About asabagna
I go by the name of Asabagna Alatentou, "Asa" for short. I took this name as my African/Spiritual name when I went on a pilgrimage to West Africa in 1997. I visited Senegal, The Gambia and Ghana. "Asabagna" means "hunter" and I received that name during a naming ceremony when I visited a village in northern Ghana. "Alatentou" is Mandingo for "God is gracious" and I received that name from a village Griot in Senegal. I was born in England and my parents are of Jamaican heritage. I spent most of my formative years in Jamaica, but grew up primarily in Toronto Canada. I currently live in Ottawa, the national capital of Canada. I am professionally employed, married, 2 wonderful kids and regularly attend a Pentecostal church. I am a born-again Christian. I do not consider myself conservative or liberal, right-wing or left-wing, centrist etc., or any of the multiple categories that society likes to confine and define people by. However, I do have strong views, beliefs and opinions but I also consider myself open to listening and contemplating other viewpoints. I am a firm believer that "if you don't believe in something, you will fall for anything".
Indeed…pictures can say what words could never hope to.
Yes, but it’s not profitable to stop it!
Heart wrenching… somehow donations to organizations that are fighting hunger and famine aren’t enough when the reality of the situation is captured in a photo!
Bro. Amenta, you hit the nail right on the head!
I agree. how can we help stop the suffering
Don’t ask: “Why does God allow this to happen?”
Pray: “God… give me the wisdom and strength to do what I must to stop this from happening?”
A land restoration would help, that is if the fighting would stop.
Actually it wouldn’t take long as one would expect.
A dedicated NGO could do if allowed. A problem because there seems to be no governing body in some places.
