Sister Jabou
I quite agree with you and this is should be a matter of grave concern to
all gambians.
I wish Yaya have given him the same treatment as he gave to Valentine
Strasser when he was in the gambia seeking refuge.These people are criminals
and should be brought to justice.
I really dont know how Yaya is going to take care of these people
economically and socially when ordinary Gambians are finding it very
difficult to feed their families.
Secondly, the criminal activities in the gambia committed by aliens is more
than enough. Teh funniest thing is that you dont see these people during the
day, all their activities are at night.

i hope and pray that Yaya come to his senses and get rid of these people
before its too late.
