Jabou,
This is disgusting and an cowardly act from Jammeh and his Gang. They should face up to the facts on the ground and deal with the economic hardship rather than terrorising people. People at home don't have time for these cowardly act. When your country is going under fire you find solutions but not increasing your victims. These people me sick to the stomach.
Jabou, if any one tells you that things are fine at home, i said it is not true. We are on the ground and the situation i can't even explain it. You really have to be home to understand what the people are really going through. You have to stay with the people, i mean "the people" to really know what it is like to be in a situation where you have struggle to feed yourself and your family. The situation at home is critical and we should not fool ourselves. People can say whatever they like but the reality on the ground is terrifying.
Jammeh and his Gang should be man enough to deal with the problems. They are very skillful in arresting people but to address people's needs is another thing.
NB:
Ebrima, it is good to see you back on the L, the struggle for the betterment of the Gambia should be our common responsibility because being home or away we are all affected one way or the other. See you soon.
The Struggle Continue!!!
