Mr. Ebou Jalow, very interesting information. May I ask you, even they operate in cadre/cells, are their activities not know to their families and friends. ? Do neighbors not know if a young man in a compound is involved into something ? My knowledge of the ordinary gambian compound-life is, that nothing is "secret", they all know who you are, where you are going, what you do for a living, what you do when out at night, even the most private and intimate things. Therefor I should say that if a compound houses f.in. a member of AFPRC-youth Wing, people know. Are they trained to the utmost, to operate as f.in. FBI/CIA agents, or some sort of interior guerilla warfare ? I don´t understand how a political party can risk this. IF they incidentally should be caught in a criminal act, they risk a lot. Very interesting but also very alarming, is my opinion.
