I would like to congratulate Veronica for his most sincere post.
It certainly takes courage and determination to talk about certain things of
our past, especially when many of our brothers and sisters refuse to accept
the truth despite clear evidence and witnesses accounts like this one from
Veronica.
I second Veronica and applaud Godfrey Gonsalves, Floriano, Valmiki and all
the others for creating the right levels of awareness of this problem.
Best
Paulo Colaco Dias.
