The objective of this documentation of deaths taking place primarily in the Northern Peninsula is not to provide accurate data for survey. It is more an attempt on our part to give an idea of the deaths, murders and massacres taking place on a day to day basis with no room for appeal or justice. The diary is compiled from newspaper items. The average deaths by violence is estimated to be about 5 a day according to mortuary authorities. This diary compiled from newspaper items in no way reflects accurately the number of killings taking place in the Northeastern Province, but we hope presenting them in this manner will reveal the nature and the impersonality of the violence which stalks our land.
