TJRC should approach its mandate with sense of history

Good article. Historic injustices must include the colonial period otherwise the wholse exercise will be not only a waste of time and money but will easily open new area of problems. Everything that has happened since 1963 has too too much to do with the colonial period for the pre period to be ignored. We also need some real historians and proferssionals on TJRC.

There are too many skeletons in the closet...too many to be handled by a single mandate. By setting up the TJRC, we are literally opening up a Pandora's box of "historical injustices". We people of NEP alone would bog the TJRC commision with our issues 1) mistreatment during the shifta war 2) The Wagalla massacre 3) The incessant marginialization by succesive governments As you can see, each community/area has too many unresolved issues. Seriously speaking, the TJRC would easily lose track and end up going on a tangent. Talk about failing to see the wood for the trees.
