Comrade: I really don't believe that another military takeover would do us any good either. We have to be aware of the hostility that prevails from the international community especially when a military coup ensues in a country. We can fight by other means, e.g. selective sanctioning as someone wrote earlier. A military takeover would only add to the nepotism that currently hampers development in The Gambia. Removing "the dictator" will not solve our problems. Removing the military will help ease it a bit. ANJ DAEGO TEH DAELOR JAMA CHI REWW BI! NGA NIOR MAKOYE PUR KA KAIRA NAATY INA BANGKOO TOR!
