        . Bad and greedy loser. Look at someone who came to power through the barrel of a gun. Shame on him. He thinks he's a monarch.

        No nobody is irresistible to the power change when it is meant to occur. I believe Change will change Mr. Jammeh no matter what.!

        sadly African leaders don't understand the meaning of democracy and elections. Gambia should be prepared for great achievements.
