Comment
The current unrest involving street violence, looting, arson and destruction of properties must swiftly be brought to and end and all leaders seriously engage in talks leading to looking into political differences, recocilitation and national unity.
To see the crisis continue, so remininicent of the civil unrest of the late 1990's and continuing till mid 2003, will be a disaster for the country akin to falling on its knees again and all the world watching via social media of the wanton destruction of properties and willful theft of properties.
Simply put no good will come of the current unrest, rioting and civil disobedience, please, please, STOP IT.
Yours sincerely
Frank Short
