Kabir and Sister Jabou
  Thanks for your comment. What is happening in Gambia is madness. Recently I learned that the regime have a list of people who are to be arrested if they step their foot on the Gambia soil. I cannot imagine what Jammeh's regime is planning for our country. This system is place is going to drag our country into civil conflict. The state of fear will no longer continue. It is now a disgrace for one to associate yourself as a Gambian. Jammeh have destroy everything associated with that country. Now the only thing he is using as insurance is tribalisation of the civil service.

  Kabir,

Unfortunately, this is what happens when a country is led by a madman. Whatever madness Jammeh engages in, it is attributed to Gambia. He has ruined the name and reputation of our country because the seeming lies being perpetrated by Jammeh and his fellow rogues is that he is supported by a majority of the people in this madness when it is evident that fear of ending up among his many victims and helplessness is why the people inside that country can only talk about his insanity in whispers.

Meanwhile, for the rest of his posse, if Jammeh says the sky is green, they will come forward and debate heaven and earth to maintain that indeed the sky is green although they know better than anyone that it is a blatant lie. But support him they must because Jammeh staying in the position he is in serves their purposes and that is what is important to those who have and continue to make fools of themselves at the expense of jeopadizing their ability to co-exist with the rest of their compatriots when Jammeh is no longer there.

Isn't the trial of Fatou Jaw Manneh the biggest farce of them all? Once again the APRC regime and it's indentured servants trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, calling that circus a trial with NIA agents giving testimony about how Jammeh is a good leader and what he has done for the country. Are these the only responses they have to the accusations of injustice, corruption, greed, murder and incompetency levelled against them and which are all fully documented and isn't that further proof of their guilt? They have nothing to testify about in that trial and the transcripts of these ridiculous and irrelevant rantings passing as testimony are so embarassing to read and so sad because it reflects what our dear country had been relegated to.

I guess Yaya Jammeh in his simplistic mind wants to use this farce of a trial to try to vindicate himself of all his evil deeds and to sell his so-called progress that is laced with blood, and it never ceases to amaze me how he can always get some clowns to dance to his tune, but then again, the clowns get paid to dance.

We have been attempting to expose this man to the World for years and the World has now finally come to listen and to know what we have been screaming about and what our people have been subject to all these long years, and Jammeh himself added the final nail on the coffin towards his exposure with his outrageous AIDs cure claim and his continous effort to violate the rights of innocent Gambians on a daily basis will continue to serve as further proof of the lawlessness of these illegal bandits that have taken our country hostage, the case of Fatou Jaw Manneh being the latest blunder.

This regime has gotten away with so much in The Gambia that they have now become drunk with their own madness that the abuse of power tends to inflict and they have actually come to believe that they can now try those same stunts on the rest of the World and the fallout has just started coming in.

Poor Gambia! Whatever happened to "Yaya Jammeh accused of Aids subterfuge"? 

It just had to be "Gambia" - a whole nation being accused of lying.

Kabir.
