Bravo!

It is about time that people, especially the opposition parties in The Gambia
stopped giving legitimacy to the facade of a "normal electoral process" when
what is unfolding in our country is far from it.
 I also hope that the other opposition parties will stop doing what the
wollof call

"metel buki jamay jakkah neh eliman ba ngi"

and boycott this charade of an electoral process that has been an ongoing
clown act by the APRC and Gabriel Roberts.

This phony act is also the reason I have decided that engaging Gassa and the
rest of the Jammeh aplogists is an exercise in futility, simply because these
guys know the truth and are just " mouth pieces" for this regime. Histoy will
place them where they belong.
