We spontaneously formed a national guard to ensure that no unlawful activities would occur. Members were self appointed and put an arm band on to signify their participation and protected against violence and looting. The other thing we did was announce on the radio that farmers should send food into the city. We placed collection boxes on the street corners so those with money could donate for those who were in need.
