Karim: Believe me, Amnesty International (AI) and those responsible for our daily bread by giving us handouts are keeping a close watch on the progress of the human rights situation in Banjul. AI has an office out there, and their reports are almost always very accurate. Our performance in this area in particular, will determine whether The Gambia continues to receive handouts or not. I understand that the UDP had planned to rally over the weekend in Brikama, and given the regime's ban on any political rallies, which BTW I simply do not understand, a disruption was to be expected. Karim, do you know how the rally was disrupted? -Yus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
