The latest action by Jammeh and his criminal regime doesn't suprise anyone. It is therefore, important that members of the opposition come together and ask for the immediate and unconditional release of Darboe and the others and if the Jammeh refuses to do that, then a peacefull demonstration that will reender the country ungovernable should be called. Jammeh is criminal should be seen and treated as such.
What is more rediculous is to see the opposition pretending as if we have a functioning democracy in the Gambia instead of calling it what it is , a total brutal democracy. The attempt by the UDP to go to the courts could only work in a democratic society and not in the Gambia. Jammeh has demonstrated over and over again his total disregard of the constitution and the rule of Law.
Enough is Enough!
