Editor,

RE: "Why we should cease posting graphic photos on social media” (The New Times, January 10).

Human beings must stop killing each other, then nobody will post those horrific images nor will these be used for NGO fundraising. It is a shame that you people are trying to annihilate one another in this modern era.

By the way, have you seen how people in West Africa decimated by Ebola were thrown in mass graves for burial? Just a people with less dignity! On all accounts, and everywhere, blacks are an endangered race, but some seem not to realise that.

Posting pictures of machete-wielding fellows is not a problem now; the problem is those criminals among us. STOP, we are in the 21st century.

The gruesome images from Burundi described are posted by Burundian journalists, as there are no more "Western” journalists in Burundi anymore, and I understand their objective: To witness the murders perpetrated by the Burundian government.

It will probably hurt their families if a name is associated with the picture, but the first intention is to inform outside world.
