THIS IS LAGOS: A CRIME DRAMA IN URBAN AFRICA
The rich history of genocides does not show us combination like the one we
have today:
1) Overwhelming evidence of intent broadcast and available to everyone on
instant communication devices (phones, tablets, computer) and based on a
messianic model of chosenness linking to biblical mythologies of conquest
of Canaan, wiping out other nations etc
2) Wanton destruction of people and their livelihood. Destroying all their
means of livelihood denying them food, medicine, water, fuel etc. Man made
famine of thsi scale and meanness never happended before. Addedto direct
bombing of civilians, hundreds die daily and so far 1 in 20 people in Gaza
iskilledorn injured.
3) Wanton destruction of property to make life unnlivable even after the
genocide stops. 70% of all building are destroyed so far: homes hopsitals,
mosques, churches, civil defence, police buildings, water facicilities,
trees etc
4) Wanton attack and destruction of humanitarian aid organizations and
their facilities(e.g. the UN agencies)
5) Never in history do we see such division between the wishes of hundreds
