I’ve kept this video on my drive for years. I was part of the Watchdog team when we were building the timeline of the SLPP attack on GotaGoGama. This footage arrived just after we published, so it stayed buried. But every time I watch it, that same anger and heartbreak comes back. We need to archive this so it isn’t forgotten or rewritten.

It is heavy. You see people who just wanted a better life being met with sudden, organized violence. It captures the exact moment the peace of the Green was shattered.

With everything that’s happened since, it’s easy to forget the visceral fear and the courage of those who were there. I’m posting this today because history shouldn't have gaps. We need to remember exactly what was done to peaceful citizens.
