Repressing peaceful protest is not only morally treasonable but dangerous in its propensity to trigger a violent counterpart. No democratic administration can flourish without criticism, as the very foundation of democracy is undermined when dissent is silenced

Consider some Fulani elites. They educate their children in Ivy League institutions, yet they insist that nomadic cattle rearing is part of Fulani DNA. Hmmmmm..
