‘Africa: A Moral Outrage’ – Tony Blair  (Part 1) by Yemi Ogunshola

The black Blues

“Europe is not a bad example of how things can change…Europe was at war; Europe was subject to the most terrible resignation…” Words very well put by Mr. Blair at a world press conference in 2005, to which Good Times International (GTI) was invited.

Europe’s is a history fraught over many centuries with uncertainty. It has endured wars, poverty, and pestilence. Britain has had its share of these, battling internal strife, two world wars, general discontent and hardship. More than once the country has experienced royal discontent as feuds rent apart members of the ruling families, for instance, during the period of the Plantagenets. Nor was the nation exempt from disasters: some 70,000 lost their lives to the famous plague. Then in 1666, as in Nero’s Rome, a great fire seared through the city of London, destroying buildings and sending terror into the hearts of inhabitants. It was, as one historian wrote, ‘…a place of fear and flames.’    

Yet, the people picked themselves up and rebuilt anew, as they did after the terrible destruction of World War II.
