Below is an imaginary dialogue between two Christian Aid workers. One is Christian Aid Coordinator for Africa. The other is a newly appointed leader for the offices working in South Sudan.
The new Leader for the South Sudanese branch (further LSB): – Could you please name some key issues I will have to take care of in South Sudan?
Christian Aid Coordinator for Africa (further CAC): – The situation in South Sudan is becoming more and more difficult after the region proclaimed its independence from Sudan. The government of Sudan is taking severe measures to close borders and armed Sudanese militants are harassing the black Sudanese, forcing them to move to South Sudan. Thousands of people are displaced and have no home or food. The situation is aggravated by the recent drought that destroyed a lot of crops. Our offices in South Sudan have crowds of people coming for food every day.
LSB: – Why can’t we teach refugees good farming skills and provide them with equipment to drill water wells and start farms to grow crops? It is better to teach a man to catch fish than to give it to him every day. He will keep coming back.
CAC: – We were not prepared for the situation we are dealing with now. The country’s administrative bodies are just forming. There are a lot of people in government agencies that are inexperienced or corrupt. Besides, we had several cases of fraud when people took advantage of us. We need to find some proven society leaders we would be able to work through.
LSB: – Can we train some leaders? We could find some locals and work with them as volunteers first and then train them to appoint as our local representatives. This way, ultimately, we would not have to bring Westerners to this county and rely on the local leaders who would know their people and their needs.
CAC: – We are developing a program that, in fact, would be instrumental in the future to develop our programs in South Sudan and, possibly, in the whole region of Africa. It is called “From Child Soldier to Role Model”. Africans use a lot of children in their armies. The South Sudanese were not any different in this respect. They recruited boys from age 12 and older to serve in the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. Some of them are in their twenties now and have no education. All they can do is fighting. Our task is to give them an education and teach them a trade so that they would be able to take care of themselves and would not join guerilla or criminal groups. We have teachers in our training centers who used to be soldiers. Now they teach others and understand the needs and challenges of those boys very well.
An imaginary dialogue between two Muslim Brotherhood leaders somewhere in the Middle East as they are discussing the future of the region.
Leader 1: – We are gaining a lot of respect in Arab countries. The youth is our main target. If we win them over to our ideas, we will run the countries in the next generation.
Leader 2: – We can do that easily in the Muslim world, because we can use poverty to teach them that Western imperialists are stealing from them and exploit our resources to no benefit of our nations.
Leader 1: – People are already upset with our governments because of the present financial crisis. We need to work with the youth from poor areas and educate them with our doctrines. They need believe that our version of Islam is the only true doctrine – Allah is our objective, and jihad is our way and dying in the way of Allah our highest hope. Then we need to support the families of those who died for our ideas so that people here would see that we are the only reliable authority.
Leader 2: – Working in our region is easy. What do you think will work in the West?
Leader 1: – We have to manipulate their democratic values and present our teachings as an “alternative” movement of Islam. We need to work with the mass media and universities, teaching our “moderate” version of the movement and presenting it as a form of liberal Islamic thinking. When we raise local leaders who will speak in our defense, we will be able to change the system.
Two different types of worldview are given above. One is constructive, leading to making positive changes in society. The other is destructive, leading to making society totalitarian and aiming at manipulation of democratic principles. Two opposite types of leaders will produce to opposite results.
