Gambians are horror-struck by the death sentence passed on former head of the country’s military, Lang Tombong Tamba and seven other men, on Thursday.
The eight men were accused of attempting to overthrow the government of President Yahya Jammeh.
‘Very sad,’ ‘unfortunate,’ ‘outraged’… seem to be the favorable words for the few who summon enough courage to mention the issue at all from within Gambia.
“This is a very sad day for the country … these people are killers…” stated a source who wouldn’t want to be named, via facebook.
“There was no truth in this co-called treason trial,” said another one via the same medium. “Gambians just don’t talk about it because of the obvious reason of fear.”
But certainly there is one man who dared said it openly.
