Shall I dare to ask again, if you may suffer such impudence from a mere mortal, 'How long, Lord Creator, must I call for help but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not save? Why do you make look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralysed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.' I always feel very emotional when I read this ancient query because it remains relevant today as it was then. Two major reasons today; (1) the shooting in Tucson and the burial of the youngest victim half a globe away and, (2) the death of a Tunisian youth. Whenever there is a gathering of African leaders it feels like a convocation of beasts with the blood of innocent Africans dripping from their fangs and talons. It is sad that it took the self immolation of a poor Tunisian student for a dictator to step down (I wish more dictators will step down too without such a huge sacrifice from from young people who have a lot to offer their nations). My condolences to the Tunisian nation. Another twit is wasting our time in Cote d'Ivoire while his colleagues are fiddling. Sad sad sad.
