RE-LEARNING SOCIAL INJUSTICE (JUSTICE)

Image
Social Justice is a word I first picked from public space. Typically used by a lot of public commentators in the media within our clime. Most of them just assume the listening public understands the meaning. So they often hardly define or explain the word. You could look it up for various dictionaries definition. I will do more to simplify its explanation by basic illustration. Particularly to explain it as; INJUSTICE so that we see more need for functional Justice in every sane society, to ensure law and order, peace and productive progress.

NIGERIAN AIR WAR IN SIERRA LEONE - from the cockpit of an Aggressor.

Image
Global war, conflicts and crisis seems to loom across all continents with an aftermath of unimaginable woes. The effect takes almost a lifetime to overcome sparing none on its part of destruction, not lives, not properties. Ever so often, the discuss hinges on the devastation brought on unarmed civilians, women and children, and the aged especially, however one class of victims are left catered for. These are the ones who take up the gallant responsibilities of securing the lives and properties of the whole, at the expense of theirs. Those who dare to look the enemies in the eyes....the Armed Forces. No one ever hears their stories, sometimes because the ethics of their profession does not allow for disclosure, other times, because they dare not recount in their minds the horrific experiences.
