#why

So, the #ants this evening have a question. I'm not sure what the question is, but they are keen to make sure I know they have one. Maybe their question is just "#Why?" And in the times we live in, I suppose it is a question shared by us all.

#Sudan #Why?

Can you cope with another world crisis ?
Some history: there was a popular rebellion against the dictator Bashir, followed by a civilian government. Which was toppeled by an army coup. That was another beginning of a very bloody civil war. Very fast it became a proxy war.
A proxy for/by other dictators, arab and chinese. Arms dealers found a rich trading ground.
It became a testing ground for the Military Industrial Complex.

Watch the reporting and the following discussion by Al Jazeera:

The United Nations has called this the most devastating humanitarian and displacement crisis in the world.
Killings, rapes and famine are affecting millions of people. What will happen to the people of Sudan if things don't change? And why is this crisis being mostly ignored by the international community?

Ok, so there are two things I've noticed on TV that bothers me, and that I've seen a few times lately:

1. Why do people on TV never lock their car, but almost always unlock it?

2. Why do people order food in a restaurant or diner before or during a conversation, and then leave before receiving the order, or after just one bite? Who does that?! And who's paying?
