Fye and Momodou,
This is really disturbing if Gambians are brutalised for enjoying what nature has given to them. I can't just imagine that this can be my brother or even sister innocently walking on the beach. I just can't get over the inhumane behaviour of the Army. How can they brutalised people they are suppose to protect? Why is our Army so brutal as if they are not part of our society?
This is how brutal the Ghanian Army use to be until President Kafour came in and put them in their rightful places. Even today the Ghanians are so scared of the Army because of their brutality, inhumane behaviour and attitude. The Army in Africa is a symbol of brutality and wickedness, this has to change.
I hope that the Gambia Tourist Board will look into this.
The Struggle Continues!!!
