Osmund Agbo: War's True Toll Is Human Suffering, Not Victories

In a philosophical opinion piece, author and medical doctor Osmund Agbo argues that war's cost is measured not in victories but in human suffering: mothers who forget laughter, children learning sirens before names, cities turned to ash. He contends that power has limits—citing how cheap drones can undermine mighty armies—and criticizes aging leaders who speak of annihilation as strategy, asking, 'Is this how Armageddon begins?' Agbo describes the Strait of Hormuz as a 'Strait of Hubris' where arrogance chokes commerce, and declares that war is 'an admission that imagination has failed.' He concludes that without justice, every victory is temporary. Agbo is the author of 'Black Grit, White Knuckles' and recently released 'Pray, Let the Shaman Die' and 'Ma’am, I Do Not Come to You for Love.'
