As the saying goes " A fool and his money are soon parted", it appears that
the Butcher of Kanilai has been done.

Is it a coincidence that President Jammeh's disposition and acts reflects
former Dictator Idi Amin's actions, or does Yaya Jammeh has the propensities
to act in like manner? or indeed is acting in like manner.

I just stumble into an article about Idi Amin and I found many similarities
between the two, very much similarities that if their body build was not
different, I would swear that he Idi is the Gambian President.

My observations rested amonmg other things,  the various accolades and
awards conferred on both,the building of Palaces, the intimidation meted out
to their own people by so called Security Service Agents, the Hiring and
Firing at will of state functionaries, detention, incarceration and beating
of political opponents, the emptying of Central Bank coffers for personal
use without due authority and a plethora of human rights abuses too many to
be listed.

What surprises me most was the two dictators reliance on President Ghadaffi
and Cuban support to consolidate their power. It appears to me that Gambians
are dealing with a very dangerous man who should not be underestimated at
all.

I hope when President Jammeh's end is nigh, the Gambia wont experience the
same situation as Uganda and that the fool's  ill-gotten wealth will be
recovered by the Gambian People.

Mohin

Peace
