The eyes of the world are fixated on the conflict taking place in Ukraine. And for good reason. It is a bloody, heart-breaking circumstance facing millions of people in a country that did not seek to engage in a battle with its Russian neighbour.We do not seek in any way to diminish the suffering on these people. For though we are situated at different corners of the earth we share some striking similarities in our national colours and symbols and our desire to exist in a democracy.We pray for a resolution that saves the innocent from further harm, but we have a duty to also address issues that impinge on the survival of our citizens.
