I and some colleagues came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be wrong and unrealistic for african leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. it was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle.
