>Such misplaced statements are  well documented.   Their arguments are

>We have more unemployed  youths today in The Gambia for the first time in

>Jammeh is  on record for having said that "this is a  military government
>with a difference"  Indeed, since he Yahya had robbed Gambians in a span of
>11 years.  He had  risen from "poverty stricken military lieutenant to the
>position of the most richest president in Africa".   Prior to the July 22ND
>coup Jammeh did not own a car not to talk of a landed property.   But
>today, we  are hearing about his Morocco villas and Kanilai Manson.
>It's reported that he had erected  an under ground house in Kanilai.
>This reminds me about  the Liberian executive Manson.    Where is dictator
>Charles Taylor today?  With all his might and wealth,  he was forced to
>leave the executive Manson.   He is today a refugee in Nigeria, while

>Under Yahya's 11 year rule, Gambians had been exposed to all forms of
>terror ranging,  from abduction, false arrest, torture and extra judicial

>Our country is today at cross roads.   There is no indications to suggest
>that Yahya Jammeh  will step down from power  honourably.   He is ready for
>the worst to maintain the office of the presidency.    Reading his
>statement on the sacking of the IEC chairman, Jammeh is telling Gambians
>that he is ready to crush anybody who is bent on "disturbing the peace" of
>the country.   I'm compelled to ask  this question.   Who is disturbing
>Gambia's peace today?  There is no  person disturbing our cherished peace

>Gambians should stand up be counted against the maladministration taking
