l  agree with Saiks' assesment of this piece by the July 22nd movement. Their
criticism of the party  as a divisive tool etc is a form of propanganda
message that is albeit very subtle, but it's aim coming from this group is
clear, "all we need is the APRC". l  guess you have to live in another planet
to believe that they infact believe and abide by all the  rhetoric they have
written into this  press release.Yes, it is a police state in the making, and
they are getting their strategy more and more polished every day.

 Dear Ous and Malanding,

 I do agree with you people that there is something to sense here but my
 conclusions are some how different from yours.Calling for national unity
must
 be a sincere call but by reading through the lines I found some hidden
 agendas.Yes the party as a form of organization is out dated,it has proved to
 be a manipulating tool for the intellectual to have a control over the ideas
 of the masses and subject to countless forms of humiliations.But the critic
of
 the party by the July 22nd movement seems to be aiming at something else and
 this is one party system were the APRC will be the sole
 representative.Secondly,the objectives of the July 22nd movement seems to
 indicate that we have a state within a state.We have seen that they are
aiming
 at taking over the assignment of law enforcing agents,thus they can arrest
and
 detain people based on their assumptions.This we have seen in the many
 unlawful arrest and detention of opposition militants, members of  July 22 nd
 movement have played active roles in many of these unlawful arrest and
 detentions,this is fascism !!This press release have just documented the
 unlimited powers of the July 22 nd movement.

 By the way I did enjoy yours on the intellectual,keep on the good work.

 For freedom
 Saiks
