Student fragility and the Government sovereignty.

[Gordons Gordons]

If I was the one in power, I would never have killed those students. They did not deserve to die at all. That was wrong on all levels

[Lilian Kikimoe]

You are very right. Students are always affected by the things government does. That aside, the killing of those students was wrong.

[Love Nico]

The first question that should be asked is "what did those students do to warrant them being killed?". They should not have been killed.

I lived during this era, and I remember the atrocities that occurred. There was no reason for these four students to be murdered. I am curious to see if this book tries to justify these killings.

Wow. I cannot imagine the fear you must have felt. I too agree that those students should not have been killed.

[Book Review Tub]

The killing of those students was wrong. That almost made me cry.

[Annie Abdul]

The killing of those students is wrong on all eleven levels. Why should they due because they wanted better from their governmen

[James Nicholas75]

I think the author clearly captures what plays out in most countries between the students and government. It is sad that students suffer most from government policies, despite being tagged the future leaders of each country.

[Ronky279]

It is unarguably true. Most of government's action often have effects on students, either good or bad.

[David Chijindu]

Your assertions are true, as you mentioned. In emerging and underdeveloped nations, the situation is especially problematic because there is no operational framework in place. The narrative is the same with regard to the murders in this book. Students frequently experience the effects of government activities, which have changed the course of countless lives.

[E Daves]

I agree that students are always at the receiving end of these kind of situations. That is why they march for peaceful protests. The government sometimes want to shut them up because they feel that the students are not equipped enough to oppose them, so they could do whatever they want. The government just feel like they can get away with many things.

[E Daves]

This book shows the translation of what occurs in reality. Like in most developing countries, students are forced to stay at home in the event of strikes even when the students have played their roles by paying fees. Also, in developed countries, school shootings are a result of poor decisions made by the government.

Strike actions are always frustrating students. Making them stay more years in school than they had bargained for. Even during insecurities in a country, students are always at the receiving end.

[E Daves]

I think it's a difficult world for students especially when the older generation fails to understand them .Students seem not to be understood or even given enough room to express their feelings thus creating a gap in the society.I think they should be part of the process to avoid riots.

I agree. If the student body are allowed in some decision making process in government, there will be less riots and protests. Students are the future of the country. I don't understand why their interests are not being prioritized.

[Azuka Jessica]

You are not wrong. Despite the talks on equality, the government still see themselves as superior and most times, enjoy exerting their power and authority on students whom they consider weak and fragile.

[Unity Bowling]

I think even looking at situations like the Vietnam War in the US, students were heavily impacted. The draft in general tends to impact students, as young people are more likely to qualify medically, etc. Even students who aren't immediately involved in the war itself are still impacted, as they may have to put their education on pause, or be unable to continue their education for a myriad of reasons after the war.

[Peace10]

I so much agree with your statement. Not only in war, even during strikes, students are the most affected. It’s sad that the authorities does not regard this.
