Brigadier General (Rtd) Joseph Nunoo-Mensah has expressed deep concern about the state of the world, saying global violence and moral decline trouble him more than his own old age.
Speaking on The KSM Show monitored by MyNewsGh, the former National Security Advisor to late President John Evans Atta Mills said he has reached a point of personal peace but feels worried about the world younger generations are inheriting.
“I am almost 90 years old. My life is coming to an end, whether I like it or not,” he said. “But what worries me is those I am leaving behind. How are they going to cope with this mad world?”
Nunoo-Mensah said recent global conflicts show how dangerous the world has become. He cited violence in Gaza, Lebanon, and other parts of the world as signs of rising instability.
“The world I came to meet was not like this,” he said. “Today, the world is very nasty. Very, very nasty.”
Despite these concerns, the retired general said he has found peace within himself. He recalled a moment when he slept deeply for hours and felt completely calm.
“I told myself, if death is like this, then I want to die now,” he said. “I was so much at peace with myself.”
However, he stressed that his calm does not erase his worries about the future, especially for young people growing up in a violent and confused world.
