Latest trade in Syria....

Global politics has taken a disheartening dimension. I think what is badly needed is proper utilization of the social media platform for mediation, sensitization, social alliance and education, policy analysis, mobilization and proper communication...  Because, a lot of things have gone amiss, and all I see people do is either talking, talking or criticizing without offering pragmatic solutions to avoidable problems and issues of general interest.

Indeed this attitude of watching the damage and carnage done before acting, or even allowing innocent souls to be wasted for a few persons vested interests or over their elitist squabbles, is a sin of neglect committed by all ( both actors and spectators, as well as the victims who let themselves vulnerable either for ignorance of helplessness), and as such, we all need to voice out what is good and condemn what is evil. For they say, prevention is cheaper and better. Let us not forget, we all owe a duty to be each others keeper regardless of race, inclination, status and distance...

In retrospect, Anang's visit in the early hours of the damage was supposed to have happened as early as a week into the killings, unfortunately, that occurred only on the eleventh hour, which goes to show the level of delay and neglect issues of global concerns suffers. Perhaps, this is coming from other issues contending for interest at their table. But at the same time, I feel a single leader's soul should not be valued over and above a million souls.

It is unfortunately, that at the height of human waste, trade, vested interest and funny exchanges goes on covertly and overtly, yet the world watch with fears and worries without any meaningful remedy to the unquantifiable damages.... We had better learn now to act fast or even save lives that are harmless, quite innocent and ignorant to the deals that go on in the corridors of power.

Whatever the interest is, I feel the sanctity of life is far above the politics of trading and investment interests, or who will patronize the business that spurs all vituperation....


Somebody should speak out for the voiceless before we provoke God beyond tolerance.

Poisonous Letters: Unanswered Questions...

I was perturbed by the worrisome report of another poisonous letter sent to the Mayer of New York - Bloomberg. That another letter containing Ricin, was successful mailed to the Mayor was a clear indication of laxity, which leaves some unanswered moral questions like: who is after President Obama, the US Legislator and the NY Mayor? For what motive and at what prize? Do the trio have lovers and loyalists in the American Postal Agency? If 'yes' answers the latter, then I might as well ask, why was there no red-alert at the mailing points right from the first instance?
If it is for political animosity that laxity and compromise triumphed, then we should be wary of who the next receiver might be. Otherwise, the level of resilience shown by the sender(s) of the Ricin letters' calls for extra vigilance and a doubly red alert on any mail coming or going out of the post offices, especially, in a country like America where mails are never allowed to go on dispatch without the sender's contact details.
Should that be still obtainable, then some gatekeepers axe needs to be massaged for vigilance. Meanwhile, the level of inequality in various societies have reached crescendo, thus calling for soothing and comfort, embracing and care giving to the long abandoned and neglected in our various societies, and as extending the olive branch to the aggrieved and even the opposition.
We must not allow the reckless enthronement of evil, which seem to enthuse a few extremists to escalate to modern societies where all people looked forward to as models for civility and decorum. Otherwise, the level of wickedness that will follow this ugly trend will never leave anyone untouched or pleased.
Let's all be fair and caring to all people. Above all, we must learn to communicate or even accommodate all stakeholders in our communications, especially, as it concerns our commonwealth or well being.
 

My humble demands from UN Scribe - Ban Ki-mon

Everyday I wake to hear sad news of violent killings, I don't only get worried, I get challenged to confronting the powers that be, to implore them to take an action or possibly suggest some pragmatic solutions to the killing of innocent people in volatile places.

The concern burning in my heart at the moment, is to see an end put to the muscle flexing of the likes of Bashar al Assad of Syria, Kim Jong Un of North Korea and others in some places in Africa where people in positions of authority have gone to sleep or left a controllable crisis to escalate into a full scale security issues whose victims are often innocent people.

Indeed if I have an opportunity with Ban Ki-moon, the UN Scribe, I will demand of him the following:

1.) Reorganization of the UN Security Council
2.) A quick review of some international laws and policies as they concern human rights violation and protection
3.) A general advocacy and sensitization of the global citizens common concerns among many other demands.

You may ask why. Simple, over 2000 lives have gone in Syria. It could have been abated or even avoided but not for diplomacy and international politicking. Now, coming to Africa, we all know that implied poverty has given rise to all manner of human waste in form of violence. Unfortunately, when these crises begin, the people that are supposed to address it are the ones who busy themselves with international travels or what I may call frivolity at the risk of human lives and security, without fervid intervention. Yet, the intervention that come often, is that type that can be called medicine after death or when it is out of hand.

It will do the world no good, if we keep watching evil triumph in pockets of places across globe, while pretending that all is well, just because it is not close. Yet, whatever happens, the global citizens are made to pay for it directly or indirectly.

Some times I even wonder whether, a collaborative effort from international banks, diplomats, hotels and airlines who directly or indirectly, are in the know of the machinations of these actors of high scale carnage...will not help in curbing this human waste. Unless, we all get involved, the problems will prevail. Interestingly, the UN Scribe has a key role to play, that is why I want him to action a quick change.
