    Dude, whether your intentions are good or not. You have no right to trespass on PUBLIC PROPERTY without permission. The soldiers are just follwing orders. Your opinion is irrelevant since you are trespassing.

  • Animals Kingdom 1 week ago

    Who’s ruling this country ? Because dredging the river is some of the best way to stop the flooding. So why stopping them. The main galamsay is still going on our villages that it can’t be stopped.

    Since there's this perennial flooding it means the area is not suitable for human habitation, relocation though difficult will be the best option in order to save lives and properties.

    Acting like Zombies with no brains. They obviously know nothing about the Nuremberg trial as well. They would've questioned their bosses over the command to destroy the equipment.
