“Political reconciliation” doesn’t sound like they intend to “stomp out” anyone.

Whatever you think about this military coup, there haven’t been any attacks against Christian churches since they’ve taken over. With any luck, they’ll kick some MB butt. Some cultures require a boot to the neck to be peaceful.

[We] will definitely react harshly against any calls for violence or black terrorism...

Wish we would "react harshly" against black terrorism in our major US cities.
