on several continents who are corrupt and cruel to some of their people.
God wants us to pray for them and us. He knows. He listens. He acts. Sometimes not in our time frame.
"For the needs of the needy shall not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor shall not always be crushed.
"O Lord, arise and judge and punish the nations; don't let them defy you!"
~ Psalm 9:18 & 19 LAB

Bible Commentary: "The world may ignore the plight of the needy, crushing any earthly hope they may have. But, God, the champion of the weak and needy, promises that this will not be the case forever. The wicked nations who forget the Lord and refuse to help their people will be judged by God. He knows our needs, he knows our tendency to despair, and he has given us the promise that he himself will care for us. Even when others forget, he will remember."
