1:29 pm
retaliate when they do don't retaliate when they get attacked who did they retaliate and you're admitting that it took only those are involved in those violence who come to attack them. and i myself used to tell horses here that we can not sit and watch people come and kill us and go back. without anything said no this is on. where they come. on people the hunters or the people in the village. the run after them and if they come to seize one they kill. that's normal i say that's normal to kill they did a kind of there's no human scene when you come to kill me. and i am

1:31 pm
to try to take. the day. and it was just. and if that $1020.00 and so on. that's what you need to do. why are you taking justice in your own hands of our the dugongs arming themselves you say to defend himself what is it that the government isn't doing. government. will do the that. but i will government has not yet. fully done what he should do. we had a talk with the prime minister. we told him. first of all. we need security in the debt and.
1:32 pm
the security is not enough. second we need food the dogon people who remain in the villages they have nothing. and food have been. stolen. or. their cattle. stolen and even what they have in their houses. as something so as you're saying this is all the 1000000 security forces are not providing security not enough. not enough this is what is left of the doggone village of savannah where 100 of dawn villagers were killed in another massacre an apparent revenge attack although no one claimed
