and his entourage of low-lives and thieves who forced and bullied their way
to power in the Gambia. It was Jammeh who said he was a soldier with a
difference and that he was too good to be a politician. Yet 7 years on
the imbecillic buffoon has scared the hell out the
ordinary Gambian people to remain in power. As we all know
genuine change is not easily attained, it is something people fight and die
for. It is time for Gambians, as my friend Haruna Darboe observed to
sacrifice and struggle for genuine democracy and development.</P>

><P>Jungle Sunset and Tombong should be ashame of their sycophancy. I
just hope the former would get it in his skull that even kids know that
democratic change is a process and that participants should engage
each other in good faith in an ideal world. Jammeh and his cohorts are
unscrupulous dim-wits who have no semblance of decency
or civility. Why is Mr Jungle Sunset bend on spinning
Yahya's despicable record? It is really exasperating but not surprising
coming from someone exhibiting psychotic tendencies.</P>
