MH370 Mystrey. Whose concern is it anyway?

It is just over a month after the disappearance of the Malaysian airplane the MH370 which carried more than 200 people and the airline attendants. the whole world has joined in the never ending search of a more than 217,000 sq. km area in the Indian ocean. The search for this Boeing 777 has touched the lives of many and also united enemy states and countries who have joined together to find the ultimate truth about the where about of the huge bird of the sky.

The main question that remains with all of us is : should we be concerned as the citizens of the world? When looking at the issue  from the perspective of an ordinary South African who perhaps have never been exposed to an aeroplane or an airport for that matter, it is difficult to answer this question because  I would be looking at the issue as something that does not exist in my world. However this perspective is different when looking at the broader issue of its effect to the world and the also the effect to the relation between Malaysia and other countries.

 The families of more than 200 people who are spending sleepless nights thinking about their loved ones and their whereabouts which has lasted over a month now is an absolute trauma for them and their relatives and friends. These are ordinary people like me and you who their daily occupations has been affected just because someone wants to settle his political score with the Malaysian government but affecting innocent people in the same time.

Many people have come with different theories which are however not solving the problem yet brushing the skin of what seems to be the real problem that has resulted in the disappearance of flight MH370: That is Terrorism. This is a new phenomenon that is has invaded the 21st century and is increasing as fast as the virus in the computer. In just under the year we will be joining our colleagues for community services and in future some of us have desires of pursuing their careers over seas and including countries like Malaysia, Japan and the USA.This means one way or the other we are either directly or indirectly affected by terrorism hence my earlier statement : Whose concern is it anyway?

The disappearance of MH370 should not only be a concern to families of victims or the government of Malaysia. However this should be a cause for concern to each and every citizen of the world as this thing is the first of it's kind since the invention of the airplanes but it is indeed not the last. Nobody no one when the next plane will disappear and who will be the unlucky person in the plane that day. Terrorism was invented by people and it can be put to a stop by people united and speaking one voice. Therefore it is important to raise our voice and rebuke this demonic phenomenon in our midst.

Wishing the Malaysian navy,Australia and the rest of the countries involved  and all the countries involved a successful search in finding the bodies of those who disappeared.
