It's a pity the kids are buying his crocodile tears. The guy has no remorse
for what he has done. This is exactly what was said here earlier. "He wants
to foot the kids' bills."
I wonder how the Vice President, the Interior Secretary, and the Army
Commander are feeling? Must be feeling betrayed!! Those three need to
resign, and come out with the truth before it gets too late for them.
Pope, what's up with the web site? Time is running against us. The secretary
general probably has already left the country.
The struggle continues....

Ah! here he goes again, when will this man face tell the truth??

  Jammeh visits students, others at
                   RVH


The president, Yahya Jammeh, Friday visited the RVH to console students
receiving treatment for wounds received during the fatal clashes
of April 10 and 11.

Only 15 students are currently admitted, three of them at the Intensive Care
Unit.The president offered to take care of the students
provisions during their stay at the hospital.

Talking to Daily Observer  after receiving their first provision package,
several students thanked the president for his concern about their
welfare.

Musa Kanaji from Brikama-ba Middle School said, "We are very grateful to the
president." Assan Suwareh of Banjul Academy said, "We
are happy to see the president himself here and all we want to say is to
thank him for his sympathy towards us."

Yassin Jobe, Assan's mother said, "We are grateful even without the
provisions because his visit alone has given us a sense of comfort. We
know our children's fate is not his desire and it is God's will that they
are wounded. Others have died, so it is all the will of Allah."

Sainabou Camara of Bakoteh High School, Sainey Senghore of Essau, Baba
Suwareh of Crab Island and Bakary Njie of Pipeline
Comprehensive expressed similar sentiments.

The president also visited the other wards in the hospital, lasting four
hours. He chatted with the patients and offered prayers for the
sick.Among them was the RVH's eldest patient, 120-year-old Pa Alhaji Ceesay
of Kaur who harped on what he called, the president's
"messages of peace and stability" in the early days of the 1994 coup.

In a related development, a presidential delegation led by the
vice-president, Isatou Njie-Saidy, Thursday called on the bereaved families
to
offer the condolences of the government. The delegation included the
Religious Affairs secretary, Lamin Kaba Bajo.

At the home of Omar Barrow at Latrikunda German, Mr Bajo expressed shock
about the incident.He prayed for the souls of the late Omar
Barrow and other victims to rest in peace.

Kanifing Municipal Council chairman, Abdoulai Conteh, commended the
volunteers of Gambia Red Cross Society, saying they render
invaluable service to the community.

He expressed regrets about the death of Omar Barrow, saying,  "every body
felt it."He urged the Barrow family to have faith.In response,
Malanding Barrow, father of the late Omar Barrow, thanked the delegation for
their call.

He said he accepted the death of his son in good faith while stressing that
Omar was "very helpful" to him and his family.He called on
government to be more tolerant.Banding Drammeh, president of the Supreme
Islamic Council, was among the delegation..
