We Draw Gov’t Attention to The Nimba Situation

THE COMMERCIAL CITY of Ganta, Nimba County is said to be unconsciously
hosting threats of violence in the face of the reported resolve by the Mandingoes
to forcefully claim areas they say belong to them before the sadistic intervention
of the deadly civil war.
THE FEAR PERMEATING over Ganta may certainly touch all well-meaning Liberians
because we, as citizens can define violence in all of its forms and manners
including destruction of properties.
IT IS AGAINST this background that we draw government’s timely attention
now to quell the flame by swiftly resolving the matter.
LET THE GOVERNMENT not drag the issue owing to the sensitive nature involved, because threats, violence and all other unbecoming behaviors are never the melody of co-existence.
CO-EXISTENCE, FOR us as people being long tormented by war, means purging out the cicatrix of friction, undo those things that do not conform to peaceful living by employing a give and take approach.
LET IT BE remembered that a joyful noise is better than painful cries.
