giving the new world order

Stopping the truth is like trying to prevent the world from turning:

Speaking during a gathering of foreign diplomats last month in Banjul, The Gambia, the 42-year-old Jammeh had startled his guests by declaring that he cures not just Hiv/Aids but also asthma.

What was even more astonishing was his assertion that the whole cure would be complete in three days flat and that persons infected if examined, would be found negative.

It was not the first time that a cure has been claimed by some herbalists, homopathic medical practitioners and the likes in Africa since the Hiv/Aids pandemic broke out in the later part of the 20th century without an apparent cure. Most of these claims have been found as, at best, exaggerated.

But coming from chief of a state like President Jammeh, the cure claim has become of more than incidental interest to the global community.
