"According to NewsGhana.com, Namibia's latest national suicide statistics reveal that 559 people committed suicide between January 2021 and May 2022, with the bulk of the cases being both adult and juvenile males, an official said Wednesday.
The numbers continue to spike despite the southwestern African nation's suicide prevention task force launched last year to deal with the rising number of suicide cases."
To know a thing you need to know the cause -how and why it became/ has become what it is.
How did suicide become as an option in Nambia in the way reported here? Until this knowledge is rigorously achieved, it is doubtful how far solutions devoted to preventing the problem can go. Human problems sometimes probably grow faster than solutions! So if AU should offer any reliable help to solve this problem, it probably would be to unmask the cause of this problem, first!
