Ebrima, I consider The Independent to be friends, but I agree with you entirely. At the very least, their editorial paints an inaccurate picture of Gambian reality as it is today. There simply hasn't been any development to speak of as far as this govt is concern. Why? Because for every step these people have taken to move The Gambia forward, they have since taken two steps backwards! Because of their corruption, incompetence, and sheer savagery, the country is worse off today than when Jawara and his govt were kicked out six years ago. It's hard to gather that picture from The Independent's editorial. So, I'm with you.
