    In 2007, the Gambian President - Yahya Jammeh - falsely claimed he had found a cure for AIDS. Ousman Sowe was one of thousands of people recruited into a bogus treatment programme.pic.twitter.com/8TjrsbJk8T

        This is the pain dictators bring to people they force everyone to obey them and no one is allowed to say no to them. It is for many of these same reasons we in #Swaziland want true democracy.

        Had to know who to trust or believe this days. Whether intentionally or unintentionally misinforming or outright lying to your subjects is in itself worthy of TREASON folks. That's a crime against the state.

        So many people have found cures for HIV/AIDS but the big Pharmas keep them gagged coz they are doing business. BBC stop your hypocrisy! AIDS has a cure, stop doing business with our lives.
