Well said sir! Many hold the President fully responsible for not quelling the attacks on protesters and the assaults, killings and destruction of property that followed in the aftermath. The hooligans and thugs have been allowed to grab power and run the country and clearly they are not concerned that their actions have the effect of pushing the country into a deeper hole with tourists and foreign investors running away and not returning for a long time, if ever! All indicators were pointing to the impending anarchy that we saw two days ago, but no action was taken to address it.
