As if to argue that His Excellency, Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh (the Professor) is entitled to some leeway in governmental lawlessness, they interpose the physical symbols of development – coastal roads, GRTS, Airport, the University - to excuse the persistent human rights violations long a fixture on the Gambian public landscape. Ordinary Gambians travel this road, and so do non-Gambians who frequent the online community to irritate the advocates of public accountability under the rule of law. In the latter cases, we are dealing more with indifference to suffering rooted in ignorance on the one hand, and fantasy on the other. As irritating as this category of ostensible supporter, they are thankfully in no position to do actual harm to the Professor’s political critics.
