Sokwanele is appalled by the attacks on London
July 7th, 2005
Live 8 and the G8 summit ensured that all eyes have been on the UK in the last few days. Especially African eyes, following the efforts of people in the UK to compel the world’s leaders to ‘Make Poverty History’ in Africa.
We are shocked and appalled at the terrorist attacks on London. The attacks seem especially barbaric and selfishly cruel in the face of overwhelming evidence of the desire of hundreds of thousands of decent, generous, warm-hearted people to do whatever they can to improve the lives of millions of the world’s poorest people who have been devastated by poverty.
We, Sokwanele, send our condolences to all the people of London at this frightening time. We encourage them to stand strong in the face of evil and to not let cowardly acts of terrorism destroy their optimism or belief in themselves, their country or their values. We are right behind you in spirit.
Our deepest sympathies go to the families of those who have been killed or injured in the blasts.
