Karim,
Anyone but Jammeh should have known that people like him will end up facing
the international court of justice for crimes against humanity. If you think
you can act with impunity in matters of human rights and the rule of law in
this day and age, then you better think again.
But of course, Jammeh, like Charles Taylor, Milosevic, Pol Pot and others of
their ilk get so drunk with power that they lose sight of the reality. This
is good news for the forces of justice in The Gambia and the rest of the
world. Thanks for sharing.
Baba
