The Impact of the Border War on South African Homes

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Nico Mulder (the author) was a sector/brigade chaplain in the Operational Area of Namibia for six of the thirty years of the war, wherein he accompanied several inland operations as well as transborder operations into Angola as well as the last big operation at Quito Canavale (1987-8).

This book describes the psychological impact on soldiers of the South African Defence Force war in the Operational Area (northern parts of Namibia) and in Angola. The author contracted PTSD and had to deal with the painstaking symptoms thereof. He describes his and so many other soldiers' symptoms after these wars and he is still aware of the fact that most of his fellow soldiers, who suffer from the same symptoms are not yet diagnosed, nor treated.

Recognising the far-reaching impact of military conflicts, families are encouraged to foster environments replete with forgiveness and understanding. Coming together to identify and address the grievances and psychological wounds is not mere reflection; it is an active pursuit of healing. Through shared commitment to empathy and forgiveness, the cycle of conflict and its shadow over future generations can be thoroughly dismantled. This not merely enhances familial emotional wellbeing but seeds a fertile ground for cultivating a culture of peace.

With wars going on in several parts of the world, this phenomenon is very real and should families and governments take note of this very aspect of the mental health of current soldiers and post war veterans over the world.
