Ebou are you specifically refering to President Jammeh as the DEVIL AND THE BUTCHER? if i may ask.

like the proverbial three blind men describing an encounter with an
elephant. One catches the tail and claims that it was a big snake;
the other feels the trunk and declares that it was good meat; and
other touches the feet and say they were pillars. Such is the garden
variety apologists of Jawara and his cancerous legacy...they are all
in complete denial mode. How can one really understand a political
figure such as Jawara without integrating the Sir David Jawara, a
Christian veterinary doctor living in colonial grace and the broken
Alajie Dawda Jawara, Muslim patriarch chased out of town by some
young Army officers ? Inorder to bring unity, coherence and
impartiality in historical analysis one MUST synthesize all aspects,
moments, profiles and perspective of any given phenomenon. i.e.
Jawara will be judged by his actions from alpha to omega. Anything
less shall be out of context and poor judgment.

In another note, let me emphasize on an interesting observation. In
the history of Gambia the most dishonest citizens are the
apolitical...those who choose to distance themselves from their
immediate realities because the Lord has been good to them. These
are the do-nothingists, the so called "connected" parasites in any
society. They are lukewarm or otherwise cold-hearted snakes that
believe in nothing but their self-interests. Whilst Jawara was at
it, they were lurking the dark corridors of power making sure that
their piece of the cake is buttered too. Now when Mammon the devil
shows up they immediately resurfaced as the "experienced"
technocrats kissing the Butcher's ass until he fired their behinds.
One more time they turn born-again activists in cyberspace scorching
the minds of the simpletons...Chei!
