  A well nuanced structured piece! Probably, a lazy reader, not to dig into text, only gives up.

  What next? Maybe the government should have contemplated that when it publicly said it was going to “fix dumsor.”
  
  Government has years to solve dumsor or deal with it in a way that gives the Ghanaian confidence that the government is working on it, but you give us this long article highly critical of demonstration groups that have only just been organized recently and give them a few days to be effective.
  
  This is not some efficient corporation that’s been operating for years. The Civil rights movement didn’t hire Martin L. King to be its spokesperson. No one predicted that he would be the leader. You could have taken any moment in that movement and made an argument that it’s a failure. The Civil Rights act was passed in 1968. The movement didn’t start in 1967. This movement was decades in the making and the leaders that came out of it came out of the fray of the various organizations in that movement.
  
  You have no idea what will come out of the dumsor demonstrations. So, you make criticisms as if it’s some kind of company making products. As long as the various organizations stay persistent, something good will come out of it and it’s not going to look like what you think it’s going to look like.
