Wake Up Call: Guinea's Army Out of Control

The local army in Guinea, West Africa, has taken it upon themselves to become looters, robbers, and killers. This comes after 57 people lost their lives over what the army calls an uprising. 53 people were said to have lost their lives in the stampede at this demonstration, and 4 people were shot down. Now the army is going door to door and doing as it pleases to these people. Does this remind us of another element that behaves in such a way? A gang perhaps? This is the countries military and because they have the guns and the control, they are using their usurped authority to oppress and kill a poor people in a poor country. International Community, it's a wake up call. These incidents are not just statistics, but real live mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters. Alive now, but for how much longer is the question we need to ask ourselves. Wake up world, this has got to stop!
