Jabou,
May I please repeat my assertion that ISATOU NJIE,
who is married to JAY SAIDY and now the Vice President of the Gambia, is not a
born-Gambian. NO real Gambian-born mother will order troops to shoot at innocent
students demonstrating. Had it been a practice in the Gambia to slaughter
and maim students when they collectively demand for what is theirs, many of us
would not have been here today.
I even believe that mentioning this woman on
the List is making her more important than she thinks she is. She is no more
than one of Yaya Jammeh's hand-picks. Yaya Jammeh's incompetence
is what put her where she is today. When Jammeh goes, the hag ("Doma") will
also find way. I said "when" and not "If", because I am convinced that
Jammeh Must Go.

and principles ? In
our
Gambian communities, these are scarce
commoddities.

I'm afraid if
the allegation that Isatou Njie Saidy was the one who carried
out Jammeh's
order to open fire on the students, she already compromised not
just
herself, but her ability to be an accepted member of our society
forever.
