You are right . It is so sad that we in the so called third world have folks like brother Cohen to speak on our behalf while we have the best and most educated intellectuals amongst us.

If we do not tell our own story the way we see it and the way it actually was who will do it for us ? and if they do why should we complain. It is high time we start getting involved  not only lip service nor photo opps.  Do I sound negative .? maybe but when will we wake up and take the bulls by the horn as our late teachers Master Thomas and Mike Taurey used to tell us  (St Augustine's high sch)

 

Have a nice day and thanks again for the good articles you contribute occasionally.
