  You said it, Sister. NDC is dragging our young men into an unnecessary conflict with Russia. Woe to them if they send these young people to their deaths. They have failed to deliver on their “one job, three shifts” agenda, and now they seem to be doing everything possible—even sending our youth abroad to fight and die.

  Nkwasiasem. Nobody has forced anybody to go anywhere they don't want to go. There have been repeated horror stories after stories about how people are lured into such stupid wars even at the cost of dying, AND STILL THEY DON'T LISTEN. Do Not Go. Period! Those people don't even like you. Why do you want to be a cannon fodder for somebody's wars?

  And if a government has not investigated these grievances and atrocities BUT rather has gone ahead to sign a seeming legal agreement with Russia for job recruitment, THAT SHOULD BE VERY VERY DISTURBING

  When jobs are advertised anywhere, people apply on their own accord. That is: if you like, apply. If you don't like discard it- Simple as that.
  
  All those who got there and got involved in the war went there as mercenaries just as we have many many Europeans doing on the side of Ukraine.
  
  As a mercenary (normally ex-military servicemen with experience in war), you agree to fight and get paid for that.
  
  NOBODY ON THIS PLANET CAN FORCE YOU TO FIGHT AS MERCENARY.
