LETTER TO A PRESIDENT - OBAMA

Dear Mr President,
Please allow me to register my appreciation to you and your governments in addressing the EBOLA scourge. Let me also in haste apologise for impinging on your busy scheduled. Mine is prompted by the disaster that continues to take lives in my country Sierra Leone.
Mr President you will agree with me and if I'm not mistaken you've acknowledged that the scourge of EBOLA is a threat to international security. What that means Sir is that no one in our global system is safe. Agreed, then, measures have got to be taken to address what is gradually turning into Armageddon.
Sir, as know EBOLA is destroying lives, homes and it's becoming a generational issue - the very existence of the future generations in countries in the West African Sub-Region - Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are at crossroads.
Thus, more is required from the international community to stop the scourge. If we agree that EBOLA is a threat to world peace, then would it not be prudent sir the Security Council of the UN evoked Chapter vii provisions - specifically Article 39.
Sir, through your good office and what you stand for - justice and peace to all nations, I'm appealing you to you to use your good office in mobilising nations to fight EBOLA epidemic. For the people of that region, the Ebola scourge is a third world war and therefore it will be prudent everything is done to stop it.
Thanking you in advance for helping to save Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Yours sincerely

Mohamed Yongawo
London
