The spirit of Ubuntu saw one African Country after another being supported in defeating colonialism and imperialism. It is the same spirit that has now to be embraced to defeat ignorance. It is now clear that African children are on their own as the world ignores the plight of vulnerable children being burned and eviscerated like animals. Where is the support all those world leaders that gathered after Charlie Hebdon?
Where is the consensus in condemnation? Does it take another Rwanda to append a human value to an African child? Or is it because it's black on black? African leadership itself should lead from the front. It is not only Zimbabweans that are victims of this primitivism. It is Africans in general. Where is the African solidarity?
If African leadership cannot lead from the front on this then woe unto us Africans. For we will never have African solutions to African problems. That will remain a myth to be bequeathed to future generations. The African Child is crying for their African Leaders to stand up and be counted. If Soweto and Sharpeville were atrocious, so are the Xenophobic Uprisings.
Cry the beloved continent.
