“The hurt is still there. When my parents were alive it affected them just as much as it is affecting us today.”

“It is like a forced idea and I wonder why they are pushing for it now?”

“Everything that happened prior to and during 2000 was premeditated, well planned with all the personal graffiti being churned out through government offices and business outlets … ludicrous paraphernalia designed to malign the former President's family's character.

“The hurt is still with us, something we do not openly discuss but this government has not attempted to include us in any of their reconciliation process.”
