You know where I live: Come and arrest me if my articles are false

 

Joel Savage faces challenges as an African writer residing in Europe

I grant the right to be arrested by any government or organization that believes my articles are untrue or propagate false information. You know where I reside, so it is quite simple to arrest me.

 

We live in a society where colonial masters don’t feel sorry for the crimes they have committed either in Africa or against humanity in Africa. One is so proud that he has built a statue and named streets after one of the perpetrators.

 

They are happy and never feel sorry or worried about their actions; however, they would rather find it disturbing and threatening when someone questions them about their actions.

 

People fail to understand that you can take a horse to the riverside to quench its thirst, but the animal will refuse to drink water if not thirsty. Living in Europe as an African writer doesn’t mean I will join European writers or journalists to engage in misleading news.

 

Africa, as a continent, has suffered enough politically, physically, and medically, but the truth has never been told. I can’t save the world or change the minds of institutions, governments, and the rich people ruining the continent after stealing from Africa.

 

However, I have a role to play to make things straight that we have been deceived and greedy, and the love for money is both destroying the world and humanity, and I don’t want to be part of it.

 

I have a family I think of and always pray for them to be responsible people in society. That’s my prayer for everyone, too. However, if you don’t want to change and continue to live your wicked ways, I will not force you to live a better life, but please, don’t force me to be like you.

 

I am an African writer who has been living in Belgium for the past twenty-five years and has never been convicted of any crime. However, I have suffered every injustice and abuse of authority more than a professional criminal because of the truthful nature of my articles.

 

I am officially declaring to the authorities that if they believe my articles are false or misleading, they have the right to arrest me since they know where I live.

 

I can’t force any search engine to promote my articles since they hate the truth, but I will not be silent when they sabotage every effort I make to let readers get access to my articles.
