#1 The attempt at European colonialism in the last century has obviously led to an upsetting of a delicate societal balance which has confused tribal and cultural mores. Therefore, I blame colonialism. In time, possibly four to five thousand years, majority rule and self governance will allow old wounds to heal and produce recovery.

#2 "Her husband fled into the forest before the ordeal began."

And didn't take his family with him?

Not a "man" at all.

#3 These rapists are from a different culture and all cultures are equal and must be respected.

#4 Besoeker, don't be daft. They've been doing this before colonialism. It's a very old form or warfare, and not just as part of Africa. Shoot, even chimpanzees practice it. Matter of fact, I'd guess the attempt at colonialsim didn't last long enough to erect a stable government. It worked in the Phillipines of the US.
