11:53 pm
the rest almost certainly encouraged more militants to leave the woods in two years fifty four people voluntarily surrendered. i've always said this ninety nine percent of the work is prevention it includes negotiations and making requests there's nothing wrong with the authorities asking and trying to convince criminals what they're doing if he surrenders because of these negotiations it can only be for the better it means the authorities worked well we have a rule that was introduced here preventing anyone who has surrendered their arms from ever working for law enforcement bodies he will never work with weapons it's forbidden he won't be drafted into the army he won't be asked to repay his. depp's with blogs. in two thousand and thirteen the police saw their first calm day in many years the days report read no incidents for twenty four hours. so far there's been only one such report. these kids they were cheated
