It never stops to bug me that some people seriously believe that yaya
will step down without some force or help from outside sources ! Isnt this
the same guy who ordered the April massacre of school children!What can be
more mindburgling! There is no way
that he will givein by elections! certainly not when monitored by Gambians
he can intimidate!
