Comrade:  I really don't believe that another military takeover would do us
any good either.  We have to be aware of the hostility that prevails from
the international community especially when a military coup ensues in a
country.  We can fight by other means, e.g. selective sanctioning as someone
wrote earlier.  A military takeover would only add to the nepotism that
currently hampers development in The Gambia.   Removing "the dictator" will
not solve our problems.  Removing the military will help ease it a bit.

ANJ DAEGO TEH DAELOR JAMA CHI REWW BI!
NGA NIOR MAKOYE PUR KA KAIRA NAATY INA BANGKOO TOR!
