Chief of Defense Staff Badgie |
The military moved in quickly, following our blog post on the subject to move the guests to "The Recevoir" by the Chief of Defense Staff in a building that serves as reception area (thus the French name), Now the Senegalese have been lodged next to the presidential palace to be closely guarded and protected from the preying eyes of the opposition who will be very vigilant, especially on election day and by polling agents, in ensuring that non-citizens are prevented from voting in the elections. The international media is also being encouraged to be on the lookout for these category of voters.
The Director General of the notorious National Intelligence Agency (NIA) is also reported to have upped the ante as the elections draw close to December 1st, increasing the level of intimidation of supporters of the opposition by targeting specific and influential supporters. Our sources indication all forms of intimidating tactic will increase in intensity as Jammeh continues to freak out as he sees his support continues to nosedive. There is panic mode in Kanilai.
