Political leader of the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) David Abdulah has warned that while a state of emergency (SoE) may give national security forces powers to stop crime and criminal threats, calling one too frequently could dampen its effects.
Abdulah made the statement on July 20, days after an SoE was called in anticipation of a possible spike in criminal activity.
“There is the famous story of the boy who cried wolf too many times. When there really was a wolf, people didn’t take him on,” said Abdulah in a virtual press conference on July 20.
