Too much pain in the heart of the youth (#168)
Bad government has cost more harm than good in our beloved country for the past few years, which causes a lot of death and hardship.
Some youth have been addicted to harmful drugs, according to them, they did it to take out the pain of hardship and be jobless off their heads.
It has been rough through these years for our country's people with everyday prices increasing, and youth being jobless.
No price controls in the market, stores, and on street businesses, hunger too much in the country.
People are dying of starvation, which leads some thinking their future is worst for them to stay in Sierra Leone.
Youths think it is better for them to take the highest risk and try to make a better future than to die of hunger and starvation.
Five (5) years ago, a guy by the name call (Mustafa) died trying to live out of Africa and stay in Europe.
According to the news I gather from people, especially his siblings who escape from the same incident.
They were trying to live by using a boat, but it was a plastic boat it got deflected, and every single person got the sink and died.
He was alive because he was captured, beaten, abused, brutalized by some Arab soldiers, and sent back to his country.
All their resources, effort, time, and ambition go in vain, all in the name of making a better life for themselves, family, and their friends.
But all of that did not work, and the young sibling of "Mustafa" has to come back home with pain in his heart.
He came home alone crying, when family and friends saw him, everyone shed tears.
Not just this family of "Mustafa" has suffered such pain, many young guys have left their loved ones in pain to find a way to survive in Europe.
Most of them who are involved in such deadly acts are graduates but have been searching for jobs for a very long time, no jobs.
Moreover, even as I am speaking now, youth are still trying to do the same act to move to Europe.
Because the country's economy is getting tough every day with no hope or better future for the youth.
The most painful thing right now is that youth are dying of taking drugs, deadly drugs, they said it's calmed them down from country stress.
We the youth of Sierra Leone, pleading with the government of Sierra Leone and the International government to have mercy and see what they can do for the young of the country.
If not, there will be a lot of madness and sickness that will slowly kill the future leaders of tomorrow (the youth).
