Malanding,

Don't mind the a**hole! Their actions and utterances will forever remain
tatooed in our brains. We will deal with them all at the appropriate
time.

They are the top dogs today, but, "every dog has his/its day"!

Regards,

Madiba.

Speaking to GRTS yesterday in his office, he said security commanders have confirmed that their orders to their forces were to use rubber bullets and tear gas only to put down the demonstrations. He said the information they got from intelligence reports was that there were civilians who were armed with guns.  Mr. Badgie said they are yet to confirm whether the deaths were caused by life bullets, and they are waiting for reports from pathologists who are examining the bodies of victims. But he challenged anyone who can confirm that security forces used life bullets to report the matter to relevant authorities. The Interior Secretary said the demonstration called by the Gambia Students Union did not receive permission from the police, because the students refused to pick the permit from them.
