Burundi floods: Government and UN appeal for humanitarian aid


In Burundi almost a hundred thousand people have been displaced by the months of rainfall that has hit East Africa. The government and UN have appealed for aid and say nearly three hundred thousand people are in need. The El Nino driven rain has been falling since early September.

  1. It is not the rain that is the problem. It is a lack of waterworks infrastructure. Canals, drainage facilities, ditches, waterrunoff planning etc etc. Hundreds of things to do with excess water, it's a blessing! Except for the unprepared.

  2. Why do so many poor countries, who openly dispise western countries, always beg for aid from the vety countries that they hate, when disaster strikes. And when things have calmed down then they become anti wesr again. Stop sending aid. These people need to learn how to stand on their own

  3. Let the waters come.

    They are coming and will wash away the sins of the people. The people, in their millions and millions laying bare the land with grazing animals, laying empty the oceans with nets cast far and wide and even cast off to entangle all innocent life beneath it.

    The waters are coming and will continue to come and will touch everywhere. Let nothing go untouched and no sins unwashed. As He knelt to wash the feet of the beggars, so now Nature will wash away Humanities sins and excesses.

    We were once a simple few, just enough to cast a shadow on one place in ten thousand. Now we are many and so full with emptiness and hopelessness and longing for things we can not make or should not seek. The world was clean and pure once when Man was young and he had no way to harm even the trees around him. The trees were our home and brought all manner of goodness. But we could not leave well enough alone and had to change things to suit our yearnings for comfort and status. We should have stopped when we were young.

    But now the water is coming and it is not going to stop until all our sins are washed clean and the world then can heal and someday return to balance and harmony.
