Well I had to make sure that was exactly what he said. I was not trying to
second-guess at all.
I was not in The Gambia, so I thought I'd ask if he really said what was
attributed to him. In fact
I went as far as to write that perhaps he is suffering from forgetfulness.
Is this a crime??


And please do not pigeon-hole or  categorise people, for human nature is
much more complex than that.


I'll ask for verification, and if it is true that he truly said that, then
I'll be very disappointed,
for he was not in living in Mars when all the murder was going on in our
country and for him to turn around and
say that the Jammeh "had upheld the rule of law and justice in the country"
is well, do I really need to say any more??

If you have a problem with that, then am afraid there isn't much I can do.
I do not have a problem with folks acting as if "butter won't melt in their
hands" (like they say in the UK)
or people trying to sermonise every posting to the GambiaL, so pls be
tolerant of my problem with all things
"Jammeh" (and I sure am not ashamed of saying that).
