In a world where the scales of justice are often tilted, a recent meeting brought to light the rank hypocrisy that shrouds international diplomacy. The convening nation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, stands accused as the planet's leading sponsor of terrorism, a title it wears with appalling pride. This meeting was a theater of the absurd, where the sponsor of barbarism had the audacity to discuss peace and security.
How often do we ponder the weight of freedom? Do the words carry the same weight in our hearts as they do in others? Have we felt their absence, witnessed their sudden vanishing act? The history of Africa is riddled with such tales, each marked by a year and a country, where the colors of daily life are obscured by the dust of tyranny.
