Justice must heal a nation, not become a qeapon of revenge

When every change of government becomes an opportunity to punish former leaders and political opponents, democracy turns into a cycle of fear, retaliation, and survival.

The responsibility before political leaders today is to choose nation-building over score-settling, reconciliation over revenge, and institutions over individuals.

Political power must therefore be exercised with humility, restraint, and a deep understanding that history judges leaders not only by what they achieved, but also by how they treated those who disagreed with them.
