Our stories and activities just turn a blind eye to what is happening live as we speak at shiroro villages, social feeds are full of jokes, sports scores, fashion shoots and celebrity gossip who is the most dressed, who spend more money on beaded dresses. We post pictures in designer clothes while mothers in Shuru dig graves for their children. We argue about a football match while entire villages flee into the bush. Because it doesn’t affect us directly, we scroll past the carnage.
Pause the entertainment. Stop the laughter. These images are real. They could be your children. Please look, feel the pain, and refuse to let mass murder become background noise. Demand that our leaders act. Use your platforms to amplify the voices from Shiroro Please??? This is happening now as we speak
