In Defense of the Freedom Newspaper

          BY:Haruna.

As a Gambian, I wish to express my appreciation to the Freedom Newspaper for reporting the truth to me to the best of their ability. I understand that the Freedom Newspaper does not speak for me but I appreciate the valuable service they are attempting to provide to me and my fellow citizens amid an atmosphere of press intimidation, suppression of truth, wanton murder, and disregard for our common constitution in Gambia. Amid such dictatorship, the Freedom Newspaper represents one of many guiding lights for the restoration of Democracy and the rule of law in Gambia.

I therefore register, here and now, my high esteem for the Freedom Newspaper and its hardworking editorial staff. With limited resources and capacity, they have aimed to deliver the truth with due consideration to both sides. We would not need the Freedom Newspaper if we had the rule rule of law, regard to our common constitution and the attendant rights it assigns to the citizens of Gambia. If nothing else, I regard the Freedom Newspaper as innoculation against the garbage coming out of the Observer Newspaper. Haruna.

Haruna.
