Jammeh will be laughing loud about that. This is part of Jammeh showing off his illicit wealth from drugs, weapons, and money laundering.
Gambians will see more of such. |

She must have been quite strong, a carton of biscuits thrown from a moving vehicle would cause most people a much more severe injury than just to faint ! |

Quite right toubab. In 2010 on my way from turntable to Manjai in a taxi ,the taxi suddenly swerved off the road before Senegambia and a whole load of blacked out 4x4s raced by at a very fast speed. I was standing at the roadside when several packets were thrown from one of the cars. People around scrambled for them and they turned out to be packets of biscuits! If one of these had hit anyone they would have been bruised at the very least. I'm sure that it has been previously reported that a young girl died after being hit by biscuits thrown from the President's entourage. A somewhat dangerous and pathetic practice. |

At that speed, the impact is liken to a flying bullet. Jammeh has no respect for life of anyone apart from his immediate household. This is total abuse. |
