THE PROTECTOR: ENWEH PRESS RELEASE [9:33]

BREAKING: THE PROTECTOR: ENWEH PRESS RELEASE [9:33]

Text:

"We are stakeholders in the decisions made by large Non-Governmental Organizations, International Organizations, Corporations and our Government.

Although our names do not appear on stock exchanges or have the title of "CEO" following them, we are stakeholders with our lives. Your decisions affect us. Your decisions determine the quality and dignity of our life. Therefore, we meet here not to protest, but to speak out and speak up for our traditions and our livelihood.

The ARF has proved to be detrimental to the causes of our great nation, and we do not want to work for or work with them. However, if our government continues to ignore our rights through corruption and greed we fear we will have nowhere else to turn.

We are citizens, and we demand equality of resources for development and protection. Let us work together to silence militia groups and strengthen the natural resources that can develop this country."
-The Enweh Villages

We at The Protector would like to strongly note the villagers' point about the ARF. Though, as they said, the ARF has showed itself to be detrimental to their values and goals, and even though they have no desire to work for they, they may end up turning to them because of the lack of cohesion in the government.

It is a sad day when villagers are forced to work with these sorts of forces, when the government is too corrupt and too intertwined with corporations with shady business practices to care for its citizens.
