The world is all the more becoming a global village. We have witnessed how a virus that broke out in Wuhan, China, engulfed the entire world only to wipe out millions. We still don’t know when and where the next pandemic will breakout. One thing we know for sure is that wherever a deadly virus breaks out it is the entire world that becomes the victim. That much has the world become an interconnected and interdependent village. Economic, social and political factors are no longer local issues but global ones. That only calls for those endeavors devised to advance the empowerment of minorities should by necessity be global as well. In that sense all those involved in advancing the rights and empowerment of minorities should also cross the Rubicon to form a minority international. Thank you
