Human civilization has come of age. Today, we enjoy unprecedented comfort and convenience compared to our predecessors a couple of centuries ago. Yet, human relationship, like animals in the wild, has largely remained primordial in nature. Regardless of the narratives and justifications, brutal methods are still in use to dominate weaker people and societies to unscrupulously access their resources and usurp power for territorial control and/or influence to survive and thrive. Those who accumulate more resources, climb higher up the societal dominance hierarchy which further guarantees access to more resources and power. The struggle is endless!This poetry book, The Endless Wars, is a “must read book!”. The author, David Lubari Biar Lominyo, based on his experience living through numerous civil wars in his own country, the Republic of South Sudan, as well as his long international humanitarian experience working in armed conflict situations in Africa and the Middle east, presents powerful, immersive poetic reflection of brutal action of man in armed conflict environment. He poetically and emotionally highlights the struggles, and the cries of vulnerable people. He further reflects on the determination of nations such as Ukraine now, fighting for freedom against external invasion. Lubari notes that where poor people have struggled and installed a democratically elected government in power, the primordial instinct of the leaders, colluding with the unfair world, may still take advantage of the unequal power relationship with their impoverished population. He offers tools for peace building and leadership skills to improve on societal stability and performance.
David Lubari Biar Lominyo, born in 1968, is a South Sudanese international humanitarian worker. He has mainly worked in Africa and the Middle East. He attended Kizibu Primary School in the Republic of Uganda while in refuge; Yei-two Primary School; Yei-boys Intermediate School; Juba Day Secondary School; the University of Juba in the Republic of South Sudan; and the University of Khartoum in the Republic of the Sudan.
Lubari attributes his poetic and storytelling skills to his early childhood in a biodiverse rural context and the evening fireplace folklore stories told mainly by his mother, Martina Gire. The many civil wars in his country and his long experience working in armed conflict and natural disaster contexts have given him insights into the suffering of the people.
