The Endless Wars
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.

From Wireless Light to Radio One and Two
If one were to travel in time between 1951 and 1992 without being aware of it, one would see little resemblance between the 1951 BBC Light Programme and Radio One or Radio Two post-1992. However, despite these differences, the 1951 BBC Wireless Light Programme and the post-1992 Radio One and Two are essentially the same radio station.The changes over the years have been gradual and incremental, with no closures or creation of new stations. The most distinct change occurred on September 30th, 1967, when the names changed to numbers and the Light Programme split into two.
