A moment of tranquility seems unattainable. Heart-wrenching headlines continuously haunt us, stimulating widespread distrust in the people meant to uphold humanity and represent their nation’s best interests.
Mr. Griffiths’ OPED stood out because his candor explores a multifaceted issue in grounding and hopeful manners. His words bring to light truths that expose the facade of governments, where systemic neglect leaves the most vulnerable to suffer in silence.
Despite the U.N.’s efforts to aid the hardship of millions of people, they continue to live in famine. I was disheartened to read about the budgetary discrepancy between the funds required for international humanitarian assistance compared to the insufficient “43 percent” delivered today.
Due to the lack of accountability in world leaders’ actions, they continue to serve their egotistical agendas, failing to consider how catastrophic their actions are globally. They are spared from knowing what helplessness feels like or taking their final breaths today.
Why should we witness a person like Mr. Griffith, with vast experience in humanitarian affairs, step down from a position that facilitates many aid projects? Why don’t we see world leaders utilize diplomacy as a means to step down from causing havoc, or attempting to compromise to end this widespread suffrage?
Today’s politicians: I urge you to ponder how you want to be portrayed in the history books.

I believe that it is essential to use our voices to empower others and promote principles that will make us more united, compassionate, and just, and that requires keeping those who fail to uphold these ideals accountable.
