Tombong:
thanks for providing some basic information for the forum.  Help us understand how and why the Gambian security forces avoided any casualties despite being shot at by armed enemies of the state?  Why did the armed men kill students, who apparently may have freed some of them?  Is there a pattern, since none of the loyalist security elements were even injured during the January shoot-out as well?  Given that the government indicated that it would not take an unauthorized demonstration lightly, shouldn't we conclude that the killings were premeditated?

I hope you can address these questions.  Focusing on what Jammeh may have done for GAMSU and education in general is quite irrelevant here.  I don't recall any accounts of so many children being gunned down under any leader in the Gambia's history.
