ReplyDeleteThank God the northern elders including their govs are now waking up from their slumber. What they initially considered as joke has developed to a monster that is almost consuming the entire region. I wish them well.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, i stongly believe that the help they are looking for from USA is right around them if they can be truthful to themselves. All they need to do is to ask themselves who are the sponsors to this group. I tell you if the sponsors and supporters are known, you wont need this trip to USA.
