A CALL FOR UNITY

A Call for Unity and Healing

__KASSAVA WRITES

Where is the unit we once relied on to share and protect our community? 

Innocent lives are lost each day, and properties are destroyed relentlessly. 

The rich are becoming poor overnight, while the already impoverished sink deeper into despair. Those who once owned beautiful homes now find themselves homeless, often unsure of where to turn.

People are dying in the wilderness—not from gunfire, but from hunger and harsh weather conditions, with nowhere to seek refuge. 

Nkwanta, once a peaceful town where residents lived in harmony, married one another, and shared common religious, social, and political beliefs, has changed dramatically. 

Today, friends are turning against friends, in-laws against in-laws, and neighbors are clashing. Even those who once stood together in faith are now betraying each other—all over disputes regarding land ownership. 

I often wonder: if we continue to kill one another, who will be left to claim the land?

Our true enemy is poverty and underdevelopment in Nkwanta. It is time to lay down our arms and unite against this common foe.

Konkombas, Akyodes, Adeles, and Challas—where has our brotherhood gone? Where are the teachings from our churches and mosques that once brought us together?

Are we truly content with the loss of innocent lives? Are we indifferent to the suffering caused by hunger? 

Many do not even know where to seek help. Let us put aside our weapons.

Tribal conflict solves nothing.
