Great ones:
Let me make three pleas on Ukraine. I am not a gatekeeper and do feel free to ignore my request.
- Given the loss of lives, serious agonies of refugees, death, unpredictable calamities, the reasons for the war should take a back seat to give relevance to the war process and its possible outcomes. So let us muster our intellectual resources on mitigations. If other European countries join, Putin may have no option other than to use the nuclear bomb.
- The racialized aspect of this crisis has been so disturbing that I wonder why some of you are focused on the European tribal war. No one assisted us when we were looking for solutions to prevent the break-up of Ethiopia. Who donated to the Hutu and Tutsi? Who assist us with the victims of Boko Haram. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has shown that the people who matter are Europeans and not us. Let us talk about us since they can take care of themselves.
- The ongoing calamity in the Sahel may be far worse than what you see in Eastern Europe. Be warned.
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Matthew 7:5
