Painful lessons that will remain in the psyche of most Gambians for years to come. Among the notoriety of Yahya Jammeh aka pea brains with a million titles and names , non earned non deserved, is his taste for alcohol, pork and prostitutes. He flaunt these immoral and reckless taste publicly as he does his penchant for murder and torture of innocent Gambians. Why will anyone vote for this man’s supporters and enablers. Just as Gambians booted this disgusting pig out of the state house in Dec, we must send all his associates, loyalists and collaborators in the APRC packing out of Banjul. Vote for change, vote for education, vote for jobs, vote for clean water, vote for healthcare and vote for FREEDOM. Kick out Yahya Jammeh APRC tomorrow at the polls. Vote your conscience, vote for true daughters or sons of Gambia. Those that truly love and respect you. You know who they are.
God Bless The Gambia.

Never forget the days of July 1981 when Gambian civilians: men, women, children, old and young were butchered by the treacherous Senegalese invading forces who were deployed in The Gambia at the command of Ex-President Jawara, Ex-President Abdou Diouf and BBDarboe.
Never forget the days when our women were raped and our civilians illegally detained and maimed by the Seenegalese invading forces with their Ex-President Jawara loyalist forces.
Never forget the days when our civilians were cramped in the filthy Banjul police gaols where they suffocated under intense heat, nasty odour and lack of oxygen.
Never forget the days at the aftermath of July 1981 when Mustapha Danso was put in Senegalese security custody in his own country bludgeoned to inconscience and later executed by hanging.
Never forget the days when our rural elders were arrested at the aftermath of July 1981, illegally kept in custody on charges of belonging to the defunct NCP.
As the Jews never left behind the atrocities of the Nazis, conscientious and impartial free-born citizens of our lovely country will ONE day uncover the crimes committed by the perpetrators who invited the Senegalese forces to cold-bloodedly murder our citizens.
The truth will come to light. In Sha Allah. We are waiting for the truth behind that gruesome act of genocide on our noble citizens.
