Overwinningsretoriek
Vandaag in The Observer, de regeringskrant, president Jammeh op z'n best.
Plaats van handeling: Kanilai, z'n geboortedorp.
Gelegenheid: de gewonnen verkiezingen. Verder commentaar overbodig:
"I want to thank all Gambians for the victory given to me, both in the Presidential and National Assembly polls and for showing the opposition a red card. The National Assembly election has put a definitive end to them which is a 40-day charity for the opposition."
Daarna zegt ie dat degene die de oppositie niet meer willen volgen na 40 dagen van zijn partij lid kunnen worden. (Die 40 daagse periode is namelijk de officiele rouwperiode volgens de Islamitische traditie.) En hij vervolgt:
"Since it is a tradition after 40 days that we pray for the departed soul, therefore we pray that the great evil grant the opposition eternal sufferings to hell."
