Reply to comment by SaintUlvemann in TIL in the tiny African kingdom of Lesotho, a local style of accordion folk music known as Famo has sprung a fierce bloody gang war which has contributed to its high homicide rate. Little-known to the outside world, scores of musicians and hundreds of DJs, fans, family members etc. have been slain. by delano1998

I admit I did not read the whole article as closely as I should have. But I do wish we could all love each other and work together to make things good for all humans. Why must we kill over gold or diamonds? Why must we kill and enslave others for cobalt and chocolate?

I mean ultimately it's just greed and a lack of love for your fellow man. People just want what other people have or can do for them.
