CORRECTION: Sir Dawda was never a soldier, so he couldn't have been "the Army Chief of Staff"..... Maybe, commander in Chief (Thief) of the Armed Forces. As per abandoning the people, well as we say in Nigeria: "who wan die". Or is it lack of conscience? Many a politician fall into this category. > And of course why he thinks that he should not stand trial in Gambian courts > for incompetence and derelict of duty? I'll have to wait for his response to this one!
