My heart cries as I’m amongst strange people as tomorrow is not known; yet my faith lies in the hands of God.  My pain for my fellow countrymen looms more than my own. I beg and appeal for calm. Stop this wanton killing of each other!” end of quote.Buju Banton further states that our leaders must put aside their personal ambitions and seek to lead the people out of a clear and unselfish heart. The Gargamel’s ongoing trial on drug possession was again delayed.
