Prayer the only solution to crime?

“WE need to pray to God, and not stop praying to Him, to put an end to this violence against the women and children of Namibia,” said Swakopmund Mayor Rosina //Hoabes at the last Council meeting.

//Hoabes said she wanted to add her voice to the “screams of pain and heartache” over the brutality that Namibia is experiencing at the hands of murderers and mothers who abandon their babies. She said only God could intercede and stop the brutality.She was referring to recent cases in which young women’s bodies were found dismembered and scattered across the country, and cases of newborn babies being abandoned by their mothers.”The past few months and weeks have been a traumatic time for all Namibians with the vicious murder of women, the abandonment and murder of newborn babies, and in one case, the burial of a breathing baby in the dunes of Walvis Bay,” she said.”The dumping of babies seems to have become a fashion among young mothers in Namibia.”//Hoabes said she could not begin to understand the circumstances that led to mothers dumping their babies, and that the nation needed to find a solution to the problem.She said only God could intercede and stop the brutality.She was referring to recent cases in which young women’s bodies were found dismembered and scattered across the country, and cases of newborn babies being abandoned by their mothers.”The past few months and weeks have been a traumatic time for all Namibians with the vicious murder of women, the abandonment and murder of newborn babies, and in one case, the burial of a breathing baby in the dunes of Walvis Bay,” she said.”The dumping of babies seems to have become a fashion among young mothers in Namibia.”//Hoabes said she could not begin to understand the circumstances that led to mothers dumping their babies, and that the nation needed to find a solution to the problem.
