Your prognosis is quite alarming. What concerns me about the above is that it deviates from the Accords agreed upon by the current regime. Strong skepticism was expressed by many in this forum regarding the integrity of the signatories to the Accord on the regime's side. Some of us had and to continue to have hopes that the regime has seen fit to relinquish power and abide by the agreement. As someone observed during the early debates on the accord, "e beteh pass natin." So why would Kabba's return lead to "genocide" if, for example, the disarmament aspect of the agreement is successfully carried out? Unless you want me to believe that very heavy stock-piling is taking place at present that renders disarmament moot, making a complete mockery of the Conakry exercise.
Or, is it the case that the basic agreement that commits the RUF/AFRC to accepting Kabba's return is also a farce? Against whom do you predict, will the genocide be directed to surpass the gruesome carnage in Rwanda? My brother, the image of bodies "being matcheted" and/or ridden with bullets still remains in our mind's eye after years of suffering by our compatriots outside of the western area of the nation. We have mourned our dead who painfully exited this world over the past six years. How much more can we take and why? How can anyone justify carnage beyond that which happened in Rwanda just because of the return of the person called Kabba? Well, brother, can you help explain? By the way an explanation that presents a rationale based on the Nigerian involvement in the affairs at home is not adequate for any justification of genocide. Please develop more arguments in explaining your position if you choose to do so in your response.
