Thanks Haruna. Well, Halake must continue saying that Jammeh is the greatest African revolutionary leader and respecter of human rights and the rule of law ever. Surely, Jammeh cannot be suddenly transformed from the glorious leader he was a few weeks ago into a hideous monster just because Halake finds himself arrested and hounded around. I suppose Halake did something really criminal to have been so demoted and punsihed by his former demi-god. I say good luck to him.
And you have a nice weekend Haruna.
