Ginny, With all due respect, I cannot imagine how you can compare Egypt to the Gambia. That is like the Earth and the Sky. The Gambia is a model in Africa, considering her democracy, leadership, good governance, human rights, and economic growth. So please do not compare the two. Additionally, we have a leader who ALL Gambians love. Please revise those comments.
