The failures of successive governments, particularly in African, Arab, Asian and Caribbean (AAAC) countries has for many decades left people from these communities almost irreversibly disadvantaged in their human rights to the basic necessities of life; housing, education, employment, health infrastructures etc, in juxtaposition with their contemporaries in western countries.
Historically, in order to create a level playing field, the system of government as practised today is an agreement between the ruled and their rulers to mitigate the magnitude of uneven happiness in the society. The advantages of organised government was sold as an idea more effective than the state of nature. Centuries after, what a fraud that has proven to be. Prior to organised government, the ruled wielded authority while the rulers were messengers, its the other way round today. One can rightly say that while the state of nature may have been a state of war, it was war amongst the people. In contrast, organised government is a state of war by the rulers upon the ruled. Simply put, a government that fails to safeguard the lives of its people by way of providing healthcare, education, housing, jobs and security is waging a war on its own people.
Sadly, many from the geographic boundaries aforementioned are “racing” away from their governments. Even more sadly, the emigration of highly gifted, skilful, trained and qualified people have become the brain drain from those nations to western nations; the loss of the former is the gain of the latter. Past and present leaders have ensured the fortunes of their countries will perpetually never be turned around. The resultant of the failings of successive governments to address the push and pull factors of under-development, but instead, corruption becomes the norm, mediocre the status quo, the people are persistently being annihilated – a seismic betrayal of the social contract in (AAAC) countries.
It's only fair to share...
