He even went for guerrila warfare training so as to be able to know how to lead this faction properly.

Thus the comment “non- violent approach” is erroneous to say the least and is putting the government – yet again in a bad light.

But barely, Nadine. Have you not seen him at the President’s run/walk, surrounded by ten bodyguards, so no one could touch the icon?

Walking the streets means meeting, greeting, listening and lowering oneself to the level of suffering common folk. But not Joseph ta’ Burmarrad, as he is untouchable.

I had only read good things about him before, Malta is only a tiny country but if it had been bigger and more important to the world I think our very own Eddie would be a much better role model than Mandela. Indeed he already is to me personally and to many Maltese.
