African Communities Today

Today in our African community the rate of crime is increasing, streets children are increasing as well and we are not attacking the root of this problem but we just condemn this one and the other one without considering the root and attack it.
In the 70-80s when I was growing up to move with a knife was a serious problem with the police and also with our community as well. People who were moving with a knife were considered as criminals and delinquents. But nowadays, some of us we are surprised to see young people moving with these weapons like knives, swords, pistols...
The big problem today in Africa is our leaders. We have a serious problem with out leaders because when they allow the selling of weapons like swords...it means that they officialize the ownership of weapons and they have also to face the consequences.
Today we've delinquent government which are champions in desorders and anarchy.
To the other side there is these failing parents with divorce problem and they cannot raise together children. When two parents divorce, there is a serious problem of education of problem which a single parent have to deal with. God created a man and a woman. There was not a child but when we decide to make a child, we have also to commit ourselves to raise again these or this children or child to educate him or them. Parents are also failing their mission.
Communities are paying the price today because our governments failled and they cannot fulfil their mission. Governments cannot protect their citizens when every years budgets are being allocated to the government for this purpose.
If communities also are suffering it's because of tribalism and regionalism in our countries. We like only our own people fr our tribes and it is very dangerous for the development of these countries we are claiming to be ours. When it comes to choosing leaders, we privileges our tribe instead of our country. Communities must wake up and forget about themselves for the goodness of their countries.
Dear Africans living in this rich continent, let us not be egoist because this is our heritage and the heritage for our children and grand children, we will be accountable of this continent one day; let us be realistic when it comes for choosing leaders and making any decision for our countries and our communities.
