Some people in the world haven’t got access to basic plumbing
for clean drinking water and sewerage. Without
these essentials, health deteriorates. The
superior West has the responsibility, the duty of care to rectify the situation. As it is the west, the Imperials of Europe
that decided to pillage in the global south, it is they who have to bear the
burden of reparations. If not reparations, then out of respect for
human fraternity. A bond, if you may
exists between all humans. It is out of
the bond, that those able should endeavor to uphold the basic rights of every
citizen in this world. It is not asking
too much to deliver taps and toilets and showers for the seven billion in this
world. Without the advanced sciences of
the Northwest, we cannot give taps, and toilets and showers to everyone. While we indulge in lobster and wine, it is
not asking too much from us to limit our consumption so that some poor child in
the Sahara can have access to basic sanitary living conditions.
The body needs to excrete waste. A
toilet is a luxury to a lot people in this world. The
poor have to squat near a river or a tree to do their business. When
they want to go there next, their pile of dodo is still there. This
gets extremely unhealthy from which disease and death occur. Mortality is high and at earlier ages in the
south and east, except for China, Russia, Japan and the small islands of
Singapore and Kuala lampur. It is the access to technology, a language of
the literate. We have to teach them to make their own
infrastructure; however that may take twenty to fifty years as witnessed in the
above-mentioned states, after World War.
We have responsibility to
intervene and negotiate some aid in development, however instead of handing out
cash American dollars, it would be more effective to sent in civilian trades
people to build cities of the future complete with plumbing, electricity, gas,
road, rail, bridges, dams, garbage trucks and hospitals
