Absurdistan:
Justice ‘Absurdistan’ style: ‘Twit’ your death!
Justice ‘Absurdistan’ style: ‘Twit’ your death!
Absurdity in the Federal Democratic
Republic of ‘Absurdistan’, aka Ethiopia, is a norm; and not so different is the
way you would witness justice not served for each and all citizen. In “some less absurd states” security for each and all citizen is but the inalienable right of each and all citizen.
When a citizen, (The slain Samuel Awoke in my mind) cries out
loud for help and justice after being beaten by –‘unknown’- hooligans and for the
record...he did so crying for all to see on the social media. Well one would
wonder- ‘in less absurd states’ that the justice system would act to search and apprehend
the ‘hooligans’ and serve justice.
But hey, this is ‘Absurdistan’.
You cry for justice when you are threatened, no
justice.
You cry for justice when beaten, no justice.
You cry for justice and post your wounds on ‘face book’,no justice.
You cry for justice and call for protection, no justice
You cry out through the media for help, no justice
Then, you die at the hands of the –Holigans- still no justice.
You cry for justice when beaten, no justice.
You cry for justice and post your wounds on ‘face book’,no justice.
You cry for justice and call for protection, no justice
You cry out through the media for help, no justice
Then, you die at the hands of the –Holigans- still no justice.
If after all this, the ‘hooligans’
are not apprehended and the justice not served, you just wonder as a citizen of
‘Absurdistan’ that whoever is responsible
for the security of citizens, might be angry at the death of the slain and saying ‘why did the victim not ‘twit’ his death live to us so that we could follow it or share it?
‘Absurd?’ well we are talking about Absurdistan.
The Roman Historian, Tacitus in
his works -The Annals- where he cataloged the voluntary lapses of justice and
the desolation that Roman Empire was festering around its provinces had said
how complicit a system was created to crimes being committed with no justice
served had said: "A shocking crime
was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the
blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all."
If Tacitus was alive today and witnessed
some lapses in serving justice in Ethiopia would he have said different?
