Gambia blames students for unrest

The Gambian vice-president, Isatou Njie-Saidy, has blamed the national
students' union for violence earlier this week, during which fourteen people
died.

The deaths occurred during student protests on Monday against alleged police
mistreatment of a colleague.

Mrs Njie-Saidy said the shooting started from the demonstrators themselves,
adding that the security forces only had blank ammunition, tear gas and
batons.

Correspondents say she did not clarify whether security forces used real
bullets once the violence started.
