We’d like to apologise to readers for the current suspension of commenting on our stories.
This site is currently being upgraded and the commenting function should be improved afterwards.
However, for this to happen, comments have had to be suspended for the time being.
Our IT people are working on this now and will restore the ability to comment as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they’re not sure when they will finish.
Meanwhile, to contribute your thoughts and comments, please email opinionsATnewsiom.co.im
