The tragic destruction of homes and killing of innocent people from one village to another is quite troubling.

This is totally condemnable and unacceptable!

And even more troubling is the fact that the killings and wanton destruction have continued unabated.

The situation is beginning to look more like an earth scorching campaign as opposed to the usual attack on sleepy communities.
