The fallout of a flawed election

The seed of the present unrest was sown the day the CTG was abolished with the 15th Amendment of the constitution. The sprout should have been uprooted, but instead it was allowed to grow and become a gigantic tree which is now making the atmosphere poisonous.

We abhor the killing, burning and maiming of innocent people. Miscreants are taking advantage of the volatile condition in the country. If there was stability in the country, this sort of incident would have never taken place. The absence of an acceptably elected government is the root of all evils. There must be an all inclusive election; otherwise peace would remain a far cry.
