Children, often burdened by the weight of long distances, embark on arduous journeys to access educational facilities, a fundamental right that should be readily available to all.
In a society where vocal dissent against governmental policies is met with silencing, peaceful protests are not allowed.

Meanwhile, the harsh taxation policies imposed on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) cast a long shadow on our local businesses, threatening their survival and stifling the seeds of innovation that could blossom into a thriving economy.
Trust has eroded into a fragile thread among individuals, families, and communities, fraying at the edges. The faith we once held in some of our religious, community, and traditional leaders has dimmed, leaving a vacuum of guidance and direction.
The high rate of corruption and the community drug trade threaten the safety of our people.
The staggering rates of underemployment and unemployment among our youth represent a crisis that threatens the very fabric of our nation’s future. Simultaneously, the shortcomings of our educational system raise urgent alarms, casting doubt on the potential of the coming generations.
While we have often welcomed foreign nationals into vital roles within our national security and various sectors, we continuously avert our gaze from the pressing issues that jeopardise our country’s future.
Politics and emotional turbulence have clouded our judgment, obscuring the clarity needed to engineer solutions to our most pressing communities #amf06
