G-L'ers, I analyze the President's speech and have detected, like most of us, the Inconsistencies and contradiction that exits and to post it on the L For your comments. 1.The opening and closing of the speech with bismilahi and asalamualaikum Is design to enhance the image of Jammeh as a devout Muslim, which Used to be appealing to Gambians; I don't know now. 2.The President, in his speech, decided to blame both the students and the Security personell, unlike the Vice President and the secretary Mr Badjie, who put the blame squarely on the students. 3.The Vice President and Secretary Badjie accused civilian infiltrators As the murderers of the students but the President abstained from Such finger pointing and instead indicated his governments Intention to launch a full scale investigation leaving no stone Unturned to get to the truth. 4. The President said that he was working with his government As things were unfolding and happening back home whilst Attending the G77 summit. 5. The President referred to the murdered students as death of young People instead of the death of the students. Jammeh has sacrificed the VP and Secretary Badjie by taking A reconciliatory stand. Jammeh said he was working with his government whilst events unfold Which is a clear indication that he knows who gave the orders to murder The students and would therefore require less time to get to the bottom Of the investigation, which I believe should be done by independent people Outside the government to make it credible. Jammeh express his deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the Families and relatives of the murdered students, which reminds me of The behavior of rats in that whilst licking your feet they blow the feet Inorder you not to feel it. The whole speech is another Jammeh ploy.
