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.
