We must be angry and translate this into positive energy, being part of a community, family, etc. We need unity to show them that by diverse groups coming together, we can create a greater whole; we can be the beacon that illuminates their darkness. Together, we will prevail. What we should not do is give in to doom and gloom.

This is not a virtual fight; we need feet on the ground, marching in peaceful protest and resistance. I cry for the Western World; who could imagine we would be in this place? However, saying this, the signs were always there. It was graphically visible, but many ignored it because it was not knocking at their doors. They associated it with others, so they naturalised this as an intrinsic component of the others’ nature. Hope is a beacon of light around which we can all unite.

It starts with the individual, moves to the family, and then to the community. This is the only way to achieve lasting unity.

This is what they always wanted. Recent events were proof that they could flout international laws with impunity. In the same way, they seek to create a condition of war to get rid of the ‘so-called undesirables’, the refugees, the migrants, the blacks, the trans and queers. As history has taught us, they will not stop there.
