Gambia-L: The amount of mail coming in regarding the Monday massacre even from the silent subscribers is just impressive! The pressure does not have to begin and end in demonstrations and petitions. President Jammeh's government is recalcitrant, fool-hardy and suicidal to say the least. It has to go! It is the duty of every Gambian to exercise his/her civic right and vote the APRC out. Nothing personal; we're all just getting tired of the debates. I still cannot fathom how Mr. Jammeh has in less than a decade turned the clock back to the old political debates of freedom of assembly and of association, bribery and corruption. The cowardly shooting of rock-throwing children tells us the level of paranoia he has succeeded in putting his security forces. I'm at a complete loss as to who is who among them, anyway: Police, Fire-fighters, Police Intervention Unit, Paramilitary Unit, oh I almost forgot, the dreaded July 22nd Youth Wing... Every one of these forces has at one time or another abused, intimidated, abducted, tortured or killed a Gambian citizen. And this with impunity! Unless if I'm day-dreaming, I cannot see any justification for the APRC's continued stay in power. Hamadi. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
