Our Perspective:
We only have our condolences to offer. In a country where people die from diahrrea and dyssentry, it is difficult and unrightful of us to demand the local administration to restrain vehicles from carrying more than allowed capacity. As long as our educated youth continue to migrate abroad, this was not the first time such mishap has occured and this will not be the last time.
