The Gambian military is undergoing serious evolution these days. Jammeh is confused as who is loyal and who is not. Since the so called faked coup attempt, men of the army had been subjected to routine transfers, arrest, detention and in some occasions alleged execution. The fate of former NIA Chief and four other security detainees remain mysterious. This government is not keen at discussing the whereabouts of these feared dead detainees. Our Wednesday’s lead story on the death of soldier Ebrima Camara, speaks volume about the type of administration we have in Banjul. Camara we are told was murdered, following his refusal to be part of Yahya’s hit and kill style.

Mr. Editor,
DA Jawo just reminded me, when Sheriff Bojang wrote his famous piece "The rebel...", I was in my studies in UK. That was typical of Mathew. I have known Mathew for a while, and it is obvious that he cannot make permanent friends. The same that happened to him when he was to be promoted to a regional director, he was busy being a tribalist. People know he can write, but writing must be accompanied with common sense. I wonder if staff writer Omar Njie will further question him about his intoxicated nature all the time. No wonder, he must have been drunk when he was uttering such irresponsible statements. I worked with him a year and half. The guy just don't have a headway. He is full of contradictions.

While mystery continues to surround the death of former NIA chief Daba Marenah and four other security detainees, another soldier posted at President Jammeh’s home village Kanilai died under mysterious circumstances recently, the Freedom Newspaper, can authoritatively report. Soldier Ebrima Camara of the State Guards recently died at the RVTH amidst reports that he was killed following his refusal to take part in the torture of Daba Marenah and others. While the government is yet to confirm or deny the said revelations, reports also have it that Camara confided with his family prior to his death to narrate how he and other men of the army were assigned to take part in the alleged execution of Daba Marenah and others.
