| | | Gambia: As I See It - Women Sexual Exploitation & Politics | | Posted Saturday, November 11, 2006 6:57:14 AM by Blog57 Team | | Women voted for Jammeh largely for his appointment of Africa's first ceremonial woman vice President. He has also decorated his administration with good-looking big girls to at least calm short-skirt emancipation terrorists. Of all the opposition parties, only the PDOIS has an elegant weapon in the person of Amie Sillah. She should however remain in the wings for now as there are hungry political wolves around. It is still embarrassing that despite the number of women pen pushers at our disposal, our government is afraid of putting an end to barbaric traditions like female genital mutilation (commonly called female circumcision).
