When two elephants fight, the grounds they say suffer. When three elephants fight, the ground and the sky presumably suffer. But when four or five elephants fight, the whole nation suffers.
The 2011 election has so far been greeted with a lot of political diversity. Issues have been politicized, insults have been hurled at people, bombs have been detonated and propaganda seems to be the order of the day.
As the election approaches, elephants have stepped out from their domiciles to contest for the coveted throne. Those political commandos have pitched their camps in all nooks and crannies of the country devising ways and strategies for the polls. Some has resorted to violence, blackmail, libel, and shipment of illegal arms into the country.
As the political tensions of the country mount, the masses are short of words of the rising situation. No one can foretell what will happen next. With the polls drawing closer, it appears things have fallen apart, but the question we must not forget to ask ourselves is: who stands to gain and who stands to lose?
