This is the same guy, that consistently closed the border between Gambia and Senegal, hindering the re-export trade to other West African states and rendering a life of misery to small scale Senegambian traders, especially women folks. What a scheme! If we are not careful, Wade, Mbeki and Museveni [selected poster boys for NEPAD], will be laughing to bank, with their loot.
