It is high time that the Gambian authorities start weeding out these lawless Senegalese criminals from Gambian society. President Jammeh has to act now. This foreign lawlessness should never be tolerated within Gambian society. It is a fact that President Wade is hatching a plot to destabilize the Gambia government in order to install a very weak government in Banjul. It is also a fact that some elements within the Gambia opposition are in bed with the devils in Dakar- thus their calculated silence with all these worrisome behavior of the Senegalese government. Weeks ago a prominent Senegalese paper was caught red handed inciting chaos within the Gambia. Few days later Gambians wake up reading in their newspapers about a senile Laye Wade threatening their sovereignty followed by armed/uniformed Senegalese soldiers matching nonchalantly downtown Banjul. President Jammeh please connect the dots...There is a sinister pattern of trespass, chicanery, and total disrespect towards
Gambians and their national property rights. This has to stop now. President Jammeh should make a diplomatic demarche to the international community in a strong language condemning Wade's ultimatum to a sovereign state, and denouncing the incursion of armed Senegalese soldiers into Gambian territory. President Jammeh, your silence on these issues shall be perceived by these French sidekicks in Dakar as a sign of weakness. The Senegalese have been insulting The Gambia for too long now. Enough is enough.

Immigration officer assailant gets 4years Written by Saffiatou Bah Wednesday, 21 September 2005 One Modou Mbye, a Senegalese, was last week convicted and sentenced to 36 months in prison by Moses Richards of the Bundung Magistrates’ Courts.
He was arraigned in court on a two-count charge of assaulting Corporal Bansang Sanneh, an immigration officer, causing actual bodily harm, and going armed in public.
For the first count, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison without an option of a fine, while for the second count, he was fined D8,000, in default to serve another 18 months in prison.
The accused pleaded guilty to the charge and the magistrate then ruled that he should serve out both sentences concurrently in Janjanbureh prisons.
According to the particulars of the case, on March 1 at the Tallinding Police Station, while the complainant, Corporal Sanneh, was on duty to round up aliens who are yet to regularise their stay in the country, the accused was arrested for not having aliens document and was asked to sit behind the police counter. While the complainant was busy with the other aliens, the accused sneaked up on him, stabbed him in the neck and then ran away.
He was later captured around the Tallinding Bantaba and charged accordingly, while the complainant was rushed to the Serrekunda Health Centre and later referred to RVTH, where he was admitted for weeks.
