Omar, thanks for this update. It is no surprise that Yaya will order the remand of Waa and Gambians better wake up. I urge the rest of the Alternative leadership and all Gambians to say no to this heavy handedness by the Yaya and the APRC. Folks, this is an injustice to all Gambians regardless of party afiliation and we should put a stop to it. I hope the Alternative would not sit and watch Waa abused by these criminals. It is time to fill the streets and jails and I urge the grassroots of NDAM and all Gambians for justice to camp at mile two and force Waa's release. This government needs to be given an ultimatum. We either get liberty or are willing to die for it. Yesterday was Ousainou, today is Waa, who is next, Halifa, Sidia, Hamat, OJ, etc.? Folks, this is not time for appeal, or lobby, or being faint at heart - it is time to demand dignity and justice and Gambians are tired of being abused by Yaya. It is about time we fill the streets. Folks, this arrest of Waa is by design and it is about time we use Operation No Compromize on Yaya himself.
