We all know that the chicken crossed the road to get to the other side. But what did the chicken want to do on the other side? I think he had the following issues on his mind:
· It wanted to speed up the peace process in “the most dangerous place in the world”- Somalia. Somalia has for decades failed to reach a peace agreement. This has badly affected the food security and poverty in that East African nation. One in six children in Somalia is malnourished
· Support Tendai Biti, Zimbabwe’s new finance ministers revive “the world’s worst economy”. Zimbabwe may soon become part of the South African Rand monetary Union.
· Release more aid to compensate victims of human rights violations such as amputees, rape victims, war widows of Sierra Leone’s 11-year civil war.
· To help stop the spread of cholera in Zimbabwe
· Provide humanitarian and government relief to the people in Karamoja, N.E Uganda. This semi-arid area is plagued with border conflicts, armed cattle raids, among other things and has experienced 14 droughts in 25 years.
· To speed up the clean-up process of the oil spill that occurred in Ongoniland in Nigeria.
· To reach out to the farmers in Guinea that have lost crops and livestock on which thousands depend for food and cash as a result of extreme cold conditions.
· To join the Ghanaian farmers in their demonstrations against cheap rice imports that are destroying their livelihoods.
· And many other issues.
