Well said Fye. This  article is outright rubbish and the source's failure to mention the shooting death of a UDP supporter by the military is very troubling. What is more troubling is the shooting happening just days after Jammeh had threatened to shoot on sight. This is very sick and i hope the people are paying attention. To the electorate i say, don't be intimidated by these thugs, Jammeh must be voted out of office. This madness should come to an end and you the electorate are capable of making this happen. Your power is far more superior than jammeh's, go and vote this man out of office.
The Struggle Continues!
