Wisdom says: if you want to take sides, take God's side. In order to do that, you need to know what God LIKES. Short list:
1. Little children (Mat.18:1-6). So pray for God to protect the little children (no particular ethnicity, nation, country)
2. Peacemakers (and so peace) (Mat.5:9), "for they shall be called the children of God". So pray for God to prod high-level leaders (1Tim.2:1-4,Prov.21:1,8:15-16) towards peace.

Warning: do NOT pray TO GOD if you don't have a good standing WITH GOD (Prov.28:9). Bad things can happen. You have a good standing when you're covered by the blood of the Lamb.
