Jawobana, you have said it all. The truth cannot be buried. These people
will certainly be held accountabale for the lies and misinformation, they
are spearheading in the name of defending the Kanilai boy. We do know that
Saja, want to keep his job to the deteriment of his fellow Gambians.
Sonner or later the truth will prevail. Let justice guide our actions.
Lies will not save them from the inevitabele change.  The new Gambia, will
be interesting. A lot of stories are in the mind of those wronged....We
hope Saja, will tell us how he used to write editorials just to satisfy
Jammeh. We will not buy any bogus story that he Saja, was under duress to
write such nasty stuff things against decent Gambians. You have the option
to resign or refuse to be used by Jammeh. We are witnessing the days of
the late Eddi Amen of Uganda. God save The Gambia. Our nation is in wrong
hands.....
