“I am worried that this animosity could damage the fragile peace we have worked so hard to establish,” he said.I implore all members of the security force to maintain composure, treat each other with dignity and respect, and be tolerant of one another because we are all here to serve this great state. As the government seeks long-term resolutions to these disputes, I beg for your understanding and patience.
