The strip was a dangerous place to visit, and in fact, every night this business closed early, there was terrible insecurity in the land, and everyone wondered when this would end. We had achieved the dubious distinction of being dubbed the murder capital of the world.

I am happy in good time, and we were brave enough and courageous enough to do what was necessary we have been able to reverse the situation that was and to put our country in a stronger and safer place,” Prime Minister said.
