KUNTAUR IMAM KILLED!!!

Bakary Saine, Banjul

The Imam of Kuntuar was stabbed 16 times before he met his untimely death last night, the Freedom Newspaper can reveal. The 30 year old Imam Amadou Jallow was accosted by his killers while he was preparing to go lead the morning prayers, according to informed sources. His death comes on the heels of Imam-ship dispute amongst the villagers of Kuntaur. It was gathered that there were some parties who opposed Jallow Imam-ship. There is no evidence so far linking his murder to the said dispute, but village sources said Jallow’s murder was a well coordinated one. The villagers suspect that Jallow was murdered by his enemies who they say had never concealed their opposition against his appointment as Imam.

WAA JUWARA DISOWNED!!!

AS NDAM EXTERNAL WING RESIGN FROM PARTY!!

Press Release!!

On May 30, 2008, we the external wing of the National Democratic Action Movement (NDAM) tendered our collective resignation from NDAM to the Secretary General, Lamin Waa Juwara. This was a difficult decision on our side, given the principles upon which we cultivated our comradeship and the potential that constantly struggled to rise above the constraints of the lack of resources to contend with the “status quo” at the genuine service of the people of Gambia. We are under no illusions about the urgent need to change the wretched conditions of Gambia’s existence.
