Good.It is time for the UN to realise who the enemy to global peace is.Not a pastorialist somewhere in Kenya.Not poor Somalis trying to make ends meet in their own country.Not Syrians who are defending their sovereignty against foreign interventions.
It is America,Britain and France that are causing wars and displacements in the name of oil,timber,cocoa,minerals and natural gas.
Did they build back what they destructed in Iraq and Libya?Aren't those refugees a result of the West?
The UN,knowing its financial standings,went on to authorise the West to commit violence that saw those people in the refugee camps.So why cry,instead of asking Ban Ki Moon to go back to his bosses and ask 'what now?'
