    Woe for INSECURITY to say is security! = Caused by Our PRETENDERS & CRIMINALS as “LEADERS”? : Woe to such evil planners that are doing evils in order to get blood money, Woe to those who hides under the umbrella of religion, tribalism or politics in order to kill/or cheat the masses or the innocent souls. Woe to such evil hearts that can’t repent & seek God pardons! = O mighty God protects us against them & expose them, O Lord guide us to the right path & scatter them, O God make us to be among those who will inherent paradise and destroy them in this world & disgrace them on the day of requitals, amin/ amen.
