Hello Baba,
Since this forum is also a medium of infor and exchange of ideas,is it not
better for  you to tell us what has been said here that is wrong or what you
feel the government did that is right,perhaps this will be a more useful way
of contributing to this forum than just assuming that infor coming from the
Gambia could be wrong and in the name of democracy let people speak their
mind,don't try to corrupt it.Have a nice day.
For Freedom
Saiks
