Ginny,
My thoughts exactly. I am not sure what to make of the headline.
My understanding of sacking as described in the dictionary is dismissal from a job or as we say in America "fire".
After reading the article, I could not help but reach a similar conclusion.
Granted Jammeh is well known for sacking, this is non other than a REDEPLOYMENT of the three ministers. They are still working for him regardless of it being voluntarily or not.
I guess the question is wether the new assignments are preferred over supposed prestigious the ministerial (SOS) titles.
In all, I wish them good luck in their new endeavors.
Best Regards,
