As I was plodding back to the office at lunchtime, I came across this sticker on the back of a motorbike.
"What a lame sticker!" I instinctively thought, then paused mentally.
What actually is peace? In Ghana, we like to bandy it around a lot, but what's really our conception of it?
Martin Luther King said long ago that "peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice".
Where's our water justice? electricity justice? road traffic justice? political party justice? social justice? police justice?
Sometimes, I wonder about the last part.
