“Endurance Is Not Enough: The Cost of Unresolved Struggles on Our Future”

Sooner or later, there must be an acceptable solution. Our people have struggled through troubled waters for far too long, and the weight of this unresolved journey is beginning to fall heavily on the shoulders of our younger generations. Years of instability have robbed them of simple opportunities interrupted schooling, limited access to competitive learning, the fear of travelling beyond familiar boundaries. While young people elsewhere focus on careers and growth, ours often grow up negotiating uncertainty instead of possibilities. Economically too, we are stuck in a standstill. Investors hesitate, entrepreneurs are discouraged, and even farmers cannot plan ahead because a normal working day can be disrupted at any moment. This prolonged uncertainty has created a grey zone where people neither feel secure nor free; where children grow up hearing different narratives without ever finding a clear truth. Such an environment slowly erodes identity, confidence, and unity. Yes, we have endured, but endurance without resolution is no longer strength – it is loss. In this long endurance, we have missed out on opportunities, on peace of mind, and on the normalcy that every human being deserves. Our future cannot be built on half-answers and half-peace. It is time for clarity black or white, not endless grey, so our people can finally breathe, grow, and step into the opportunities that have been denied for far too long.
