Conflicts all Around
There is a simple saying/proverb in West Africa:
"When two Brothers fight, Strangers always reap the harvest"
Why are there conflicts all over the world, particularly amongst people of the same origin or background or from the same country?
- Hamas & Fattah in Palestine.
- Lebanese in-fighting
- Sunni & Shia in Iraq
Now the most terrifying are the in-fightings in Serria Leone, Ivory Coast, Somalia etc. Most of these over political control.
I have just seen the film "Blood Diamond" and it brings home these senseless crisis and makes the above proverbs reviberatingly true and real.
