I offer my condolences to the family of the April 10 and 11 student massacre in the Gambia. The truth is yet to come out as to who authorised the brutal killings. We as citizens of the Gambia held the government of Yahya Jammeh responsible for authorising the trigger happy soldiers and paramilitary to shoot at the student demonstrators. In decent democracies, student protest is part of the civic rights. Why should the Gambia be any different? yet we call ourselve a Democratic country. I would refer to our democracy as a selective democracy, selective because the government wish to be seen in the international community as a protector of human rights and good governance. But that is not the case as far the Gambia is concerned.
speaking to some friends yesterday. The rumours that our head of state is bananas is rife, whatever his mental state ,we are sick and tied of his brutal system of locking up,killing and unnecessary arrest of Gambians. Who is Yahya to be violating the freedom of Gambians repeatedly without any remorse? The situation is a worry for every decent and peace loving Gambian. At the final analysis ,Yahya will loose, his tyranny shall end, he will not only leave an ugly legacy but also a hammering of the painful sort from his maker, We too shall request for his punishment in a Gambian court. May the Almighty forgive the souls of the diseased students and grant them Jannah. Amen.
