Painful episode

The terrorist attacks in South Africa, in which more than 27 people were killed in two mass shooting incidents, are highly condemnable (“Gunmen kill 27 in two shootings in South Africa,” Sept.27, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, gunmen killed at least 27 people in two mass shootings in South Africa’s two main cities, police said on Sunday, in the latest violence to hit the crime-weary country.

The killing of innocent people by terrorists has now become a matter of serious concern for the South African government, which seems to be struggling to provide protection to its people.

It is the prime responsibility of the government to provide safety and security to its people, but mass shooting incidents in South Africa have become increasingly common, resulting in the deaths of a large number of people.

The South African government should take strong action against terrorist groups in the country and ensure the safety and security of its people.

The South African government should compensate the families of the victims and provide full medical facilities to those who were injured.

I would like to offer my condolences to the families of the victims and pray that the departed souls may rest in peace.
