I join folks in wishing Mr. George Christensen and his staff for a speedy
recovery, I strongly condemn this brutal and in humane act which should have
no place in our decent society. This is a clear indication of Jammeh's
recent speech in which he threaten Radio Gambia staff and of course Radio FM
has got theirs as the beginning of his intention we must therefore prepare
for more, it is therefore necessary for Gambian to be extra vigilant and
ready to defend our constitutional rights.
The only way they believe can get away with the coming elections which they
know they have lost, is to harass and intimidate the people so that there
will be no elections or frighten people so that he could easily ridge the
elections.
May God save our Country.
