[Gideon]

Afonso,

If the whole world can feel the sting of the feud, it means that there
needs to be more questions asked as well as solutions that will come from
all quarters, tech-community, lawyers, entrepreneurs evrybody has to join
hands otherwise such disastrous effects may be here to stay.

Regards
Gideon
