Gambia-l: All it takes to get fired in The Gambia is to receive any kind of commendation from folks who are critical of the APRC. It's part of Jammeh's game--musical chairs, the political version. In case you decide to work for the APRC with the noble objective of changing things for the better, here are things that may get you fired: 1. Adherence to the Rule of Law 2. Commendation from Critics of the Regime 3. Name Recognition or Perceived Popularity 4. Uttering Unfavorable Statements (to Yahya) 5. Demonstrating Independence 6. Reluctance / Refusal to become a Praise Singer 7. Appearing in Yahya's dreams/nightmares 8. Good luck 9. Cutting Strings Loose(Puppet) 10. Flip of a dalasi coin by Yahya Why are we surprised by the firings? Amadou Scattred Janneh _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
