Are we doing enough to avoid future rebels?

In every society, there is bound to be resistance and some who feel they are being oppressed. This feeling is not always immediate. Most times, the people who call themselves the resistance must have experienced hardship or sone levels of oppressions from those in the government.

So these people believe their only tool to make the government know their grievances is via violence. They form groups solely to frustrate the government so that their single voice can be head.

In most cases, these people go extreme in making sure their demands are met. They kill their captives sometimes to make a 'statement' and as a way to make people fear them.

I ask 'who should we blame for every life destroyed by these rebels'? The rebels or the government who is 'responsible' for their emergence?  

Who are rebels or what does it mean to rebel against anything?

Rebellion is a refusal of obedience or order. It refers to the open resistance against the orders of an established authority.

The rebel is the individual that partakes in rebellion or rebellious activities, particularly when armed. Thus, the term rebellion also refers to the ensemble of rebels in a state of revolt. Source

For whatever they stand for and whatever they choose to protect, taking of human lives in the process is inhuman and should be condemned in totality.  

But we need to ask, would there have been anything rebel had the government listened to their cries? Would they have formed any resistance group had government listened to their humble and nonviolence protests?

Whichever ways we choose to look at it, we all have our shares of their actions and inactions. The government need to listen to people's demands to avoid this barbaric situation.

I don't see why there should be rebels in the 21st century just because the government they elected to watch over the affairs of the state chose to watch over the affairs of his own pocket.

The government should understand that there is a government because there are people to govern. So their continued relevance lies on our continuous existence as the governed. 

We cannot continue to live in fear and kill fellow masses because of those we put in power. We need to set our priorities right and listen to the demands of the masses.
