cripples. an estimated 50,000 evacuees will not have homes to return to, their houses razed, damaged, or looted. if relocated, a loss of livelihood is foreseen.
mourners. more than a hundred lives were snatched and death did not discriminate, collecting from the security forces, the rebels, and even the innocent non-combatants.
thieves.
aid, in cash and kind, from local and international donors, are continuously pouring in. yet, in the midst of relief operations, some stockpile and some sell, some live in luxury and some [will] line their pockets money not meant for them, some evacuees get too much (aid and attention) while some go hungry (for aid and attention).
i’m already against the next war. and no, the #zambocrisis is not over yet. smoke still clouds that patch of sky and tens of thousands are still in evacuation centers.
