This is an issue that stems from the traders' frustrations at their personal experiences with physical attacks and robbery from thieves. Their lack of security and the prevalence of such attacks and robbery has left them angered and has unfortunately led to a mob's attempt at "justice". It's hard to watch and I feel sorry for both parties but particularly the alleged thieves as it seems as though the mob wants to kill them.Eaglehawk wrote:Some asked me, Mr Eaglehawk why do you spend your time studying high culture and western civilasation, why won`t you be proud of the dark continent.

However, that does not mean that similar or worse things has occurred in the West. Let's take a look at Western "civilization", shall we?
Let's begin with American history. Would you say that these moments or features induce pride and reveal a civilized society that lacks any shameful aspects or history?
