- From what I hear, yes complaining about the government on
Facebook or Twitter would easily qualify. To give you an
idea, Guinea where the government soldiers rounded up

a stadium for mass beatings, public rapes, and killings,
is ranked better in human rights than Gambia.

In other news, social media monitoring of the recent election
in Togo can be found at (helps if you know French):
