The waves of arrests, insults and physical abuse of opposition supporters and any person ready to speak the truth for that matter is definitely uncalled for. While i blame Gambians who voted for Yahya Jammeh in the past preidential elections for the reason best known to them which i will say is completely out of ignorance and discontent, coupled with selfishness, Yahya Jammeh and his henchmen should also at the same time stop brutalizing Gambian people for no just cause. Why insulting people, why assulting people, and why arresting people? Because they do not share the same ideologies with him. As Emmanuel Joof said in the Point published today, "the situation in the Gambia is sorrowful", because really there is no rule of law considering the behaviour of the government and its security agents, be it police, the military, or the members of NIA who are publicly known for their infamy. Yahya Jammeh should not treat Gambians inhumanly as if he should be worshipped and feared as God. Even Allah, the Almighty gives respect to a human being whether beivers or non-belivers in Him. So why brutalising people because they do not believe in what he says or does. Gambians have the civil right to speak against anything they see as unjust and is not in the interest of the country. I keep saying that Yahya Jammeh thinks he is better than Gambians and can do whatever he wants and get away with it because those who are defending the interest of the Gambia have no means to stop him. But Yahya Jammeh must know that there were many rulers who thought they had the same power to misrule and maltreat their country people, especially those who speak the truth, but they ended up destroying themselves, and their country and their people still live. God is all seeing and He is watching. It is hard though for Gambian people, but this day of suffering must sooner or later come to an end in our one time peaceful country. Whether anybody likes it or not, Yahya Jammeh is the president today, but whether anybody also likes it or not Yahya Jammeh cannnot rule the Gambia forever. He knows that for himself very well. For this reason Yahya Jammeh should try and act with moderation when dealing with people and bear in mind that no condition is permanent in this world, so are those people who think their lives in this world and hereafter are in the hands of Yahya Jammeh. Some gambians tend to forget that Allah, the Almighty is existing. But time will tell and truth shall eventually stand by itself. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
