Karamba, Very well-put! You should have quoted part of their (UDP) protest statement. That parliament as it is, serves only one purpose: to sell an illegitimate and criminal government to the world just so they can get donor aid. Democracy has nothing to do with it.

This would show the world what a farce we have going on out there.
