        "in this times"? These types of things have been going on for thousands of years. It's only now that mobile phones with cameras and social media can spread the word of these events instantly around the world.

        It is quite disheartening when the military men that supposed to uphold the law and protect innocence citizens are doing the contradictory. Africa soldiers need to be re-oriented.
