How convenient indeed! I guess once again, some people Jammeh wants out of the way, or some he feels he can sacrifice are serving as the scapegoats in this one so the APRC regime can find ways to curry favour with the U.S which to them also equals money to add to their loot. I am certain that the U.S can read between the lines on this one for the sake of our people and our country. The last thing we need is for our country and our people to be singled out and labelled " a terrorist nation" just because the tyrants who have seized our government are making up stories so they can have a dip in the terrorism budget to feed their insatiable greed while continuing to unleash their own brand of terror on our people. I think it is obvious to anyone that the only terrorism that goes on there is the one that Jammeh and his terror machine are dishing out to Gambians, and we wish we could add Jammeh and his henchmen to the international terrorist list. I think the U.S knows all of this too well, and we hope that Jammeh is not turned into another tyrant ally by the U.S, whose misdeeds they turn a blind eye to for their own convenience at the expense of our people.
