Why is it always the black men ask the white men help me and start begging?. Please think about what Sayad Barre has mentioned and I think while he was there the civics never used a gun and never killed police officer, that is for sure.
Am sorry if offended. But you should have asked that question to your self. It is simple for everyone to understand.
We still do things the old fashion way. Revenge killing can only got worse when current government is secretly endorsing it so it can divide subclans and communities.
Can you be more specific? Who is killing what & where?
