This was not true, the first round was conducted appropriately, my reporters were there . . . Maybe it was insecure over the newly-won power. However, withholding funding from the government, it is a blind alley and short-term approach not to support an elected government. It limits development. Institutions, grassroots, they exist and are striving to work.
Security is necessary, gangs seem to be running free, and there is no control.
It is true, people are afraid. Others and myself have protection. Between the criminal sector and police violence there is a thin line. Drug lords use violence for political ends. The police have a hard time of curtailing it.
