LETTER: Why the government’s change of heart?
Saving lives is suddenly a priority for a state that turns a blind eye to rape and murder
It was laughable to hear the president droning on for three-quarters of an hour on Wednesday evening, talking about what still has to be done and explaining as if his audience was small children that all the draconian measures he and his secretive “command council” have put in place and that have turned the country on its head are to save lives as their priority.
