It seems like only yesterday the country's most wanted man promised mayhem, today we are living in anarchy.

It seems like only yesterday government officials were rushing to Lusignan after the deaths of 11, today they boarded boats to Bartica to console the victims of another 13.

What new can the President of this land, who left under the cover of dark moments before the Bartica attack, say to us that can be of some assurance. Can we negotiate some truce here with the gunmen, or declare a state of emergency. Of course, the pack of jacks in the government would cling to power and watch more innocent people die just to fulfill their political endeavors. This is the worst ever state of insecurity.
