Repression of journalists continues unabated in the Gambia where any view contrary to the official line is met with jail time, or a sandy pit. If Jammeh has nothing to hide let the press investigate further. What about the Ghanians that were killed. There are too many mysteries that need an explanantion. Gambians do not discuss politics freely anymore. This has already begun to affect tourists' perception of the country as you cannot enjoy yourself if the locals live in fear.

Isn't it surprising that Jammeh whose coup benefited immensely from the favourable press coverage has turned on the media harshly. Moreover, One of the editors arrested was Jammeh's science teacher in high school. What an amazing turnaround.

Which "press" "favourably" covered Jammeh's coup d'etat?

A coup d'etat is an explicit violation of the will of the people, however theorized. So, the "press" was complicit?

Very well: welcome to reality---the one you helps you is in the most propitious position to hurt you.

The truth is that there is no "press" in INVADERLAND AFRICA: there are bootlicking printing houses.

Be real! What 'press'? A press when 95% of the population can't read its INVADERLAND 'national' languages?

Who consumes the product of the African "press"? The African people last, n'est pas? (Pathetic indeed: I write INVADER scripts, comfortable I am in INVADERLAND culture---far removed from the Africa that streams through my veins; Africa silent, silenced by centuries of INVADER barbarism. Africa can be appropriated only allegorically by me and you: Africa torn betwen diremption and unity.

Compared to these mind boggling issues, the "press" is a silly footnote.

What, by the way, is "the press"?
