        In Gambia with get rid of a tyrant- Yahya Jamus Jammeh- who terrorized us for 22 years. His replacement is a clueless dude who hasn’t an idea what’s going on! He’s busy lining his pockets & those of his cronies while the masses wallow in misery & poverty.

        The same thing is happening in Algeria since 20 years ago now. The president didn't talk to its own people since 6 years ago, and he want to stay at the throne for another five years again. What a shame! 😡😡😡

        This is a first! I doubt there is a country that will deny entry to its own citizen, especially if the claim he has troubles with the law. Is it not the opportunity to bring him to books?
