Gassama:
Your above statement really echoes the old statement; much ado about nothing.
 IMO, the article you have forwarded neither shatters the myth (which btw you
have not quantified or explained) nor reveals much about the President
Jammeh's attitude towards the Opposition.

Since you are on the ground there, I suggest you take a field trip out there
and hopefully, you will give us a better assessment of the place rather than
the mumbo jumbo you so brilliantly managed to decode,

"Further quizzed on his Kanilai experience, he said: "I went to the place
looking very inquisitive, but I did not see much of the exaggerations about
Kanilai. It is not different from most of the villages in The Gambia, except
for a huge wall that surrounds normal houses like those found in Fajara or
along Kairaba Avenue. Apart from some big American cars, I did not see much
difference between Kanilai and towns like Brikama or Bansang or any other
place. I sincerely believe that there is an over exaggeration about Kanilai",
Bah further remarked"
