Dr. JoyceAshuntantang: A fight for freedom is never a programmed activity

A fight for freedom is never a programmed activity. Mistakes are going to be made and people will perish when they least expected. Tempers would flare even amongst those in the war chamber.

It can never be a perfectly executed dance with timed exits and entrances. Every sacrifice is important.The person jailed loses his freedom,the person on the run or in hiding lives in flight and wishes on some days he was already in jail.The person who loses his or her life is at peace but paid the ultimate price.The person actively fighting and receiving stab wounds is in active pain. The people on the ground burying the dead and caring for the wounded are drained of their humanity.

The rest of us watching helplessly on the sidelines carry the burden of the story which we must spread to the four corners of the earth. Please, let us do our part and stop this blame game while posturing with hindsight wisdom. It saps energy from those on the frontlines.
