Saiks the criminality being perpetrated by this regime is beyond belief
apart from robbing the farmers and paying them with sweet words there are
lots of other nefarious issues that needs to be dealt with. These people are
no more that commercial entrepreneurs who operate a monopoly, exercising the
authority to engage in all areas of commercial life. The insitence to
appoint Baba Jobe as the majority l;eader despite the UN ban on his movement
is the obvious defiance that beggars belief. The fact that tourism, Air
tours and many other ventures are state controlled through a third party
speaks volumes about the political racket that runs the affairs of tha
nation.
