Ur in a better place now!
All members of the IEGDC send their condolences to the family of Boduka Louis Mudianga who was killed on Silver Street, Monday afternoon. We would also like to extend our condolences to the family of Henry Bolombi who was killed three weeks ago in Edmonton. Already this year weve lost two of our young men in the area.
We believe that reasons for the rise in youth violence are a direct effect of the lack of community space. There are two generations of young people that grew up in Edmonton not knowing each other, coming from different cultural backgrounds and there is no where for them to collectively meet and engage with each other. The youth centres are poorly funded, there are no mediation services for young people experiencing violence and there is a lack of local political leadership. There have been cuts to government spending on youth programs and gang prevention and thus we have lack of social cohesion. Local political leadership need the will to deal with this issue; Politics are local and crime is local.
The community is fed up and ready to do something about the violence. There is a sense of frustration and a strong will to change. Our young people need to be made aware of the economic opportunity around them. There needs to be a comprehensive, public health approach to protecting our young people.
The IEGDC are in the process of organising an emergency community meeting to try and prevent any reprisals. We want youth, parents, service providers and anyone that feels strongly on the matter to attend. Perhaps this time around the frustration is strong enough to prompt the entire community to step up and make the necessary cultural change and save our children. We need street outreach, expanded mentoring efforts and early intervention. Our community and young people need support, something the grass roots community groups would be helping in ways the police and council cannot.
When I was still at school there was a strong sense of community cohesion in Edmonton. Youth centres offered sanctuary and youth workers often advised youth on how to deal with disputes without using violence. Its clear that the lack of available resources for young people and prevention programs plays a key role in the rise of youth violence. This week Police Commissioner Ian Blair said anyone caught carrying a knife should be charged no matter what, but a few days later we already have another young man that has died from a stabbing. By changing laws and giving tougher sentences you are not actually addressing the root of the problem or coming up with a solution. No matter how many times you change the law there will still be young people at risk. I think we should endeavour to prevent the youth violence instead of concentrating on punishments to be handed out. Prevention is better than cure but unfortunately its already too late for Henry Bolombi and Boduka Louis Mudianga.
May God show you his salvation!

I fail to do a lot of things I ought to do.
But Lord, when trails are steep and passes high,
Help me to ride it straight the whole way through.
And when in the falling dusk I get the final call,
I do not care how many flowers they send--
Above all else the happiest trail would be
For You to say to me, "Let's ride, My friend."
Amen

to this world
the world has to kill them to break them,
so of course it kills them.
It kills the very good and the very gentle
and the very brave impartially.
If you are none of these
you can be sure that it will kill you, too
but there will be no special hurry.
RIP - Now all that remains is faith, hope & love...
But the greatest of these is Love.

if the sun should rise and you find your eye all filled with tears for me,
i wish so much you wouldn't cry for me - the way you did today,
while thinking of the many fings we didn't get to say.
i know how much you love me -
as much as i love you,
now everytime you think of me i know you'll miss me too,
but when tommorow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven up above,
and said i had to leave behind all those i dearly loved.
but when i walked through heaven's gates i felt so much at home,
when god looked down and smiled at me from his great and golden throne,
he said this is eternity and all i've promised you,
for life on earth has passed,
but here it's starts a new,
i promise no tomomorow for today will always last,
and since each days the same there's no longing for the past.
so when tommorow starts without me don't think we're far apart,
for everytime you think of me im right here in your heart.
RIP

But thats is nothing new,
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before too,
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name,
Now all we have is memories,
And your pictures in frames,
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part,
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our Heart..
Louis you was a good guy & you had so much to look forward to in life.. Rest In Peace B..
You'll always be loved & never be forgotten..
