GAMBIA: OUSMAN SONKO MUST BE ON 'DISAPPEARANCES WITHOUT TRACE' LIST. I PRAY.

It's surprising that Yaya Jammeh would remove one of his longest serving ministers at a time that the country's political stability is fluid.

Monitored today on state broadcasting National Radio and Television Services, Sonko is said to be removed effective September 17, 2016

Ousman Sonko had not only been Yaya's longest interior minister, he'd been a loyal, brutal henchman who had been named in:

*the murder of Almamo Manneh in 2000;

*killing of Deyda Hydara;

*attempted assassination on lawyer Ousman Sillah;

*the 2006 slaughtering of 40 West African Migrants caught in Gambian waters;

*2006 accused coupists Daba Marena, Ebou Lowe, Alieu Ceesay, Alfa Bah;

*2012 illegal execution of the mile II 9 prisoners;

*a hand in the coordination, overseeing, execution of Solo Sandeng's torture to death, and the gruesome torture of Fatoumatta Jawara, Nogoi Njie and Fatou Camara.

I hope he gets arrested, disappeared and fed to the crocodiles, if they're hungry.

And I'm waiting for someone to tell me 'He's a victim'.

****** end *****
