The worst thing we can do to ourselves as a nation is to move on with our lives as if these murders never happened.The western world often declares an official day of mourning in such cases.The reason they do this is to make a statement, expressing the value they place on a life.And we in turn value the Europeans because of this.Who will value us as Africans if we fail to value ourselves.We ought to declare a public holiday as a day of mourning and build a memorial in honor of the dead and their families.That will send a message to the world that we do value our existence and a message to the instigators that we know the gravity of what they have done and that possibility of a trial.
