We must all try to keep national and social cohesion and not be unnecessary hostile to each other just because of an election. There are so many good things we share in common that cannot be sacrificed just because we differ in political views or affiliation,\u201d Mr Sowe said. \u2018Security is everyone\u2019s business and not just us who work in it. And so we will meet, discuss, consult and interact with the people,\u201d DG Sowe said. The trip will be followed by a press conference on Friday at which the delegation will speak on the tour and related matters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
