I hadn't read this before I sent my previous posting, or else I would have
listed this latest barbarous act on the catalog of the lawlessness visited
on ordinary Gambians on a daily basis by the illegal government we have.
What can be more barbaric and cowardly than attacking George and his staff
in the middle of the night and attempting to set them on fire? There is no
doubt in my mind that Yaya and his bunch of bandits are behind this heinous
act. They are the only people in The Gambia that will have the evilness and
the stupidity to perceive George as an enemy. They are also the only people
that have access to the instruments of hate used to perpetrate this callous
act. Their boldness shows signs of people that are confident that the
authorities sanctioned their actions. They cannot silence George or the Good
message that emanate from his radio station. Thank God he is alive. From the
bottom of my heart, I wish George a speedy recovery and wish him well with
his family and staff. The Hell fire waiting for Yaya and his cohorts is
zillion times hotter than the fire they set.
