Yusupha,
Your point is very clear,to add up to that,what makes me more upset is the
point raised by the author in the article,how can you do such things in the
presence of children ?Is this the true culture of the Jolas,have such things
been happening in the open,without being related to special cultural events
and at specific places.It is all about the paranoid nature of this regime and
the continuous struggle to mystify Dr Jammeh and nothing else.God bless our
nation.

Saiks,
I have actually seen something very similar to the parading of these armed
vigilante groups (eg Sindola). A good example of this type of threatening
behavior was the case of the armed "Interhamwe" groups in Rwanda. They also
marched around with crude weapons, such as axes and machetes, and were what I
would consider political vigilante groups. We all know what happened there
and the same precedent is being set back home by allowing these morons in our
independence day parade.
Saiks, this information is sending shivers down my spine. Hopefully, the
next elections will usher in a new period in our political history.
BTW, concerning the elections, what process do we have to go through to vote
in absentia? I strongly urge all members of the L and Gambians abroad to cast
their votes so that we can change this alrming trend that is taking place in
our country.
Yus
