Regarding the building up of the new Gambia, the president and his
government should mindful on people's security not their own. If the NIA are
above the law, what kind of democratic state are we talking about? I for
one, think Yahya should straighten and reorganised this particular
department to stop harrasing people as gateway to gaining their political
security. People's daily life should not be treatning, they should be free
to pronounce their desmays without fear of being pick up by the national
gaurds.

Reading this kinds of stories from the Gambia news is really scarery. Things
like this should not left without addressing as well as the good things that
they have achieved during the last 7 years. Without doubt, His excellency is
very aware of this kinds of mis-behaviuors by the NIA and should therefore,
do something about it. We are all human being and should be treated as one
moreover, the NIA should know that nothing last forever. If you are in
to-day, save for tomorrow too.
