"COMRADES ARE RIGHT"

By Don Owino

Peaceful demonstrations turning into riots, when comrades put up demands; they are a regular occurrence in campus. Stones flying from the blue and bonfires skilfully set in two minutes flat are both mysterious and terrifying parts of them. There are several techniques you have to know if you want to make it in one piece.

COMRADES POWER

Ensure you are in the midst of comrades, unless you are an activist and prepared to face the consequences. Wear dull colored clothes so that incase you offend someone you won’t be conspicuous enough to be found. Leaves will help you cover your face and keep mobile to avoid being singled out for a one on one confrontation! WATER As teargas is a necessary evil in riots, identify source of water or carry your own bottle of because that gas is Not happy gas. Water is life, enough said. 

NEVER FALL DOWN
Hang onto a fellow comrade until you can stand up again.Once you fall down it won’t be easy to get up as it will be every comrade for himself and MUSO chair for us all, with a side dish of broken bones and a topping of blood to match.

DON’T. GET.CAUGHT.
Remember you were not striking until you are caught by the police. They will ever faithfully get you up and going with well-aimed clobbers. It might be that they enjoy the chase.

MONEY

Last but not least have some money in case things go awry and you may need to quickly exit the campus and realize the fare has been doubled.

REMEMBER: A comrade is always right; except when he is wrong.
