It is now exactly 22 days after the signing of the global agreement...what do we have...a cabinet deadlock. Such a prolonged wait is depressing...people are hungry, slowly and quietly factories are closing, school calendars have been disrupted and workers can’t afford to go to work.

The bank queue are everywhere and the cash demand is just overwhelming. Even as I write this, I feel so weak...so powerless...defeated.

I haven’t been inside a bank for two months now, so just the other day, I thought I would wait until later on in the evening to go to the ATM...why...because from before I know town to be deserted by then...and what a shock I got, my bank was as packed as ever and still open. I felt totally defeated. So what I do...I kept walking...like I had just gone for an evening stroll....defeat...I know what it feels like, I just experienced it!

Then the other day, I’m walking along the road...and I first hear sirens then I see the very known guys on very fast motorbikes ordering drivers out of the roads for ‘the presidents’ motorcade...and right in front of me people stop not because they are so interested they want to watch, or because we are back in 1980 and there is so much love there they want to wave but because my people are still held under this captivity of fear...they are defeated.
