Gambia’s Information minister has said that the government will never allow religious extremists to come and sow seeds of divisions among the population through their propagations.
Addressing journalists at the end of a one-day religious reporting seminar organised by the Amadiya Muslim Jamaat, Minister Demba Jawo said that is the reason why work of journalists has become crucial in promoting inter-cultural dialogue.
