Karim, I advise you ignore Cous Fakoo Fakoo. I know its tempting to respond to his erstwhile idiocies, but please stay true north.

Haruna.

Hey,

Please do as AGERA did with Jawara's visit to Atlanta and soon to DC. What is all this empty barrel noises for? The British have their own human rights issues as evidenced by the recent closure of News World. Don't let the West fool you. They are not perfect and we should should not always follow them. We have a great leader and he deserves our support.

The Campaign for Human Rights in the Gambia will hold an information stall in Buchanan Street, Glasgow on Sunday 17 July from 2pm. This is an advance of a UK day of action on Friday 22 July in London when campaigners will lobby the Nigerian High Commission. Nigeria currently Chairs the influential Economic Community of West African States. It also provides many of the hired judges who make decisions in the Gambian courts.

In recent years, claims that enforced disappearances, torture and extra judicial executions are taking place in the West African country, have increased. Amnesty International reported in 2008 that Gambia was ruled by Fear.
President Yahya Jammeh who came to power in a bloodless coup in 1994, will not campaign for his own re-election in November because he is so confident of winning, say local commentators. In a recent six-week voter registration exercise, 869,600 people signed up to ensure they will receive a vote. The country has a population of 1.7 million of whom more than a quarter are under voting age.
