Jeremiah is a sage with a job that many people envy, even though hardly anyone understands the true nature of the burden the occupation heaps on his soul.

Joseph needs a lifeline. His earlier life as the inheritor of a legacy that involved wealth, power and goodness has been tainted by his embrace of evil, which leaves death and grief in its path. He knows what he is about to face and thinks that Jeremiah, a man ...

There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being the real thing, the true inheritor of a legacy, the upholder of the identity others strive to be attached to. In this account, we see two narratives that oppose one another, but that ought to complement each other. How do a people so divided by history embrace their common heritage or denominator as the children of Kievan Rus, but who later became known as the frontier people (Ukrainians)? "The Real Ukrainians" is the first part of an account that would take us hand-in-hand through our journey that would make us enlightened regarding the ...

“The Ancestry Factor in American Elections” is a pathbreaking work that shows us the least-talk-about aspect of the American demographic makeup, which though complex in itself, provides a unique insight into how elections are won and lost in the United States of America. We find that this curious aspect of ancestry is something the news media deliberately or unknowingly fail to dwell on, focusing instead on the economic, political, and specific social agendas of the forces that are bent on molding society, the state, and the world. In a seemingly effortless manner, this work reveals the...

Historians look at the period from the birth of Jesus Christ known as the Common Era (C.E) or “In the Year of Our Lord” (Anno Domini — A.D) to the Muslim conquest and consolidation of the Levant as the most tumultuous for the Hebrew peoples (Jews and Samaritans) of the Holy Land during the last two millennium until their plight was rivalled by the pogroms and Holocaust of the last century. How did the introduction of multiple monotheistic religions into the quagmire that was the multi-ethnic southern Levant shatter the idyllic illusions that the Roman Empire and later the Byzantine ...

Ningún continente ha experimentado la mitad de asesinatos políticos, golpes de estado, guerras internas y externas, disturbios civiles y trastornos económicos desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX que África. Sin embargo, casi ningún experto serio diría que las manos de las fuerzas extranjeras que están dispuestas a asegurar sus "supuestos intereses" en el continente o que quieren ganar nuevos intereses, no estaban en la mayoría de estos reveses. Que estas fuerzas externas hayan tenido éxito con la ayuda de los africanos con la disposición malvada o los africanos que ignoran su plan...

Desafiando la propaganda, permaneciendo indiferente a las ...

Cameroon is the only country in Africa where those who campaigned, fought and died for the country's freedom and independence from colonial rule have never made it to power, where the ideas and ideals of these union-nationalists are still being suppressed by the unpopular system the colonial master put in place in the country after defeating these civic-nationalists in a bloody war variously described as France’s genocidal war in Africa. This retarding French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, corruption, underdevelopment, dictatorship, despondence, and cynicism, thereby...

For a people that lost more than half a million lives in a liberation struggle for the independence and reunification of their country yet failed to shake off the oppressive external forces who allowed self-rule and reunification of British Cameroons and former French Cameroun but put their puppets in power in a so-called independent Cameroon, this country known as “Africa in Miniature” is an Orwellian reality. It is hard for a non-Cameroonian mind to imagine that there are tidy solutions or pithy fixes to the big challenges in overcoming the reactionary forces responsible for ...

Dubbed by many pundits as “The Most Stupid War in the World,” the Ukraine conflict is one that hardly anyone saw coming back in 2010. However, it is close to a decade old already. In this conflict in the evenly divided Ukraine, brinkmanship by the local players in the country, by the West that wants to drag Ukraine into its orbit, and by Russia that fears losing Ukraine and its security in the process, is the norm. At the same time, the world watches in a seemingly helpless manner as Ukraine gets torn apart at the seams. Most of the governments in the West blame Russia for instigating ...
