The barbaric violence jolts us to the dark reality that in some areas of the country, there is virtually no state as warlords rule by terror with their private armies. The darker truth is that national politicians help these warlords rise in power and maintain their power by seeking alliance with them to access the votes that the latter can command during elections. ...
