THe evil that men do live after them. Since these armed people are becoming a problem, something needs to be done about it . God pay those armed with curses. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but we wrestled against principalities and power in higher places.
And some in our community are still of the opinion that we should dialogue with the terrorist LRC? It is high time that most of us eschew this insane talk before a whole generation of young men in Ambaland are incapacitated or murdered while we spend our time tap dancing around life and dead issues concerning our youths.
Please let your pockets do the talking so that the IG can do something for we cannot letdown our youths for the level of dehumanization they are being subjected to is totally unacceptable.
