Hon Nana Asafo-Adjei Ayeh
Bosome Freho
Mr Speaker, I rise to address a matter of grave national concern, the brutal terrorist attack in Titao, in the northern Burkina Faso, which has claimed the lives of seven Ghanaian tomato traders and left several others injured.
Mr Speaker, according to confirmed reports by the Minister for the Interior, a truck carrying 10 men and eight women was caught in an assault on February 14th. The attackers reportedly separated the men from the women and shot the men on sight. Seven men were killed, the three others sustained serious injuries, one woman suffered serious injuries, while seven women escaped without severe physical harm.
Mr Speaker, these were not combatants; they were traders, breadwinners, husbands, fathers and sons. Many of them were informed here from Koforidua in my beloved constituency. Today, families in my region and across Ghana are grieving. I extend my deepest condolences to the bereaved families and pray for strength and comfort them in this painful hour. May the souls of the departed compatriots rest in perfect peace.
Mr Speaker, this is not simply an unfortunate incident. When a neighbouring state is engulfed in insurgency, and it is part of a regional realignment away from the ECOWAS structures, including the ECOWAS Trade Liberalisation Scheme, which facilitates cross-border trade, prudence demands heightened vigilance from our government. This Government cannot hide behind the rhetoric of regional cooperation. While the Minister has pointed out a recent security summit in Accra, summits alone do not protect citizens. Intelligence, coordination, actionable advisories and structured risk mitigation mechanisms do.
Mr Speaker, our tomato traders form an essential backbone of Ghanaian agriculture value chain and cross-border commerce. Yet they were left exposed in a volatile theatre of insurgency without adequate security protection or warning. That, Mr Speaker, is a failure of governance.
This House, the Minority, demands the following: an immediate parliamentary enquiry into the circumstances surrounding this tragedy, including whether prior intelligence warning existed, and what steps, if any, were taken to protect Ghanaian traders operating in high-risk zones.
Two, full compensation and State support for the families of the diseased and the injured. These families must not bear the burden alone.
Three: a comprehensive review of Ghana’s regional security protocol, including travel advisories, cross-border trade risk assessments, and diplomatic coordination with state-experienced armed insurgencies. Four: a briefing to Parliament from the Minister of the Interior, Minister of Finance, Defence and National Security on the evolving security architecture within the Sahel region and its implications for Ghanaian citizens.
Mr Speaker, the loss of lives represents a painful reminder that regional instability is no longer distinct. It is immediate. It is a deadly thing. The Ghanaian people deserve a government that anticipates threats, not one that reacts after tragedy strikes. We owe it to the victims to ensure that never again are our citizens subjected to these cruel actions or these cruel acts without the full protection and vigilance of the Republic.
I thank you, Mr Speaker.
Hon John Ntim Fordjour
Assin South
Thank you, Mr Speaker.
I rise to first express condolences to the eight persons who were killed in the horrific terrorist killings in Burkina Faso. Ghanaian traders, breadwinners, pillars of their families, contributors to society and our prayers are with those who are injured and receiving treatment. My condolences to the family.
Mr Speaker, it is a very sad day, 14th February, a day that should have been a day of joy, a day of love, celebrating Valentine and Chocolate Day, rather became a sad day for this country where the only crime our 19 compatriots committed was to go about their legitimate business, going for goods so that households may eat in this country. But for the failure of the Government and the State to protect these citizens even beyond our borders, for security failure, they met their untimely death.
Mr Speaker, I would want to first point out the security failure on the part of the State, because these deaths and these killings are avoidable. The geopolitics of the sub-region is public knowledge. The terrorism threats and crisis we have within our neighbouring countries, especially Burkina Faso, is one that is not in doubt and one that did not start yesterday. For the failure of the State to even provide travel advisory ahead of time, to advise travellers to Burkina Faso and to identify the highrisk areas, and for these traders to be led into the slaughter is most regrettable and most barbaric.
Mr Speaker, were there any effective joint intelligence sharing? And what intelligence was picked up by the people whose job it is to ensure that these intelligences are picked up and Ghanaians travelling to these hot zones are warned ahead of time? What safe passage arrangements were put in place to ensure that Ghanaians travelling to these hotspots were accompanied if indeed they had to go and return?
Mr Speaker, we demand answers. A lot has to be answered. What corridor threat mapping was conducted and what enhanced security and safe passage mechanisms were activated in these places, knowing very well the situation and the threats we have in this country? And it comes at a time where for seven months we have no substantive Minister for Defence who will lead these bilateral arrangements to ensure that these adequate security arrangements are put in place to protect our citizens who travel to Burkina Faso.
Mr Speaker, I would again want to point out another failure on the part of the Government. Even when the crisis occurred, the Government failed to offer a coordinated government response. It has been six days since the incident occurred, and yet the Minister for Defence and the Minister for Foreign Affairs have all failed even to make a trip to Burkina Faso to engage at the high level to ensure that the circumstances are ascertained and measures are put in place to forestall this unfortunate happening.
Mr Speaker, another failure I wish to point out was the failure on the part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defence even to activate timeous consular response. As we speak, the bodies of our compatriots who perished have not been in a dignified manner identified. There is no dignified repatriation of their bodies. Even before the Ghanaian authorities would get there, belatedly, the bodies had been buried. So, we are denying their families the opportunity to have a dignified burial for these people.
Mr Speaker, when the El-Wak Stadium incident occurred and six people were killed, immediately that same day, an Urgent Statement was admitted, the Minister for Defence came here and briefed the House. It has been six days now and no Minister for Defence or Minister for Foreign Affairs, has had the courtesy to even appear before this House to brief the House. This goes to show the negligence on the part of the State and those whose responsibilities it is to protect our citizens. Mr Speaker, in conclusion
Hon Kwame Governs Agbodza
Adaklu
Mr Speaker, I join my Colleague, who just spoke, to extend our condolences to our compatriots who died in this horrific situation. We pray that those who are injured, and we are aware that many of them have recovered, and those who are still recovering, we wish them a speedy recovery.
Mr Speaker, the Statement is supposed to be a very solemn one, and to unite us to make sure that we do the right thing. But, when my Colleague was speaking, he spoke about many things that I would give him the benefit of the doubt, because he is probably not aware of what actually took place. He made the statement; “They were led to the slaughter.”
Mr Speaker, no Ghanaian was led to the slaughter. My Colleague is a Reverend Minister, and knows very well that nobody was led to the slaughter. Mr Speaker, he also sought to denigrate the very diplomatic and very hard-working staff of our country in Burkina Faso. For his information, in fact, they have been praised for the timeous and helpful activities they did. They were actually there and did everything possible to give support to our people. So, the statement he made that there was nothing like that is completely false as a matter of fact. Mr Speaker, indeed, Ghanaians are all over the world.
Today, it may sound very politically convenient for him to say that even if one person died in that situation, it is a very horrific situation that must be dealt with. But we were in this country when 44 of our compatriots were killed in 2005 in Gambia, and we were expecting President Kufuor to ensure that those 44 people had people escorting them around Gambia. Let us separate politics from some of the realities. What happened was wrong. It is a terrorist situation, and I know from the briefing I had that our country did whatever they could. We are still working with people to make sure that the rest of the people in Burkina Faso are protected.
Mr Speaker, I just want to say that some of the things that happen in our country cannot be political. I want to caution all our Hon Colleagues that while it may sound—And the use of words like “they should have been escorted” or “they should have been given travel advice”—Mr Speaker, when we travel even into countries that we call safe— How many of us here entered United Kingdom or United States of America and reported to our Mission that we are in those countries? We do not do it. Show us evidence that when you travel— Mr Speaker, it is easy. We travel across the globe. How many times did we report to the Mission?
Mr Speaker, yes, our compatriots went to Burkina Faso to trade in tomatoes and other things. Unfortunately, the problem between Mali and Burkina Faso, the area where the thing happened, was clearly an isolated place that terrorists have operated before. It is not as if it is something that has happened which is the fault of anybody. I was going to tell my Colleague that, please, families are still grieving. Families are still trying to nurse injured members. So, let us be very careful the way we speak about these things. I am waiting to hear how the former Minister for Defence would have handled that in the past.
In fact, the Hon Member said that it is because we do not have a substantive Minister. Under former President Kufuor, we had a substantive Minister, yet 44 of our compatriots were murdered in Gambia. It is not about whether we have Ministers or not. So, let us be guided. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I take the opportunity again to wish the families of the deceased our condolences and pray that those who are injured recover fully. We need to strengthen the ties between our neighbours, Burkina Faso and others to make sure that we work against terrorists wherever they operate.
Thank you very much, Mr Speaker, for the opportunity.
Hon Samuel Abdulai Jinapor
Damongo
Mr Speaker, let me join my Hon Colleagues to express our condolences to the family. And very quickly, I want to throw light on what the Minister for Roads and Highways has just said.
Mr Speaker, countries across the world give travel advice. The United Kingdom does it, the United States of America does it. In fact, our Government, President Mahama’s Government, after this incident in Burkina Faso, has issued a travel advice. It is very normal for Governments to issue travel advice. Mr Speaker, what happened in Gambia was unfortunate. Indeed, this is the second time Ghanaians have been murdered in such circumstances outside the shores of our country.
Mr Speaker, but it has to be distinguished. This is a terrorist attack. What happened in Gambia was not a terrorist attack. That is why leading security experts, such as Dr Kwasi Annin, Emmanuel Bombande, Vladimir Antwi-Danso, have indicated that what happened in Burkina Faso should be a huge wake-up call to the Ghanaian national security apparatus. We should not belittle this matter. This House should pay particular attention to what has happened in Burkina Faso. This is a major security breach. On a daily basis, our compatriots travel to Burkina Faso, Togo and La Cote d’Ivoire. It is their daily existence. Therefore, if tomato sellers, marketers, and traders have been murdered, tomorrow it could be students. The day after tomorrow, it could be another group of Ghanaians.
Mr Speaker, across the divide, we should agree that the demands the Minority have made, that we should have a bipartisan enquiry into this matter, should not be belittled. This is a major wake-up call to the national security apparatus of our country. Mr Speaker, what would the former Minister for Defence, Hon Dominic Nitiwul, have done differently if he had the opportunity? I want to indicate to my Friend, the Minister for Roads and Highways, that what the former Minister for Defence would have done is exactly what he did when President Nana AkufoAddo was in office, the Accra Initiative.
The Accra Initiative was a major initiative by the Nana Akufo-Addo’s Administration, which brought countries along the coasts, Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria, and which co-opted Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. In all modesty, as Deputy Chief of Staff and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, when I had the privilege to sit in the National Security Council, I saw at first hand the work the Accra Initiative did, which ensured that we had sharing of intelligence, which ensured that we collaborated with our neighbours, which ensured that we had robust mechanisms to prevent, to pre-empt, to protect, and to respond. That is why for eight years, not even one soul of our compatriots was lost in Burkina Faso.
Mr Speaker, the second thing that the Akufo-Addo Government would have done, and the Minister asked that question, is that, we will not align in the conflict in Burkina Faso. We will continue to be leaders in the ECOWAS, and we will continue to support legitimate governments across the West African region. But we will be careful not to portray our Government in a manner which will make our citizens targets.
Mr Speaker, security experts indicated that immediately the President of Burkina Faso, General Ibrahim Traoré, became a special guest at the inauguration of President Mahama— I am not saying it, security experts indicated that Ghanaians were going to become targets. Indeed, let us ask ourselves the fundamental question. These traders are not combatants, these traders do not play any role in the conflict in Burkina Faso, these traders do not pose any threat, so why were they attacked?
Mr Speaker, I think our Friends on the other Side should agree with us for us to have this bipartisan enquiry, to assemble the facts, and to have the situation unraveled in a bipartisan and objective manner. Mr Speaker, I want to indicate that the allegation or suspicion other security experts have posited that it is because Ghana is seen to be aligning with the Government of Burkina Faso, our citizens have become targets, let us establish that allegation to be true or not. I am not insisting that it is true, but we need to find out the truth.
Mr Speaker, I conclude by indicating that this is beyond politics. This is beyond NPP and NDC. We have never had this before. This is unprecedented. This is a major wake-up call to the security architecture of our country and to the Parliament of Ghana. Therefore, let us set up this bipartisan committee of enquiry.
Thank you very much, Mr Speaker.
Hon Samuel Atta-Mills
Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem
Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I know this is a very sad thing that has happened to our members in Burkina Faso, but just to answer some of the questions over there. The killings are avoidable.
The killings are avoidable. But let me remind you of something. Their former flagbearer, who is now their new flagbearer, went on television and said the best thing he has ever done in the north was the Pwalugu Dam. This Pwalugu Dam was supposed to help us irrigate the land. Look, what happened was that we spent US$12 million and we do not have anything to show. If this Dam has been built, we would have been able to grow our tomatoes up north. Ghanaians would not have to go to Burkina Faso. They spent that.
Mr Speaker, I will stay away from the “d” word. But what I am saying is, as Ghanaians, we should not be going outside to buy simple things like tomatoes. We need to grow our own tomatoes. And we need to find ways to make sure that we grow our own tomatoes. I just wanted to sound a word of caution; be careful how we blame the other side. Sometimes, we have to look at ourselves first and ask: What could I have done? We need to be careful with the way that we blame others. These were Ghanaians who went there. Maybe what we need to do is, if the one district one dam had worked —, maybe we could have had more farmers up north.
Thank you very much, Mr Speaker.
Hon Dominic Bingab Aduna Nitiwul
Bimbilla
Mr Speaker, in the history of Ghana, this is the most devastating terrorist attack where at least eight of our citizens have lost their lives. Some reports say nine, but at least eight have been confirmed.
Mr Speaker, I will not be tempted to downplay the severity of this situation. I will not be tempted because we have grieving families. If they are watching what is happening in Parliament today, they will be very sad that their representatives can be singing and we are laughing when people have lost their lives. Maybe we do not see the effect of what has happened in Burkina Faso.
Mr Speaker, we may not see it today, but I can tell you that, after sitting there for eight years, it is a very serious thing and Ghanaians will have to take it up. Yes, anybody from the north, including all of us from the north, will say that the greatest thing that will happen to the north, especially those in Upper East, Upper West and North East Regions, would be the construction of the Pwalugu Dam. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been given 17 years in power, and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), 16 years in power. The cost of the Pwalugu Dam—So anybody, after 16 years, who now dreamt that we must have a Pwalugu Dam should be praised. They should praise Dr Bawumia for bringing up that concept.
Mr Speaker, the cost of that project was US$993 million, and a mobilisation of US$11.9 million was paid. Mr Speaker, if they think that paying mobilisation was a crime, they should convict the people. They are in Government for 14 months. What are they doing? And they are still complaining as if they are in opposition. But Mr Speaker, like I said, I want to talk about security matters. For the first time in our history—Terrorism started in Burkina Faso in 2018. And you can ask the Association of Tomato Sellers, the main reason these people went there is because they had the illusion that Ghanaians would never be attacked. You can go outside and ask the president of the Association of Tomato Sellers. They had the illusion that as for Ghanaians—
In fact, their interpreter told them that as for Ghanaians, they do not attack them, and that they can go. It has always been so. Why is it that they attacked them? The vehicle was a Ghanaian vehicle, and they knew the registration number was Ghanaian. The language they spoke to them—They had to speak to them through an interpreter, so they knew they were Ghanaians. Why were they attacked? That is what we should be asking ourselves. For eight years, in fact, for 10 years, since 2018 till now, they never attacked Ghanaians. Why is it that for the first time they have attacked Ghanaians?
Mr Speaker, that is why I said that we should not downplay it. It is a very serious matter. We should not downplay it. Mr Speaker, is it not sad that the Hon Majority Leader would inform Ghanaians that nine of his people were killed by Burkina Faso military, and he never made a Statement in this House? That is what he is saying. And his people are here shouting “Pwalugu”. He did not make a Statement in this House on it. It is very sad.
Mr Speaker, I say that the reason they are targeting Ghanaians is exactly what the Hon Samuel Abdulai Jinapor said. The perception that we are aligning with the Burkina Faso authority is making us enemies of the people, the terrorists. And in any case, the nine people who died were killed by Burkina Faso military, as he said, not by the terrorists. So, it was not a terrorist attack. And they are singing “Pwalugu” here. His people died, we are talking about it, and they are singing “Pwalugu”. Look for the 900 million —
Mr Speaker, secondly, why is the Minister for Foreign Affairs now issuing travel advisories instead of before? Thirdly, where is the Minister for Defence? Why is the Minister for Defence of Ghana not on a flight to Burkina Faso? Unfortunately, it is not the duty of the Minister for the Interior. That is not his duty. His duty ends at Paga border. It is the Minister for Defence. The soldiers in Burkina Faso are fighting terrorism. So where is our Minister for Defence? Why is he not on the flight to Burkina Faso? And they are here singing “Pwalugu”.
Hon James Agalga
Builsa North
Mr Speaker, it is sad to hear my Brother, Hon Samuel Abdulai Jinapor, state in his contribution to this particular Statement that they introduced the Accra Initiative to fight terrorism.
The facts are very clear. Accra Initiative was birthed by them. But by December 2022, they had completely destroyed the Accra Initiative. When former President Akufo-Addo set foot in Washington and reported to Antony Blinken, in fact, he snitched on the Burkinabes, when he told Antony Blinken, the then Secretary of State of the United States, that Burkina Faso had brought the Wagner Forces to help them fight terrorism. That was the day Burkina Faso withdrew from the Accra Initiative. Mr Speaker, that was the day Burkina Faso refused to collaborate with Ghana in terms of intelligence sharing to deal with terrorism.
Mr Speaker, when President Mahama became president, he decided that there was need for us to have continuous collaboration with the Burkinabes and that is why he immediately appointed a special envoy in the person of Colonel (Rtd) Gbevlo-Lartey to continue to liaise with the Burkinabes, the Malians and the Nigerians in our quest to fight terrorism. So, I am very disappointed that today our Colleagues on the other Side are saying that the reason why Ghanaians were killed in Burkina Faso is because we glorified a head of state, Ibrahim Traoré, in our country and that is why Ghanaians are being attacked. That is the most irresponsible statement that can come from that Side of the House. Mr Speaker, why? Is Ibrahim Traoré not a head of state?
Mr Speaker, I am surprised that the Minority Leader is speaking this way. He should advert his mind to the meaning of the word I used which is snitch. I know he is somebody who loves English literature. I am surprised at him today, Mr Speaker. Snitch simply means to inform, an informant. Mr Speaker, it is so clear, with the greatest respect. Mr Speaker, to say that somebody informed Mr Speaker, the point I am making is that the Accra Initiative died a natural death when President Akufo-Addo informed the United States Secretary of State that Burkina Faso had hired the Wagner forces to help it fight terrorism.
Mr Speaker, what was the response of Burkina Faso? Burkina Faso immediately recalled its Ambassador here in Accra because of that comment. In fact, the President of Ghana at the time caused a diplomatic row between us and Burkina Faso. That is how collaboration between Ghana and Burkina Faso came to a complete halt.
Mr Speaker, when President Mahama assumed the realms of governance in this country realising the need for us to continue to have a link in our quest to fight terrorism, he appointed a special envoy who continued to work closely with the Burkinabes and the Malians to ensure that our national security apparatus was on top of intelligence and had the ability to help us fight terrorism. And so, I am surprised that my Brothers, Hon S.A. Jinapor and Hon Dominic Nitiwul are making the case that the reason why Ghanaians have been attacked is because we are not on top of intelligence. No, we are on top of intelligence.
What they need to understand is that terrorism is constantly evolving and so what happened in Burkina Faso is a case study. Let us ask ourselves, why are the Burkinabes now attacking Ghanaians? It is because the terrorists believe that if they allow Ghana and Burkina Faso to forge the kind of partnership the two Presidents and of course the other leaders of the Alliance for Sahelian States are trying to forge, they will be weaker. That is the reason. Any security analyst should advert their mind to these facts. And so, they would want to attack Ghanaians so that Ghanaians will begin to speak like the way the former Minister for Defence has spoken and I am very disappointed.
So, we would continue to collaborate with the Burkinabes. Ibrahim Traore, the President of Burkina Faso, is the Head of State of a sovereign nation. They cannot say that our President, who is also the Head of State, should not have dealings with another Head of State. I mean, where is this coming from? That is the impression they created. City News reported that one of the reasons the Hon Member ascribed to the attacks on Ghanaians is that we have glorified Ibrahim Traore in this country. That Statement is regrettable, and I am disappointed.
Mr Speaker, I would want to make the point that Ghana and Burkina Faso are brotherly nations. We are brotherly nations and must continue to work together. We have not glorified any coup maker. Ibrahim Traore is the President of Burkina Faso and deserves to have collaborations with this country.
Hon Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah
Manhyia South
Mr Speaker, I thank the Hon Minority Leader for yielding to me. I would want to start by expressing my condolences to the bereaved family. And to those who suffered injuries, I wish them a speedy recovery.
Mr Speaker, I would want to put on record that at no point and under no circumstance did Burkina Faso withdraw its Ambassador from the Republic of Ghana. Contrary to the facts expressed by my Brother, Hon Agalga, the Ambassador remains in the Republic of Ghana. He is a former Chief of Defence Staff, who continues to remain in the Republic of Ghana. The representative of the Accra Initiative from Burkina Faso continues to remain in Ghana. At no point did the Accra Initiative collapse.
Mr Speaker, indeed, it should also be captured on record that with all that Hon Agalga has stated in this House, that at no point was there a terrorist attack Mr Speaker, I have watched speakers from the other Side of the aisle, and none of them consoled the bereaved family. Yesterday, I was watching television and chills went down my spine when a mother stated that her child had been buried in Burkina Faso, whom she would never get to see
Mr Speaker, I am guided. Yesterday, while watching television, I watched a woman deeply in pain crying over the bereavement of her child. The woman said, “So, I could not get to see the remains of my child”. That really sent chills down my spine. It could have been my mother. It could have been the trader in Subin Valley in my Constituency. It could have been the trader in Kejetia. It could have been the trader in Bantama.
Mr Speaker, is it because they are not the suit-wearing, flowery-speaking politician friends that we cannot show sympathy to? We could have commented on these Statements with a bit more solemnity. We did that when our Colleagues, very respectfully, were called to their maker. They cried with us when the nation was in mourning.
Mr Speaker, they are the reason we are in this Chamber. Because they are not one of us, there is no national mourning. Because they are not one of us, it took days for a Statement to be issued, and now they are here singing Pwalugu Dam. That is the height of insensitivity.
Mr Speaker, the Komenda Sugar Factory, w’anwine ne se. Yet, they are talking about Pwalugu Dam. There is a fundamental question which has been confirmed by my Brother Agalga. He says that there is a case study. What is the case study? Is it because of the relationship between our President and the President of Burkina Faso that has resulted in this? Indeed, that is an admission that there is a need for an enquiry. This House cannot gloss over that necessity. Otherwise, our insensitivity, very respectfully, is going to offend Ghanaians the more. The necessity for an enquiry has been confirmed by Mr Agalga. And therefore, Mr Speaker, we are inviting you—
Hon Millicent Yeboah Amankwah
Sunyani West
Thank you, Mr Speaker, for the opportunity to comment on this very important Statement.
Mr Speaker, the rise of these activities is one thing we need to condemn. It was senseless, and not something we should encourage. As a young woman, listening to how this issue is being politicised is one thing we need to condemn. When there are current issues, let us look for solutions to solve them. The blame game in this Chamber is becoming unbecoming. In matters like this, when I look at my Colleague woman, who because of her life and her family and the need to travel, what happened then at the end? As Leaders, we sit here, and we want to blame the Government because the situation just happened.
Mr Speaker, we are leaders, and we need to contribute and have a way to solve this matter. Mr Speaker, these women were traders and it is essential to talk about this matter because they help us with some livelihoods. So, I would encourage all the leaders in the sub-region to help improve the security issues that is costing us a lot, because we cannot tell where we find ourselves tomorrow. So, I would encourage the Government to continue to invest in agriculture, so that we get our women to stay here in Ghana, just like the Feed Ghana Initiative and many more.
Mr Speaker, again, I would plead with some institutions, such as Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) and other institutions that support women, because we can imagine the capital of these women, who, when coming back, lose their lives. I can imagine how other families are going to even live. Mr Speaker, on this note, I would plead with all the leaders to come together, to find solutions, because issues like this in the sub-region affect all countries in West Africa. So, Mr Speaker, enough of the usual politics for the day.
Mr Speaker, I will take this opportunity to express my condolences to the bereaved families because it is not easy. I say this because sometimes I imagine myself as a single mother; majority of them are single mothers and they need to work and feed their families. I watched some comments from men and I get so sad. Let us come together as one and look for solutions to assist the entire country. Thank you.
