We all should support the call for the peace and a call to stop the senseless killing. These actions affect not only the families that suffer from the lost of family members but affects the entire country especially the younger generation.
ReplyDeleteThese criminals should be stopped quickly. This could only be done if we work as one and support the joint services as they work assiduously to contain and stop them. Lots of finger pointing have been done and has just caused further disappointing acts of violence and disbelief that the Govt. cannot handle the situation.
People need to realize that these acts of violence increases the chance of being attacked by bringing more fear into the community causing the criminals to fell more feared. PLEASE LET US WORK TOGETHER.
