Hi:
I would be very careful about taking this awful news report at face value.
It seems as if every time the issue of HIV comes up, these Westerners are
quick to point at Africans as the source of the disease and therefore the
most likely carriers and scapegoats.  This, despite the fact that their top
scientist are still unable to conclusively prove that this disease came from
Africa.

If the police really want justice, they should also arrest the Swedish woman
that supposedly infected  the accused with HIV.   But for now, I believe this
borther should be given all possible support by the Gambian community in
Sweden.  This to send a clear message that we as a people are one, and we
will not support this modern day HIV witch hunt that seems to be perpetrated
against Africans.

I hope the accused  is vindicated of this horrible crime.
