Many people in industrialized countries worldwide think that a country’s military might defines it as great. However, I hold a different view; I firmly think that a nation’s greatness is determined by its capacity to promote national harmony and avert war, not by its military might.
The world is suffering from wars, which are taking their toll on humanity. However, many don’t even know that these wars can be avoided, though. These conflicts are caused by a variety of factors, including greed, arrogance, and the desire to dominate and control the world.
Everyone is bragging about their weaponry and military capabilities, but frequently, this verbal boasting turns into actual action. Yesterday it was Russia and Ukraine, and today it is Israel and Iran. Who knows what comes next?
The world is advancing rapidly due to the effects of modern technology. In the past, the US government could simply devise a scheme to accuse an African leader of accumulating wealth while denying the people food.
The US military-backed coup to overthrow the African government comes next. However, today, Africans no longer support this fallacious US policy. When the United States wrongly accused the leader of Burkina Faso of accumulating a fortune and starving his people, the world stood up for Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
The Russian-Ukrainian and Israel-Iran wars are not Africa’s fault, but the Black Continent bears the brunt of their effects. Although the accusations are denied, legitimate papers frequently blame Western nations and the US government for coups and political instability on the African continent.
However, the political situation in Burkina Faso is France’s fault. After successfully assassinating Thomas Sankara, the former colonial master now wishes to try on Ibrahim Traoré.
World leaders should recognize the effects of war on mankind, including the destruction of the economy, the displaced people and refugees, environmental catastrophes, and the disruption of global stability, rather than displaying their incompetence to stop conflicts.
Honoring the lifelong efforts of John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, for promoting world peace, the world doesn’t need leaders who are intent on using war to prove their superiority. We don’t need war; all we are saying is give peace a chance. The wars are enough; enough is enough!
