News from Africa are so dire that sometimes I switch the pages right away so as not to read even the headlines. In Somalia four men, aged between 18 and 25, were subjected to double amputations for stealing phones and guns.In Kenya, many older people have been lynched as they are accused of being witches. Then stories are also posted of diamond diggers having been massacred in Zimbabwe. These are three countries already. What about in others? What kind of democracy is there in this continent? Aren't the above what can be called barbaric acts; are these countries still worthy of being members of the United Nations?
There must be an end to these anti-life activities. I can imagine one solution: big countries sending caravans of human rights education video programs for projection in those countries. Hopefully they could soften the hearts of anyone there still believing in violence.
Education is really the best way to the people's hearts and minds.
