Katim, You have done a great job. I would add one correction and that is the 1996 elections were not won by Jammeh and his party. It was widely described as not being free or fair. That is a major yardstick unmet and hence denies the exercise the legitimacy of a normal election. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
