WHY NOT SIMPLY ANNOUNCE AN AUSTERITY PACKAGE?
Things have gone crazy all over the place. We woke to news one morning that after months of underground sabre-rattling and public denials, Russia had indeed invaded Ukraine in an operation they titled SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION. A huge Pandora’s Box was now open. The rest they say is history because we are living with the consequences of how the Western world reacted.
TAX MAN MAKES TRIUMPHANT ENTRY INTO KENEMA…AND THEN…
We know that the Green Movement is trying hard to suppress what happened in the last few days at their party office in Kenema. We absolutely understand why they would try to do that but maybe they should simply let the natural mystic flow because it’s impossible to keep anything a secret for long these days. That’s just what the world has turned into.
SLPP “STRANGERS” AND GRASSROOTS GREEN POLITICS
Many SLPP activists are trying to come to terms with the new cabinet just put in place by Principal following his reelection. On social media some have gone as far calling a good many of those appointed as ministers and deputy ministers as STRANGERS. In other words they have never been part of the struggle of the party to win power in 2018 and retain it in 2023. They cannot now understand how the people under the radar found their way into those big offices of state.
MANY BIG GUYS MISSING FROM RUSSIA-AFRICA SUMMIT
We are not here to do a roll call. We are here to simply say that Vladimir Putin is a disappointed man because many African leaders have stayed from his showpiece Russia-Africa summit. The strongman of Russia wanted to use this event to flex his muscles on the world stage and tell the West that besides them there are many other countries to deal with. Russia has been heavily sanctioned by the West because of their so-called Special Military operation in Ukraine.
