The family of the Gambia’s recently dismissed Attorney General and Justice Minister is crying foul, raising concerns about Lamin Jobarteh’s whereabouts and conditions of detention.
Mr. Jobarteh had been in state custody since his removal from office without explanations some weeks back. His arrest is believed to be in relation with his dropping of high-profile criminal cases in exchange of money. Others alleged that Jobarteh’s arrest was prompted by the escape into exile of the dismissed Director General of the National Drugs Enforcement Agency. Benedict Jammeh jumped bail after he had sensed that his life was in danger.

Alcohol is probably the most ancient and widespread psychoactive substance in the world. It is a naturally occurring substance wherever free-floating carbohydrates are available and thus is widely known and used. Clearly, there are alcohol uses related to health, nutrition, entertainment, religion, and a variety of other social activities. Alcohol has for centuries played a prominent role in the social and religious life of African societies south of the Sahara. As early as the eleventh century A.D., Al-Bakri (The Andalusian Muslim geographer and historian) described offerings of alcoholic drinks in royal funeral rites in the kingdom of Ghana.

Against medical advice; we who still have brain cells to think, (as opposed to the willfully ignorant) know it’s a waste of time to subject Yaya Jammeh to psychiatric evaluation. We have long ago diagnosed Jammeh as psychopathic.
The real contention has been the appropriate medication to administer to relief Gambia of this diseased condition. “Diplomatic medication” is the wrong prescription. Diplomacy has its place, but not from a position of weakness. Those who know what POWER is have a different definition of diplomacy and its application. We, on the POWERLESS side, use powerless language and engage in powerless action.
