UNITED STATES TERROR ATTACKS

STATEMENT ISSUED BY BANTU HOLOMISA, MP
UDM PRESIDENT

The UDM extends its condolences to the families of victims of terrorism in United States of America. We are dismayed by this news.

We believe that the US will pull through this tragedy. The possible links to the situation in the Middle East have yet to be confirmed, but if it proves accurate, it should emphasize once and for all that that situation requires a global and united effort by the whole international community.

Be that as it may the world cannot tolerate any attack on democracy, after emerging from a century characterised by war and oppression.

In times such as these it is vital that cool heads prevail and that the escalation of this situation be avoided at all costs.
