RE: Freetown flood and mudslide || Heartbroken
this is a problem common in Africa... bad planning resulting to bad drainage system and relief...
am sure most of the major issues there is where the water will flow past... and no good rapid response in africa..
Africa is full of greed...abuse in homes ( which is why i posted yesterday on absentee husbands on rise...check it out) and corruption... which includes moral corruption.. imagine someone taking videos while people are drowning!
The problem of africa lies not in strong leadership alone but strong institutions which are lacking... i plan to post on the ills of leadership in africa.. i just wish the people of free town success in rebuilding while praying for the repose of the dead souls!
You said it well @kenhudoy. I am originally from Freetown and I know how poor urban planning is a very big problem but the leaders don't prioritize it.
We need to redefine leadership in Africa
Very correct...also women are marginalized in Africa...check out my latest blog post on absentee husbands...regards
