		In his conclusion, President Jammeh further said that the past had its defects, but it is nonetheless a glorious one, and even as today is graced with a dynamic spirit, its challenges are many and daunting.

		After learning that a second draconian press law was secretly promulgated on 28 December, Reporters Without Borders today reiterated its appeal to the international community to put pressure on President Yahya Jammeh to stop his mounting crackdown on Gambia’s news media
		This law cancels all the licences that had previously been issued to the news media and forces them to re-register, while at the same time increasing the cost of a publishing licence five-fold, from 100,000 dalasis (2,600 euros) to 500,000 dalasis (13,000 euros).
		Reporters Without Borders voiced "outrage" today at the treatment reserved for the press in Gambia, where President Yahya Jammeh promulgated at least one press law on 28 December without the Gambia Press Union (GPU) - the journalists’ trade union - ever being able to get a copy.

		Jimmy Kandeh's recent analysis of rule by the 'militariat' in The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Liberia (ROAPE 69, 1996) makes a useful contribution to comparative analysis of this phenomenon in West Africa.
		However, it could be suggested that the similarities between his three cases are even stronger than he indicates: specifically that the rule of Yahya Jammeh and the AFPRC in The Gambia resembles that of Valentine Strasser and the NPRC, and that of Samuel Doe and the PRC more closely than Kandeh suggests.
		Whilst Kandeh's overall depiction of Jammeh could not be described as positive it is less negative than is warranted by developments in The Gambia since July 1994.
