Remaining sane in an increasingly insane world, By Owei Lakemfa

Owei Lakemfa’s commentary addresses the global implications of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime passage that previously facilitated the transit of one-fifth of the world's oil supply. The author notes that prior to the conflict between the United States and Iran, the strait accommodated between 100 and 140 commercial vessels daily.

The piece highlights the inability of the United States to restore transit through this vital artery over a six-month period. Lakemfa characterizes the reopening of the strait as a primary concern for global stability, framing the ongoing disruption as a significant challenge to international commerce and humanitarian interests.
