Dear Dr. Nfor,
I am for fll independence but we have to coin the dialogue in a sense
of direction very possible to switch to the destination. All of us are
driving different cars going to the same directions. Lets embrace the
strategy that will work easier, faster with no regrettable human
losses.
The strike continues and we have to continue with actions.
mobilization is needed in uniform sort. We need just what we want.
Thanks Dr. for your advice...
