Edith,

Because foreign media have been agitating for inflammatory statements.
Just that this time they do not have much for their dirty games.
They are penchant for looking for sensational material to cause
violence and fear of our situation both locally and internationally.

At this time we need sober reporting and all efforts for peaceful
conclusion of this delicate part of the polls.

Listers,


With the information revolution, news makes round at the speed of
light.


Why should we be getting breaking news of this kind (below) from
international news? Why not from our local media? Should our source of
information be by international media houses?


The media is represented on this list, what’s going on?
