ENOUGH IS ENOUGH — ZAMBIANS, LET US WAKE UP 🇿🇲😥
Enough is enough.
Zambians, Zambians, Zambians… where is our Ubuntu? Where is the love, respect, compassion and humanity that once made us proud to say “One Zambia, One Nation”?
It is honestly becoming so shameful to tell an outsider, “I am a Zambian.” 😥🇿🇲 Not because I am ashamed of my country, but because of what we are becoming as a people.
Zambia was known for peace, Ubuntu, hospitality and unity. But today, we are increasingly divided by politics, tribalism, hatred and intolerance. We insult one another, disrespect one another and sometimes celebrate when another Zambian is suffering simply because they belong to a different political camp.
And now we have reached a point where people are making memes about the dead and making fun of those who have lost their lives. 💔
When did we lose our humanity?
How can someone's death become entertainment simply because that person supported a different political party or held a different opinion? Regardless of political affiliation, a dead person deserves dignity and respect.
We may disagree with someone while they are alive, but death should remind us of our humanity—not become an opportunity to mock, celebrate or humiliate them.
How did we get here?
How can we call ourselves one nation when we can no longer tolerate each other's opinions? How can we speak about peace while allowing political differences to destroy our relationships and communities?
Why are we watching things fall apart around us and pretending as though everything is normal? Why are innocent souls being lost? Why are innocent people being jailed? Why are some citizens becoming afraid to speak their minds?
Politics should never make us lose our humanity.
We can support different political parties and still respect one another. We can disagree politically without becoming enemies. We may support different leaders, belong to different tribes or come from different regions, but at the end of the day, we are still Zambians.
Our diversity should be our strength, not the reason we hate one another.
We need to stand for one another and defend one another—not because we belong to the same political party, tribe or region, but because we are one people under one Zambian flag. 🇿🇲
When one Zambian is hurting, we should care. When one Zambian is being silenced, we should speak up. When one Zambian faces injustice, we should not look away simply because we disagree with them.
Today it may be someone else. Tomorrow, it could be you.
Sometimes I ask myself: Is this another independence that we must fight for as Zambians?
If we must stand up again, then let us stand for freedom, justice, truth, peace and human dignity. Let our voices be heard, but let us not answer oppression with violence or hatred. Let us be courageous without destroying each other.
I am speaking as a young male Zambian youth who genuinely cares about the future of this country. Born Zambian, raised Zambian, and I will die Zambian. 🇿🇲
I am ready to stand for my country. I am ready to speak for those who feel voiceless. I am ready to defend what is right—but I refuse to hate another Zambian simply because we disagree politically.
Because when all the political battles are over, we will still have to live together.
Presidents will change. Governments will change. Political parties will come and go.
But Zambia will remain. 🇿🇲
I love Zambia, and that is exactly why this hurts me.
I want to be able to proudly tell an outsider, “I am Zambian,” and have those words immediately remind them of a peaceful, united and compassionate people.
So let us bring back Ubuntu.
Let us bring back respect.
Let us reject tribalism and political hatred.
Let us reject division, intolerance and the celebration of another person's suffering.
Let us remember that our fellow Zambian is not our enemy.
And above all, let us remember that even in death, every human being deserves dignity.
I am Zambian, and I want to be proud of saying it again. 🇿🇲❤️
ONE ZAMBIA. ONE NATION. ONE PEOPLE. 🇿🇲
May God protect Zambia, protect every innocent citizen, comfort every grieving family, and heal the divisions among us. 🙏🏽🇿🇲
