I was mercilessly beaten and kicked on the stomach, back and other parts of the body including the face resulting in the lost of my three teeth.After severe torture ... the Bully Boy grabbed me tightly by the throat and dragged me.....I met Foday Barry, Sukuta Jammeh, Baba Sarho, Babucarr Jallow, Ousman Jallow, Biram Jobe, Tijan Bah, Hydara, Rex Marong and other officers.The men ganged up on me and brutally unleashed all sort of torture on me until I passed out. I woke up many hours later in a wet and smelly cell.On 2nd July,...I was again denied food.... I was taken to the same room at the far end corner of the building where I was subjected to more horrific torture by the NIA officers acting on the orders of Tijan Bah and Biram Jobe until I could not stand on my feet.Edrissa Jobe, the bully boy, later dragged me by the ear to my cell where my mouth, nose and legs bled profusely throughout the night

Bax, He might not built Factories. But he is able to sent 95% young Gambians to primary school,comes Vision 2020,all these children will atlease gratuates from high school. He also champion girls education rated number(one) in the whole sub-region. Now clean water gets to the rural area by more than 70% and by Vision 2020, the whole Gambia will enjoy clean water. Rural Electrification is been centralize by region and by Vision 2020, all regions will get electricity, am not sure about regular services but atlease it will be there. first class road from Banjul to Koina and Barra to Basse/Barra to Amdalai. Thanks to pres. Jammeh,today people can call their families while they working in the farm. Health centre or hospital in all regions. security is paramout importance. THESE ARE ENOUGH REASON TO VOTE FOR HIM. ha...haa..haaaaaaaa.

Radiokangkang..

Don't you think you sound more like the interllectuals B4 is referring to here..? I know if you have the chance,you will vote for Jammeh and APRC..But for 18yrs,the man has not established a single factory to produce anything..

Instead,like his predecessor,he has continued the practice of being the "International Debt Collector" of the International Money Lenders...Dreaming about being Economic Superpower in 8yrs without any tangible evidence...Yet,you champion this illusionary VISION 2020..

That's what makes you one of them bro..Hahaha..Dream on..

b4Africa, My friend you're really an asset for Africa. I like to here positive idea's like these, man you think too much,this is exactly what we need to do. We have to start MANUFACTORING our own product,especia lly the basic things we used daily and to EXPORT them to neighboring countries. we will never balance our budgets unless we start PRODUCING. I thing with the help of the Goverments in Africa,these PRODUCTION will be possible. If they can take LOANS to build Factories,peopl e will start going to work get paid and take care their families,rather than buying expensive cars and luxury houses and too many compounds in the west.

NB, stop insulting peoples and start making sense. You are very SMART.

Bax, you are abolutely rigth but the saddest thing is that Africa(ns)canno t untilise these human-resources to benefit their people and their countires.Unlike Asians,we Africans are yet to take what we learn from the West and put it in our own way. Our so-called interllectuals, politicains,dic tators and individual opportunist are rubbishing everything African and embracing anything foreign.Africans with all those havard and oxford gradutes cannot make their own vehicle to run their own affairs to serve and develop their people and their nations/continent. African engineers cannot drive their own cars without going to a layman around the corner for repairing.Unless we ask Our interllectuals to stop working for our dictators,ask our medias to investigate and expose our corrupt officails,ask our electoral commissions to be independent to conduct free and fair elections,ask for exclussion of African militaries from our politics etc, these initives will do little in our nation building.

Great news..It's these types of co-operation that delivers the most benefits to those who need it...The knowledge and skills acquired as a result,apart from enhancing our Human Resource Pool,will be invaluable to the Tourism Sector,in particular,and the nation at large.. Very well thought out initiative..Thank you and well done..
