The African Refugee Crisis ( Why we Need Courage and not Cowardise)

Top Stories



The African Refugee crisis is the moral crisis of our century and a moral crisis that needs to end. In a recent election Zimbabwean President Mugabe fraudulently won an election based on violence, fear, and intimidation. While in the Sudan dishonorable dictator Omar Al-Bashir has continued to rule with a murderous iron fist. And they are not alone, another tyrant regime is the nation of Eritrea which is aiding Al-Qaeda group Al-Shabaab and has given safe sancuary to terrorist Shiek Hassan Dahir Aweys. Which by doing so is in absolute, complete, and obvious violation of United Nations Res. 1368. These nations represent a growing threat to all nations of the world. By allowing these bullies to get away with the torture, oppression, and murder of their people the cowards of the world like Russia and China are saying that they care more about trade then they do the people being harmed. By allowing these bullies to continue their dishonorable ways we are saying that they are not accountable for their actions. This ladies and gentlemen must stop. We must stand up to these bullies and bring them to justice and here's how. The world must support the people of these tyrant nations by the following: First, giving the aid only and directly to the people and not the governments. Second, all nations of the World must stop all trade and enact sanctions against these bullies. Third, these bully nations must be banned from all UN committees and the nations of the world must stand united against all tyrants. The solution to this moral crisis is simply one word: "courage". Moral and physical courage to take a stand against Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Eritrea. Because only through our courage to stand up against these bullies will all tyrants know and realize that there is no room on this planet for bullies. So for tyrants Mugabe,Al-bashir, and Afwerki I leave you with these quotes: "Freedom is the natural condition of the human race, in which the Almighty intended men to live. Those who fight the purposes of the Almighty will not succeed. They always have been, they always will be defeated". - President Abraham Lincoln. The final quote is: "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..... We hold these truths to be self evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it.... But when a long train of abuses and usurptions, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them to absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security."- the US Declaration of Independence. In Conclusion we must do all we can including the pressuring of our governments to cut off complete and all ties to these bully nations, and we must let these tyrants know that we will, as Senator McCain said, "make them famous" for their dirty and dishonorable deeds. We must also demand sanctions, political and economic, be placed against bully nations like Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Eritrea. Only through these action will the bullies Mugabe, Afwerki,and Al-Bashir get the message that their days of bullying are over.
