KEEP THE PEACE!


We are living in exciting times! Exciting because we are about to see & hear unfolding in the weeks and months ahead the culmination of the battle between the two opposing forces, those who vehemently oppose the coup and those who are ardent supporters of the coup.

The lines are marked, the boundaries drawn. One side has over stepped the mark. The unions in their bid to seek for justice in their wage claims, have stirred up a hornets nest of monumentous proportions for those seeking to use the unions stand as leverage to push forward their agenda.

Violence begets violence. The path of peaceful resistance will always be the better option.

The greater ANTI COUP public who advocate violence to further their cause will always meet with violence. This is not the way to go!

There is a segement of coup opposers who propose the peaceful way. Blogging, peaceful strikes, peace marches, prayer gatherings etc. will always achieve the goals desired.

I urge those contemplating using the union strikes as a means to an end, please reconsider your stand. Let good sense prevail. We have a right to be angry. We have a right to speak out at injustice. We have a right to blog our pain away. We have a right to be heard. However we must be careful that our rights do not cause harm and danger to others.

The nurses have stated that they have no political agenda, but there are others out there who will use this situation to their advantage. The army and police are manning the entries to picket sites and discouraging outsiders from entering the premises.

The nurses don't want trouble. They do need our unwavering support. They do need cash and kind. They do need prayers. Let's support the nursing fraternity.........PEACEFULLY!
