One African proverb that resonates with me is:

"When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers."

This proverb, originating from East Africa, highlights the consequences of conflict and power struggles among those in positions of power. It reminds us that often, it is the vulnerable and innocent who bear the brunt of these conflicts.

I find this proverb thought-provoking and poignant, encouraging us to consider the impact of our actions on others and to strive for empathy and understanding.
