Saul,
Well I totally agree but I was a little shortsighted. I am thinking they
were keeping the students
until the lead of the Bucthers is back, then he will use them as a cheap
propaganda by releasing them.
His slaves are busy spreading lies, denying the truth. Oh Isatou Njie who
told you the shooting started
from the Demonstrators. Ah Jatta, the students Marched with you through the
streets, but you said the manhandle
you? Lair!!! when did u release then? LAIR!!! WOw !! Badgie you are doing it
best again keep it up you shameless creature! You know that you will be the
scapegoat so you are trying to please Bucther Jammeh!
A. Drammeh.
