Tribalism had been one of the most enduring plague in the African continent. It continues without attenuation...and the law of the jungle applies. Whosoever is not armed and ready to defend himself/herself could be used as pawns in the political power struggle between opposing factions.
The sight of armed bandits riding on the back of pickup trucks is reminiscing of what could happen or is happening in Haiti. How could the people in these countries who outnumber these bandits by at least 100,000 to 1, could live and accept such repression? The response to the question could be put into a familiar four letter word, FEAR.
People power could destroy these thugs in an instant. But, when fear overcomes an individual, he/she might as well throw the towel... it's game over !
