Editor,

We have celebrated another July 22nd; a wonderful and joyous celebration it was indeed. Fourteen years ago, five patriotic Gambian army officers, led by no other than Yahya AJJ Jammeh, took over the mantle of leadership -  not for selfish or material gains but for want of change.  

A change fitting for the new generation. This is what Jammeh stands for and is what he has achieved and will continue to achieve throughout his leadership.

However, for Vision 2020 to be realised the burden does not only have to be on the president.  Let our objective be the devlopment of our country, our whole country and nothing but our country.  And by the blessing of God.  May this country itself become a vast and splendid monument not of oppression and terror but of wisdom, of peace and of liberty, upon which the world will gaze with admiration forever.
