Say it ain't so . As usual All talk , no action & plenty of lip Service 

[ametad]

This isn’t the normal talking, but after 15-20 tears a few months or another year is only a drop in the bucket. Remember it’s only good news if the country doesn’t erupt in violence and peace and stability prevail for the next thirty years. It’s the test of time this must not only overcome but a foundational block of governance as well that’s being created in the region.
