All it takes to get fired in The Gambia is to receive any kind of
commendation from folks who are critical of the APRC.  It's part of Jammeh's
game--musical chairs, the political version.

In case you decide to work for the APRC with the noble objective of changing
things for the better, here are things that may get you fired:

1. Adherence to the Rule of Law
2. Commendation from Critics of the Regime
3. Name Recognition or Perceived Popularity
4. Uttering Unfavorable Statements (to Yahya)
5. Demonstrating Independence
6. Reluctance / Refusal to become a Praise Singer
7. Appearing in Yahya's dreams/nightmares
8. Good luck
9. Cutting Strings Loose(Puppet)
10. Flip of a dalasi coin by Yahya

Why are we surprised by the firings?
