What a tragedy for the death of a nation is a rare and somber event that all patriotic citizens should stand firm to fight with determination, honour and pride to avert such a misfortune rather than lament without pain. With Jammeh’s death sentence pronounced on The Gambia, our country is fast moving to this sad situation.
The vision and the lofty ideal dream of a unified, independent democratic Gambian nation-state with the rule of law and administrative justice is threatened by a possible future casualty of a Jammeh planned civil war, a strategy to maintain himself in power against the wish and will of the Gambian masses and which is stoked by evil and its enabling ally those money minded quislings and traitors to the Gambian cause for freedom and justice.
Present day Gambian political chaos marks the beginning of the end of the autocratic criminal Jammeh dictatorship. Frankly speaking the outcome might not be an altogether unfortunate development for Gambians, given Jammeh-anti-Gambian programmes aimed at rendering his neocolonial oppressive and dictatorial government nothing more than a quisling regime to oversee its allies’ utter rejection of an independent, free and democratic Gambian state.
The on-going political events in The Gambia are taking place in a sad developing context. In the Muslim feast of Ramadan this year, 2010, Gambians were once again witness to the usual game of a desperate lie and childish tale chasing the truth in which a carefully well planned and monitored campaign of villipandizing and demonizing Koukoie Samba Sanyang was orchestrated and conducted by President Yaya A. A. Jammeh, accusing Koukoie Samba Sanyang of a terrorist and blood thirsty coup plotter in an effort to swing supporters, towards his political ambition aiming to remaining in power for 45 years against the wishes of the Gambian people like his protégé, Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara .
This is a desire for President Yaya Jammeh to punish Koukoie Samba Sanyang for the crime of refusing to join his criminal enterprise or be a share holder in a joint venture to wrongly harm, kill innocent Gambians, ruin and brutally rule The Gambia; is the results of the on-going and orchestrated campaign by President Yaya Jammeh against Koukoie to isolate him from the Gambian masses and for him to be seen by the international community as evil and anti-democratic. Koukoie’s refusal to be part of Jammeh’s death squad is the price he is paying now being labeled a terrorist and blood thirsty coup plotter.
With evil schemes, set-ups and with the complicity of money-minded criminals Jammeh has decided to step up political violence and state terrorism in The Gambia to intimidate everyone he sees as a potential political opponent to his regime, especially with the aim to eliminate Koukoie from the political map of The Gambia, destroying his revolutionary zeal, charisma and his determination to struggle for freedom, justice and democracy.
Dictator Jammeh and acolytes are making all desperate attempts to be sure that the noble Panafricanist Gambian patriots would not have a chance to democratically govern The Gambia and construct this beautiful nation-state with a hard working people contrary to his Hitler style brutish dictatorship.
In his evil, terrorist acts against innocent peace loving Gambian citizens, President Jammeh rejects all calls by peace-loving democratic Gambian patriotic concerned citizens for a political dialogue and negotiations to seek a long-term political stable solution and situation to allow for the establishment of a genuine democracy in The Gambia along the lines of international democratic standards that Jammeh and the enemies of the Gambian people have opposed, in disregard of our constitutional rights, wanting to virtually isolate his opponents.
Meanwhile, Jammeh is daily stepping up terrorist programmes of political witch-hunting to eliminate potential political opponents like Koukoie Samba Sanyang, illegal arrests and detentions of those he fears to be a danger to the survival of his evil brutal and bloody regime without trials and imprisonment of the shrinking Gambian respectful political leaders and military personnel in the name and pretext of a failed coup d’état always with the shameful backing of the sell-out press ,money minded Gambian criminals and kafir marabout on his pay roll , using the caged judicial system and a foreign will despite occasional minor complaints, accompanied by the wink of an eye and munificent funding.
Since President Yaya Jammeh is haunted by his own evil deeds and failures to rightly and democratically govern the Gambia the only option for him is to devise ways and means to eliminate all those he considers potential dangers to his political survival, and this is the case with innocent Lieutenant General Lang Tombong Tamba and colleagues who fell in Jammeh’s evil trap. I would wish President Yaya Jammeh to know that only death can granted him "a peaceful end that he denied and wish to deny to so many other Gambians.
Let us ask ourselves this question, where are all those patriotic Gambian soldiers who brought Jammeh to power and where are all those intellectuals who supported his so-called 22nd July revolution? What has happened to them all? The answers are well known to all Gambians. If President Yaya Jammeh was and is a revolutionary all those patriotic Gambians who came to his rescue would have not abandoned him or he would have not eliminated some as he did.
Anyhow it is no surprise to me Koukoie Samba Sanyang and I believe that all Gambians are also not surprised that I am associated with this well patched up setting of an imaginary coup plot by Jammeh and acolytes with the aim to spell his daily fears of losing power.
In my honour and dignity and in the name of the Almighty Allah who created me I can assure all Gambians that I never discuss with General Lang Tombong Tamba and colleagues to plan and stage a coup d’état, or never did I ask any marabout to perform prayers or do some magical work for me to overthrow President Yaya Jammeh.
I am not President Yaya Jammeh who relies on vain hopes for vain hopes are assets of fools and idiots. Only people like President Malam Bekkai Sanha of Guinea-Bissau an intellectual suppose to be a direct product of our Panafricanist revolutionary leader, Dr. Amilcar Cabral, can be fooled and misled by Yaya Jammeh. Four days before the second run off in Guinea-Bissau Presidential elections Malam Bekkai Sanha was invited to Kanilai by President Yaya Jammeh who took him to the Kanilai cotton tree believed to be the house of Jinns he claims are his supporters and protectors. He performed rituals on the tree by sacrificing hens and sheep to the Jinns what a big contradiction he who claims to be a good practical Muslim knowing fully well that Islam forbids worshipping trees or Jinns.
We should note here that one interesting thing is the physiological effect on President Malam Bekkai Sanha who fell into the evil plan and trap of Jammeh to have him under his control and obtain a sure ally against President Wade.
As President Yaya Jammeh’s evil plan worked to dominate physiologically President Malam Bekkai Sanha like how he dominated the late President Joao Bernado Nino Vieira President Malam Bekkai Sanha returned to the same cotton tree to thank the Jinns only three days after the announcement of the results and that was his first trip out of his country after being elected by the Guinean people which everybody knew in advance he was sure to be the winner. Guineans voted for him and not the Jinns.
I believe and rely on my Allah the creator of the Heavens and earth and on the oppressed and exploited Gambian people to work together to overthrow this senseless dictator of Jammeh. I think that Marabouts who are trained to serve Allah, should abide by the teachings of Islam and work to please their creator Allah and they should be aware that on the day of reckoning (judgment day) their creator Allah will judge them not on their words but on their deeds.
Jammeh’s Justice is authoritative command
According to our noble constitution we understand that, justice is created by public, enforceable, authoritative rules, and injustice is whatever those rules forbid, regardless of their relation to morality. Justice is created, not merely described or approximated, by the command of an absolute sovereign power. President Jammeh should be thought to understand this reality.
President Jammeh’s Justice is trickery and it is seen as the interest of the strong: merely a name for whatever the powerful or brutish ruler has managed to impose on the people, to his or her own advantage. Justice in the Gambia is part of the slave-morality of the weak many, rooted in their resentment of the strong few, and intended to keep the noble man down.
With President Yaya Jammeh, The Gambia is a “rogue state," and is a threat to its own people, its neighbors and to the entire world, an "outlaw nation" led by a reincarnation of Hitler who must be contained by the people’s revolutionary order. The facts are very clear and unambiguous. President Yaya Jammeh wants his enemies to recognize that he is a crazy dictator and unpredictable, with extraordinary destructive force at his command, so he wants all Gambians to bend to his will in fear.
Two facts should be uppermost in the minds of Gambians and west Africans on the reign of terror that has engulfed the Gambia of which I call "Dirty Political War" waged by Jammeh’s criminal and murderous state security forces and their paramilitary associates since his coming to power. The first is that Gambia's "democra-tatorship," an amalgamation of democratic forms and totalitarian terror, which has managed to compile the worst human rights record in Africa in recent years; it is no small achievement when one considers the competition among African dictators. This Jammeh "democra-tatorship," authorized "maximal criminalization of the political and social opposition, to silence and paralyze them. Frankly speaking to impose silence through violence is torture's real purpose, in the most profound and fundamental sense." For a neocolonial oppressive bloody regime like ours to impose silence on the internal enemy is necessary in their "democra-tatorships”
With intelligence and using our long experience let us make a careful cross examination of the whole indictment, witness statement and false pretence presented to the court prosecuting Lieutenant General Lang Tombong Tamba and colleagues by Jammeh handpicked lawyers and witness.
The indictment. (Set-ups and an evil trap to eliminate potential enemies) I call it trumped-up charges aimed at viciously and scurrilously attacking Koukoie Samba Sanyang.
The Prosecution team (Hired mercenaries and criminals who are ready to base themselves before money spitting on their own honour and dignity)
The composition of the court (Nothing but a Kangaroo court)
Evidence presented (Based on I hear say or I think which are all baseless lies)
The witness (Teleguided and forced testimony compelling the witness to lie and distort facts and in this way one day it shall be used the popular justice as evidence in a subsequent prosecution against the witness for an offence of false testimony under solemn declaration.)
A true story or a conspiracy (It is a real shameful Conspiracy unjustly dragging our valiant soldiers to those Kangaroo Courts set up by Jammeh)
Defense (Unfortunately powerless by heroically without fear denied all of the charges as lies and rumors)
Koukoie Samba Sanyang is he part of the conspiracy to overthrow President Yaya Jammeh in a coup d’état or not?
(a)This sad incident took place when I Koukoie Samba Sanyang was not in Africa, and for sure everybody knows that due to the hostility of the Guinea-Bissau government towards me and its complicity with President Jammeh to eliminate me for financial rewards from President Yaya Jammeh from the Gambian tax payers money I cannot imagine how foolish I would be to go to Bissau to consult a marabout cheaply putting my head under the guillotine?) (B) I have lost contacts with Lieutenant General Lang Tombong Tamba since my first visit to the Gambia on Jammeh’s invitation that was organized by the same Lieutenant General Lang Tombong Tamba,( a cousin to me) former NIA Director Abdulai Kujabi and Baba Saho. © If I am ready at any time to overthrow President Yaya Jammeh which one day I will do I do not need Jammeh’s own army to overthrow their boss or the Jammeh NIA to gather information on President Yaya Jammeh. All what I would need to know about President Yaya Jammeh is freely available and disposed in Albert market for no price. Information is freely available like second hand clothing.
I Koukoie Samba Sanyang do not need a marabout to perform miracles for me to overthrow President Yaya Jammeh. I have the total support of the popular Gambian masses who have confidence in me to liberate our sinking country. Marabouts I leave them to President Yaya Jammeh who substitute them for Allah the Almighty. I am a well trained and cultured revolutionary leader and freedom fighter.
What a comic and ridiculous story for I Koukoie Samba Sanyang to pay a million euro to a marabout. For what and on what grounds and proof. To hell with all these fabricated lies. (a) I would rather use a million Euros to build schools for that army of uneducated youths future leaders of the Gambia who are aimlessly roaming the streets of our cities and towns begging. (b) I would rather invest on the women workforce daily toiling in hard conditions in search of what to feed, clothe and educate their children and families.(c) I would rather spend those Euros to care for the sick the disable and handicapped.
All my concern is for the welfare of my Gambian fellow citizens and not my personal egoist satisfaction, greed, self-aggrandizement and lust for power.
In pleasing President Jammeh in return for money those criminal marabouts and bootlickers should be very well aware that they are serving the devil. Knowing fully well what the Holy Qur’an permits and forbids they should be teaching people rules and regulations to combat evil rather than serve it.
For all those paid by President Yaya Jammeh to stand as witness and testify to something that never existed and happened I pity them on judgment day and only Allah knows what punishment will be given to them as they are the real incarnation of the devil on earth. Jammeh’s money is ill-gotten money and it is only useful for evil deeds.
If President Yaya Jammeh wants to crucify his own comrades in arms for reasons better and best known to him alone he should distance me Koukoie Samba Sanyang from his evil maneuvers and tricks to deceive Gambians. Gambians have had enough of it and no one can deceive them anymore.
President Jammeh a well-known criminal narco-trafficker, a partner to one of the most notorious Guinea-Bissau narco-trafficker General Bubu Jose Americo Nachueta, Marines Chief of Staff wants to detract people’s attention on the activities of his drug dealings by arresting the director of the Gambian anti-drugs unite and colleagues. What a big shame putting "the Gambian nation at risk of a social catastrophe.
One thing must be understood and a clear fact should be well known and understood by all Gambians and the world at large that I am not ashamed to be a revolutionary freedom fighter fighting for freedom, justice, democracy and the rule of law and frankly speaking I do not and will never regret having led the peoples revolution on the 31st of July 1981 making the great dream of all Gambians a reality.
I want everyone to know and acknowledge that all what are going on in the Gambia is the usual sad story of human rights violation and legal rights with impunity by Jammeh and his henchmen.
In order to upheld and defend Justice in the Gambia it is really impossible for President Yaya Jammeh has hijacked the constitution and very sadly all honorable lawyers who are suppose to defend it have to practice their profession under very difficult conditions since the judicial system is handcuffed; with a number of overwhelming irregularities been committed against an accused man, and a shameless act of aggressing the limits of the witness ‘rights by Jammeh and the NIA. Witness’ are forced to say what the President thinks and wants them to say not what they know in order to facilitate his evil plans to send people to the guillotine.
In most cases, counsels and defendants in the Gambia are one and the same. As attorney he/she is not even able to take time and look at the indictment. As an accused, who for months or years (he/she) is been locked away in solitary confinement, held totally and absolutely incommunicado, in violation of every human and legal right and is considered an animal waiting to be taken to the slaughter house.
Once again, with the cause of justice on our side, we of the African Democratic Congress under the able leadership of comrade Koukoie Samba Sanyang would wage the terrible battle of truth against infamy! Surely we know that Jammeh’s evil regime is not prepared for the moral catastrophe in store for it!
We Panafricanist Gambian revolutionaries strongly believe that for real power to be vested in the Gambian people to establish a genuine democracy, uphold the rule of law and an administrative justice will demand the patriotic revolutionary uncompromising struggle for freedom and justice whereby worthy sons and daughters of the Gambia will behave in a standard operating procedure for overthrowing an unwanted criminal government. All Gambians will arise like one great giant with arms in a people’s revolution to win by force what we have lost at the murder of democracy, rule of law and human rights by Jammeh’s brutal and murderous regime.
Enemies of the Gambia and very surprisingly the silent complicity of the western world are also key factors that encourages President Yaya Jammeh to amass power in his hands and commit crimes against humanity with impunity, which is seen as an appropriate behaviour in the eyes of the so-called civilized and democratic world which is a sign that they are advocates of presidential dictatorship in Africa.
This strategy of wanting to maintain Jammeh in power at all cost against the will of the Gambian people will backfire inevitably very soon. Despite the financial and military aid to Jammeh’s autocratic oppressive regime, Jammeh forces will be defeated as Jammeh’s mass arrests of military officers in a vicious conflict to intimidate everybody, as a pre-emptive strike targeting primarily the Panafricanist Gambian revolutionaries.
Jammeh and his allies within the sub-region wants to quickly moved to turn the outcome to their benefit which we all know is a necessity self-defense for their survival, but they will crumble down one by one for the masses will rise to regain their lost rights, dignity and honour. For their survival they now have and seen nothing short as a pretext for tightening the stranglehold on the people of the Gambia.
To persist with such an evil divisive approach under present circumstances is indeed genocidal, and risks destroying an entire Gambian population that is an integral part of the civilized democratic world despite Jammeh’s brutality and aim to destroy peace, freedom, justice and democracy in the Gambia.
This worst-case scenario may unfold unless Jammeh meets the people’s conditions and demands for freedom and justice. For Gambians to be permitted to peek out of the walls of the Gambian dungeon, all Gambian patriots must clearly demonstrate in a unified revolutionary front that we are not ready to recognize dictator Jammeh, accept Jammeh’s state terrorism and violence and accept his idea of remaining in power as long as he likes and continue to cause havoc and destruction in the Gambia.
The hypocrisy is stunning both on Jammeh’s side and the international community. Obviously, Jammeh and the enemies of the Gambia do not recognize Gambians rights for freedom, justice, democracy and national development and for that reason Jammeh is and will never renounce violence and state terrorism unless Gambians surrender and accept servitude.
This is an unacceptable condition and the facts will one day break into a mainstream with Koukoie’s logic and plans. ‘The Gambia’: Freedom-Justice and Peace not evil dictatorship or a new form of Jammeh Apartheid system,’ which today is eliciting a torrent of abuse and desperate efforts to discredit Gambians must end.
While today Jammeh is enjoying unlimited hypocrite support and backing of reactionary leaders within the sub-region now he believes he is in a position to crush Gambian freedom fighters, and that he can also proceed without fear of being sanctioned by the international community, to implement his evil plans expecting to have the tacit cooperation of criminal secret agents sell-outs in within the Senegalese and Guinea-Bissau governments who are on his pay roll and who will be handsomely rewarded for their betrayal to their respective governments.
The Gambian nation's future, the solutions to its problems, cannot continue to depend on the selfish interests of a dozen big businessmen and evil marabouts who support Jammeh in his criminal activities nor on the cold calculations of profits that ten or twelve magnates draw up in their air-conditioned offices.
The country cannot continue begging on its knees for miracles from a few golden calves, like the Biblical one destroyed by the prophet's fury. Golden calves cannot perform miracles of any kind. The problems of the Gambian Republic can be solved only if we dedicate ourselves to fight for freedom and justice with great energy, honesty, heroism and patriotism.
Statesmen like those quislings and traitors who compromise with their own principles, whose statesmanship consists of preserving the status quo and mouthing phrases like 'absolute freedom of enterprise,' 'guarantees to investment capital' and 'law of supply and demand,' will not solve these problems.
Those ministers who shamelessly chat away in luxurious mansion until not even the dust of the bones of those whose problems require immediate solution remains. In this present-day world, social problems are not solved by spontaneous generation.
What we need to redeem Gambians and reconstruct our broken down country is an ADC revolutionary democratic government that will be backed by the people and with the respect of the nation, after cleansing the different institutions of all venal and corrupt officials, and proceed immediately to the country's industrialization, mobilizing all inactive capital, currently estimated at about 3.5 billion Dalasis, through the National Bank and the Agricultural and Industrial Development Bank, and will submit this mammoth task to experts and men of absolute competence who will totally removed from all political machines for study, direction, planning and realization.
To those who would call me a dreamer, an adventurer and a confused revolutionary I would want them to learn from these noble inspiring words that : 'A true man does not seek the path where advantage lies, but rather the path where duty lies, and this is the only practical man, whose dream of today will be the law of tomorrow, because he who has looked back on the essential course of history and has seen flaming and bleeding peoples seethe in the cauldron of the ages knows that, without a single exception, the future lies on the side of duty.'
Criminal Jammeh and all those unpatriotic Gambian politicians spends millions of Dalasis buying off consciences, whereas a handful of Gambians who wanted to save their country's honor had to face death barehanded for lack of funds. This shows how the country, to this very day, has been governed not by generous and dedicated men, but by political racketeers, criminal speculators, and the scum of our public life.
With the greatest pride I tell you that in accordance with our revolutionary Panafricanist principles we have never asked a politician, a businessman past or present, for a penny. Our means were assembled with incomparable sacrifice.
One must have great faith in one's country to do such a thing. The memory of these acts of idealism bring me straight to the most bitter chapter of this revolutionary struggle in defense of our people- the price the tyranny made us pay for wanting to free the Gambia from oppression and injustice is great and we are very proud of what we are and want to achieve.
In rejecting all accusations and false fabricated lies to destroy me I need clearness of mind and peace in my heavy heart in order to relate the facts as simply as possible, in no sense dramatizing them, but just as they took place.
As a responsible dedicated Gambian freedom fighter I am ashamed that heartless Jammeh and his henchmen should have perpetrated such unthinkable crimes, dishonoring our nation before the rest of the world.
Tyrant Jammeh was and is never a man of scruples. He has never hesitated and will never hesitate to tell his people the most outrageous dirty lies. To justify his treacherous coup against the Gambian people, he always concoct shameful stories about a fictitious uprising in the Army, a failed planned coup by Koukoie Samba Sanyang supposedly scheduled to take place at an un-named date, and which he 'wanted to avert so that the Republic might not be drenched in blood.' A ridiculous little tale nobody ever believed! And when he himself wants to drench the Republic in blood, when he wants to smother in terror and torture the just rebellion of Gambian freedom fighters, who are not willing to be his slaves, then he contrives still more fantastic lies. How little respect one must have for a people when one tries to deceive them so miserably!
Whenever a President like Jammeh, a Chief of State, or anyone pretending to be one, makes declarations to the nation, he speaks not just to hear the sound of his own voice. He always has some specific purpose and expects some specific reaction, or has a given intention.
Since according to Jammeh Koukoie is an outlawed person, a coup plotter and insofar he no longer represented any actual threat to him the dictator, why did he slander me and all those freedom fighters like that? I think and believe that it is still not clear to all Gambians that this Jammeh’s action was a blood-drenched speech, that it was simply an attempt to justify the crimes that he and his henchmen have been perpetrating.
What a great sense of honor those modest Army officials and professionals, who did not and are not ready to distort the facts before the people and Court, but gave their reports adhering to the strictest truth! These surely are soldiers who honor their uniform; these, surely, are men! Neither a real soldier nor a true man can degrade his code of honor with lies and crime. I know that many of the soldiers are indignant at the barbaric assassinations perpetrated by Jammeh and his trigger happy murders the NIA, agents of death and destruction.
I know that Lieutenant General Lang Tombong Tamba and his comrades in uniform feel repugnance and shame at the smell of homicidal blood that impregnates every stone of Kanilai, Bakau and Yundum military barracks.
Now that President Yaya Jammeh commander-in chief of the Gambian armed forces has been contradicted by men of honor within his own Army, I defy the dictator to repeat his vile slander against me. I defy him to try to justify before the Gambian people and the international community his speech to the nation villipandizing Koukoie Samba Sanyang.
Let him not remain silent after wrongly accusing his own innocent soldiers who brought him to power and maintained him in power at all cost against the popular wishes of Gambians.
Let him speak if he is a true Muslim believer who fears Allah and let him say the absolute truth who the assassins are, who the ruthless are, who the inhumane are. Let President Jammeh tell Gambians if the medals of honor, which he went to pin on the breasts of his evil heroes who committed all those numerous massacre like the killing of valiant soldiers who dare raise a finger to protest at those criminal acts and are witness, the killing of journalist Deyda Haidara, the killing of Dauda Nyassi and comrades, the killing of Daba Marana and his colleagues ,the shameful killings of innocent Ghanaian citizens were rewards for the hideous crimes they had committed.
What a shame for our national army and the NIA under president Yaya Jammeh who cold-bloodedly murdered Yaya Drammeh who was captured during the Farafenni attack because according to the Geneva Convention it is a crime to murder a prisoner.
Let him, from this very moment, assume his responsibility before history and let him stop poisoning those potential witnesses like what he did to Musa Jammeh, Tumbulung Tamba and many others. Let him not pretend, at a later date that the soldiers were acting without direct orders from him! Let him offer the nation a clear and frank explanation for those senseless murders. The bloodshed was great. The nation needs an explanation. The nation seeks it. The nation demands it.
In Kanilai his home town, in the NIA headquarters and in Bakau and Yundum military barracks here all forms of ferocious outrages and cruelty are deliberately overdone. Our brothers were and are daily killed not in the course of a minute, an hour or a day. Throughout entire weeks, months and years the blows and tortures continued, men were thrown into barrels of acid, and to his lion to be eaten alive and some were thrown into a common grave alive and then shot at close range. All methods of extermination were incessantly practiced by well-skilled artisans of crime in his Kanilai farm, some victims abandoned in old wells and in the NIA dungeons (torture chambers).
Jammeh’s Kanilai firm, the NIA torture chambers, Bakau and Yundum military Barracks are no more a respectful place for our soldiers and security personnel but are turned into a workshop of torture and death. Some shameful individuals turned their uniforms into butcher's aprons. Cowards as they are they shamelessly wash the wall that were splattered with blood and stands a ghost witness that will never talk to testify.
The bullets that imbedded in the walls were encrusted with singed bits of skin, brains and human hair, the grisly reminders of rifle shots fired full in the face. The grass around where his ferocious animals live in his farm at Kanilai is dark and sticky with human blood.
The criminal hands that are guiding the destiny of the Gambia have written in the prisoners’ minds please ‘Forsake all hope.'
But never has such a sad and bloody page been written in numbers of victims and in the viciousness of the victimizers, as in Kanilai. Only one man President Yaya Jammeh in all these past years has stained with blood two separate periods (the era of the military junta and now the so-called democratic era under his brutish rule) of our history and has dug his claws into the flesh of two lost generations of Gambians.
To release this river of blood, he is waiting for the fiftieth anniversary of the Republic, whose people fought for freedom, human rights and happiness at the cost of so many lives and imprisonment. Even greater is his crime and even more condemnable because the man who perpetrated it had already, for sixteen long years, lorded over his people - this people who, by such deep-rooted sentiment and tradition, loves freedom and repudiates evil. This man Jammeh has furthermore never been sincere, loyal, honest or chivalrous for a single minute of his public life.
In every society there are men of base instincts. The sadists, brutes, conveyors of all the ancestral atavisms go about in the guise of human beings, but they are monsters, only more or less restrained by discipline and social habit. If they are offered a drink from a river of blood, they will not be satisfied until they drink the river dry. All Jammeh needs is his own evil order. At his hands the best and noblest Gambians perished: the most valiant, the most honest, and the most idealistic.
Tyrant Jammeh calls them coup plotters, terrorists, embezzlers and mercenaries. By Jammeh’s orders our patriotic freedom fighters are dying as heroes at the hands of men who collect a salary from the Republic and who, with the arms the Republic gave them to defend her, serve the interests of dictator Jammeh and a clique and murder her best citizens.
Just as I admire the courage of the soldiers who died bravely on the 31st of July 1981 defending their beloved country and those who die in the hands of dictator Jammeh, I also admire the officers who bore themselves with dignity and did not drench their hands in this blood.
For my dead comrades, I claim no vengeance. Since their lives were priceless, the murderers could not pay for them even with their own lives. It is not by blood that we may redeem the lives of those who died for their country. The happiness of their people is the only tribute worthy of them.
What is more, my comrades are neither dead nor forgotten; they live today, more than ever, and their murderers will view with dismay the victorious spirit of their ideas rise from their corpses. Let the Apostle speak for me: 'There is a limit to the tears we can shed at the graveside of the dead. Such limit is the infinite love for the homeland and its glory, a love that never and will never falters; neither loses hope nor grows dim. For the graves of the martyrs are the highest altars of our reverence.'
When freedom fighters die in the arms of a grateful country agony ends, prison chains break - and at last, with death, life begins!
My rejection of all false accusations against me and against all freedom fighters wrongly accused and my argument is meant simply to demonstrate what a false and erroneous position Jammeh and his self styled tailored Judicial Power has adopted in the present Gambian situation. I can say that to a certain extent, each Court under Jammeh’s dicta is nothing more than a cog in the wheel of the system, and therefore must move along the course determined by the vehicle, although this by no means justifies any individual acting against his principles. I know very well that the oligarchy bears most of the blame.
The oligarchy, without dignified protest, abjectly yielded to the dictates of the usurper and betrayed their country by renouncing the autonomy of the Judicial Power. Men who constitute noble exceptions have attempted to mend the system's mangled honor with their individual decisions. But the gestures of this minority have been of little consequence, drowned as they were by the obsequious and fawning majority. This fatalism, however, will not stop me from speaking the truth that supports my noble cause.
The appearance before all those Kangaroo Courts set up by President Yaya Jammeh is a pure farce in order to give a semblance of legality to arbitrary decisions, but as leader of the downtrodden and a freedom fighter I am determined to wrench apart with a firm hand the infamous veil that hides so much shamelessness.
I want President Yaya Jammeh to understand and remember that today he is judging falsely those wrongly accused men, but that he himself will be judged not once, but many times, as often as these days are submitted to scrutiny in the future. What I say here will be then repeated many times, not because it comes from Koukoie’s lips and pen, but because the problem of justice is eternal and the people have a deep sense of justice above and beyond the hairsplitting of jurisprudence.
The people wield simple but implacable logic, in conflict with all that is absurd and contradictory. Furthermore, if there is in this world a people that utterly abhors favoritism and inequality, it is the Gambian people. To them, justice is symbolized by a maiden with a scale and a sword in her hands. Should she cower before one group and furiously wield that sword against another group, then to the people of the Gambia the maiden of justice will seem nothing more than a prostitute brandishing a dagger. My logic is the simple logic of the people.
Since independence our dear country is a Republic. She has her beautifully written Constitution, its laws, its freedoms, a President, a house of Parliament and Courts of Law. Normally according to our constitution everyone could assemble, associate, speak and write with complete freedom but in reality this is not the case.
The Gambian people are not satisfied with their President His Excellency Yaya Jammeh and his corrupt and backward government officials, but they have an imaginary nonexistent power to elect new officials.
Public opinion is never respected and heeded and all problems of common interest are never freely discussed. True there are political parties, radio and television debates and forums and public meetings. The whole nation pulsates with enthusiasm at every general election. Frankly speaking our dear people have and continue to suffer greatly and although they are unhappy, our people longed to be happy and to have the right to be happy.
Our Gambian people have been deceived many times since independence by political fraudsters and they look upon the past with real horror. Our dear country innocently believed that such a past could not return; the people are proud of their love for freedom and they are carrying their heads high in the conviction that liberty would be respected as a sacred right one day.
The Gambian people strongly feel confident that no one would dare commit the crime of violating their democratic institutions anymore. The Gambian people want a change for the better, aspire to progress; and they see all this at hand. All their hope is in the future since their hopes and wishes were dashed away by the brutal Senegalese military intervention at the triumph of their popular revolution of the 31st of July 1981 and worsened by the coming to power of dictator Yaya Jammeh.
Oh, my dear poor country! Our griots will relate with sadness that one morning the citizens woke up dismayed; under the cover of night, while the people slept, the ghosts of the past (colonialism) had conspired and have seized the citizenry by its hands, its feet, and its neck. That grip, those claws were familiar: those jaws, those death-dealing scythes, those boots. No; it was no nightmare; it was a sad and terrible reality: a man named Yaya A.J.J.Jammeh had just perpetrated the appalling crime that no one had expected the 22nd July military coup d’état that later institutionalized a military dictatorship.
Humble citizens of The Gambia, who wished to believe in the laws of the Republic, in the integrity of their leaders, whom they have seen vent their fury against the underprivileged, never searched through a Social Defense Code to see what punishment society could have prescribed for the author of such a military coup, and what they can say is let us hang Koukoie:
'Today this same dictator Yaya Jammeh who came to power through a military coup d’état is saying loud and clear that whosoever shall perpetrate any deed destined through violent means (like what he did to gain and usurp power)
directly to change in whole or in part his Constitution of the State he tailored to fit only himself or the form of the established autocratic government he put in place shall incur a death sentence or a life imprisonment.
'A death sentence or life imprisonment will be imposed on the author of any act directed to promote an armed uprising against the Constitutional Powers of the State. This is why many worthy sons of the Gambia are shamefully dragged before Kangaroo courts set by President Yaya Jammeh to settle scores.
“Whosoever shall perpetrate an act with the specific purpose of preventing, in whole or in part, even temporarily, the APRC House of Representatives, Mr. President the dictator, or the Supreme Court from exercising their constitutional functions in the service of Jammeh will incur a death sentence or life imprisonment. Beloved Deyda Hydara, our intelligent brave journalist was killed on those grounds and Chief Manneh is still missing and his whereabouts not known to Gambians.
'Whosoever shall attempt to impede or tamper with the normal course of general elections, will incur a sentence of from five to eight years imprisonment. Many respectful opposition figures were arrested on these grounds like Khalifa Sallah, Omar Jallow and Kemesseng Jammeh.
'Whosoever shall introduce, publish, propagate or try to enforce in The Gambia progressive democratic instructions, orders or decrees that tend ... to promote the inobservances of the dictatorial laws in force, will incur a sentence of from four to six to eight years imprisonment. Brave Samuel Ose Sarr of Foroyaa, Single Nyassi and Waa Juwara today his ally were arrested on these grounds.
Any citizen who tries to bring cause against and wish punishment to those responsible for crimes against humanity and presents a statement or writ denouncing those heinous crimes and asking that Yaya Jammeh and his evil accomplices be sentenced to life in prison is a target for sacrifice on the altar of democracy. Koukioe is that sacrificial lamb to celebrate the death of democracy and rule of law.
Our beautifully crafted laws and based on our constitution our respectful judges are suppose to punish Jammeh the dictator and his the power-hungry men who are violating the Gambian law and turning our institutions to shreds. Unfortunately it is those worthy sons of The Gambia who are accused for attempting to overthrow this illegal rotten regime and to restore the legitimate Constitution of the Republic, who are arrested and accused of high treason.
In the first place and time our constitution was and is still unable to punish the guilty dictator and his criminal agents; now with orders from the same criminal President Yaya Jammeh the dictator himself our courts are compelled to punish the innocent. Here the maiden of justice is twice raped.
And in the corridors of state House there is so much talk to justify the unjustifiable, to explain the inexplicable and to reconcile the irreconcilable! The regime has reached the point of asserting that 'Might makes right' and it is the supreme law of the land. In other words, that using tanks and soldiers to take over the presidential palace, the national treasury, and the other government offices, and aiming guns at the heart of the people, entitles them to govern the people! The same argument the Nazis used when they occupied the countries of Europe and installed their puppet governments.
I am demanding in the name of Justice that the same Courts punishing innocent Gambian freedom fighters must now act decisively to punish state terrorists and shameless thieves.
I heartily believe revolution to be the source of legal right; but the nocturnal Jammeh-NIA assault on innocent defenseless Gambians could never be considered a revolution. In everyday language, it is common to give the name of revolution to small disorders promoted by a group of dissatisfied persons in order to grab, from those in power like the events of the 22nd July military coup d’état, both the political sinecures and the economic advantages. The usual result is no more than a change of evil hands, the dividing up of jobs, seizure of properties and benefits. This is not the criterion of a philosopher, as it cannot be that of a cultured man.
Leaving aside the problem of integral changes in the social system, not even on the surface of the public quagmire are we able to discern the slightest motion that could lessen the rampant putrefaction. The previous neocolonial Jawara regime was guilty of petty politics, theft, pillage, waste, laisser-faire and disrespect for human life; but the present criminal autocratic Jammeh regime has increased political skullduggery ten-fold, pillage fifty-fold, and a hundred-fold the lack of respect for human life and the rule of law.
Oh for Allah’s sake what is happening to our dear country? When did we Gambians become a nation which ignores and berates its citizens? When did we Gambians become docile and cowards to allow our government to risk undermining national, sub-regional and international order by adopting a terrorist, tribal, racial and a barbaric doctrinaire approach to using our military officers in a dirty political war? How can we abandon internal peace and stability, good neighborly relations, reason and diplomacy when the turmoil in Africa cries out for brotherhood, unity and diplomacy?”
Truly President Yaya Jammeh looks like a cowboy and terrorist
It is quite well known that Jammeh had plundered and murdered our nation-state, that he is a dirty millionaire that he owns in many foreign cities a good many apartment houses, countless stock in foreign companies, fabulous accounts in foreign banks. And with this type of criminal President no one would ever think of Yaya Jammeh as a revolutionary leader as he claims to be ready to defend the interest of the poor Gambian masses. Jammeh is that sergeant of Sir D.K.Jawara and will remain an ignorant brute sergeant who assassinated his comrades in-arms in a power struggle.
Lacking even the most elementary revolutionary content, Jammeh's autocratic regime represents in every respect a 100 year regression for The Gambia. Jammeh's regime has exacted a high price from all of us, but primarily from the humble classes which are suffering hunger and misery.
Meanwhile the dictatorship has laid waste the nation with commotion, ineptitude and anguish, and now engages in the most loathsome forms of ruthless politics, concocting formula after formula to perpetuate itself in power, even if over a stack of corpses and a sea of blood.
Jammeh's regime has not set in motion a single nationwide program of betterment for the people.
Jammeh delivered himself into the hands of the great financial interests, professional thieves and greed. Little else could be expected from a man of his mentality - utterly devoid as he is of ideals and of principles, and utterly lacking the faith, confidence and support of the masses. His regime merely brought with it a change of hands and a redistribution of the loot among a new group of friends, relatives, accomplices and parasitic hangers-on that constitute the political retinue of the Dictator. What great shame the people have been forced to endure so that a small group of egoists, altogether indifferent to the needs of their homeland, may find in public life an easy and comfortable Modus Vivendi.
The Gambian people have just contemplated with horror the case of the journalist chief Manneh who is kidnapped and is being subjected to torture everyday and nobody sees him or hear of him. Each new case brings forth evidence of unheard-of effrontery, of immense hypocrisy: the cowardice of those who shirk responsibility and invariably blame the enemies of the regime. Governmental tactics enviable only by the worst gangster mobs. Even the Nazi criminals were never so cowardly. Hitler assumed responsibility for the massacres of June 30, 1934, stating that for 24 hours he himself had been the German Supreme Court; the henchmen of that dictatorship which defies all comparison because of its baseness, maliciousness and cowardice, kidnap, torture, and murder and then loathsomely put the blame on the adversaries of the regime.
Is it or is it not legitimate to struggle against this Jammeh regime similar to that of Hitler? And must there be a high degree of corruption in the courts of law when these courts imprison citizens who try to rid the country of so much infamy?
The Gambia is suffering from a cruel and base despotism. You are well aware that resistance to despots is legitimate. So we have to fight without compromise and surrender to liberate our dear country.
The Gambian Constitution is understood to be the basic and supreme law of the nation, to define the country's political structure, regulate the functioning of its government agencies, and determine the limits of their activities. It must be stable, enduring and, to a certain extent, inflexible.
The Statutes fulfill none of these qualifications. To begin with, they harbor a monstrous, shameless, and brazen contradiction in regard to the most vital aspect of all: the integration of the Republican structure and the principle of national sovereignty.
In our constitution it stipulates that (1) The Gambia is a sovereign and independent State constituted as a democratic Republic.' (2) That: 'Sovereignty resides in the will of the people, and all powers derive from this source.' (3) That the President will be elected by the people.' So it is the people who choose the President. And who chooses the Cabinet? 'The President is authorized by the constitution to nominate and reappoint the members of the Cabinet and to replace them when occasion arises.' So, after all, where lays the source of people’s power?
Jammeh has ascribed to himself, through these Statutes, not only absolute control of the nation, but also the power of life and death over every citizen - control, in fact, over the very existence of the nation. Because of this, I maintain that the position of the Court of Social and Constitutional Rights is not only treacherous, vile, cowardly and repugnant, but also absurd.
I am for a constitutional principle that when a dictator like Yaya Jammeh governs rudely and despotically he should be deposed and replaced by a virtuous Gambian.
At the same time I uphold the principle of active resistance to arbitrary authority. As freedom fighters we have to justify our Panafricanist Gambian revolution and we should be ready to put our theories into practice. Our position is very clear for we say that 'an opinion held by the majority is stronger than the criminal himself. A rope woven of many strands is strong enough to hold a lion.'
Dear Gambians let us unite to defeat the artificial lion that is nothing but a brute tyrant.
Very true many Gambians rejects the doctrine of tyrannicide, and yet uphold the thesis that tyrants should be overthrown by the people when the tyrants government degenerates into a tyranny that violates the laws, its subjects are released from their obligations to obey.
I uphold the right of resistance when a government like Jammeh’s government becomes despotic because people are entitled to take up arms to oppose any usurpation.
When a President like dictator Jammeh usurps power, even as he was elected, and as he governs in a tyrannical manner it is licit for we private citizens to exercise tyrannicide, either directly or through subterfuge with the least possible disturbance.
It is understood that between the government and its subjects there is a bond or contract, and that the people may rise in rebellion against the tyranny of government when the latter violates that pact.
Conscious resistance to a dictatorial government like that of President Yaya Jammeh is legitimate when this brutal blood thirsty ruler oppress the people and that it is the duty of Honorable Judges to lead the struggle not condone with him.
As Jammeh’s government achieved power without taking into account the consent of the people, rules our destiny in an unjust and arbitrary fashion, then without fear or hypocrisy we can say that his government has become a tyranny and can be divested of power or, in a final recourse, its leaders can be put to death.
Jammeh should accept that sovereignty of the people is the supreme authority based on the Treatise on Politics and the State is born from the voluntary concourse of all its members; that governmental authority stems from the people and that its unjust, illegal or tyrannical function exempts them from the duty of obedience and justifies resistance or rebellion.
It is an internationally accepted fact and reality that political power must lie with the people, who can enthrone and dethrone Presidents and have the duty of overthrowing tyrants.
When the natural rights of men are violated, the people have the right and the duty to alter or abolish the government. 'The only remedy against unauthorized force is opposition to it by popular revolutionary force.'
'While a people sees itself forced to obey and obeys, it does well; but as soon as it can shake off the yoke and shakes it off, it does better, recovering its liberty through the use of the very right that has been taken away from it.' 'The strongest man is never strong enough to be master forever, unless he converts force into right and obedience into duty. Force is a physical power; I do not see what morality one may derive from its use.
To yield to force is an act of necessity, not of will; at the very least, it is an act of prudence. In what sense should this be called a duty?' 'To renounce freedom is to renounce one's status as a man, to renounce one's human rights, including one's duties. There is no possible compensation for renouncing everything. Total renunciation is incompatible with the nature of man and to take away all free will is to take away all morality of conduct. In short, it is vain and contradictory to stipulate on the one hand an absolute authority and on the other an unlimited obedience.
We can say that 'one just man deserves more respect than a rogue with a crown.'
The people's natural right to rebel has been opposed only by reactionaries like President Yaya Jammeh who says: 'The right to rebel is a censurable doctrine derived from Lucifer, the father of rebellions while he himself is Lucifer’s partner.'
(The drafters of the US Constitution put it more succinctly thus): “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness; That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
“When the government violates the rights of the people, insurrection is for them the most sacred of rights and the most imperative of duties.' 'When a dictatorial person seizes sovereignty from the people, he should be condemned to death by free men.”
I believe I have sufficiently justified my point of view. I have called forth more reasons than the Gambian people should be called forth to ask why condemned to prison valiant patriotic freedom fighters. All these reasons support men who struggle for the freedom and happiness of the people. None support those who oppress the people, revile them, and rob them heartlessly. Therefore I have been able to call forth many reasons and Jammeh could not adduce even one. How can Jammeh's presence in power be justified when he gained it against the will of the people and by violating the laws of the Republic through the use of treachery and force?
How could anyone call legitimate a regime of blood, oppression and ignominy? How could anyone call revolutionary a regime which has gathered the most backward men, methods and ideas of public life around it? How can anyone consider legally valid the high treason of a Court whose duty was to defend the Constitution?
With what right do the Courts send to prison citizens who have tried to redeem their country by giving their own blood, their own lives? All this is monstrous to the eyes of the nation and to the principles of true justice!
'The man who abides by unjust laws and permits any man to trample and mistreat the country in which he was born is not an honorable man ...
In the world there must be a certain degree of honor just as there must be a certain amount of light. When there are many men without honor, there are always others who bear in themselves the honor of many men. These are the men who rebel with great force against those who steal the people's freedom, rights, that is to say, against those who steal honor it. In those men thousands more are contained, an entire people is contained, human dignity is contained.
It is understandable that honest men should be dead or in prison in a Republic like the Gambia where the President is a criminal and a thief and murderer.
As I do not fear the fury of the miserable tyrant Jammeh who took the lives of my dear comrades it is very interesting as one discovers the unusual human being that the reflection of his own image does not let us see. Gambians don't Hope for Favors from a Worst tyrant like President Yaya Jammeh. The orchestrated pillage by President Yaya Jammeh, and its disastrous consequences, is the cause of peoples' growing rebelliousness, even though very few are aware of the history behind the events.
What the USA, the West and Africa failed to see in The Gambia with dictator Jammeh’s evil reign raping and ruining the Gambia with impunity.
Today, I am crying once again, my usual patriotic cry -- but this time, tears of rage and sorrow. Rage at the international community's failure to follow through, and sorrow at what now is happening in our beloved country. President Yaya Jammeh is using horrific methods to numb Gambia’s youth future leaders to barbarity for their only means for survival. Gambia’s institutions of governing and the economy under President Yaya Jammeh have collapsed, with ordinary citizens trapped between the cruelty of Jammeh-NIA agents of death and poverty and starvation. Since that hopeful day 22nd July 1994, the Gambia has endured the continuing slaughter of tens of its citizens and the imprisonment of hundreds more. Very regretful that the international seal of approval to Jammeh’s barbaric regime has unknowingly imposed dictatorship and horror on Gambians which Gambians power did not want and which today has disintegrated degenerating into violence and murder.
I firmly believe that Jammeh’s madness would have stopped long ago if the international community would have recognized the situation in the Gambia for what it is not Jammeh’s false democracy which is the beginning of a civil war, as civil chaos, is the outcome of the collapse of his government and had been willing to take appropriate action.
The international community should know and acknowledge that President Jammeh is brutally ruling and ruining the Gambia from 1994 to preset day, heading a regime so larcenous that I call it the "15-year plague of locusts." Our dear country is totally bankrupt and government agencies had been stripped of everything means of functioning independently with Jammeh’s dicta.
Those losses are small, though, compared with the psychological damage: Though dictator Jammeh have inherited a false democratic system from Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara, the founding father of our nation the neo- colonial ruler, today Jammeh’s regime the political elite has completely lost the habit of popular governance. Bureaucrats had forgotten how their ministries were supposed to function. Today the Gambian people trust no one and we are holding our barbaric corrupt leaders in contempt.
In reality Jammeh and acolytes are a ragtag group of disgruntled soldiers who from serving as peace keepers with ECOMOG in the civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone seized power in a demonstration demanding for salary back pay when they realized the seat of power in Banjul was vacant as President Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara fled into the US war ship fleeing to Dakar where once again he mistakenly thought he would be warmly welcomed and assistance given to him similar to that of the 31st July 1981 when the peoples revolution was crush by the invading interventionist bloody Senegalese army. Led by Yaya A.A.J.J.Jammeh, in reality, our dear country the Gambia had not possessed and still do not posses even a semblance of organized government for many years. The entire political elite, including most of Jammeh's cabinet ‘since he came to power, are all very corrupt and worse yet, inept.
To get a deal, the diplomats reinforced some fictitious notions already rooted in the foreign media, notions that the Gambia is a democracy when in actual fact we are under sever dictatorship with crimes committed here and there every day with impunity. Jammeh’s brutal oppressive regime behaves like some kind of political faction and a terrorist group.
But not far from a faction leader, President Yaya Jammeh was and is still a psychopathic killer leading a band of brutal and confused NIA teenagers.
He handpicked of his young security and defense henchmen by making them murder their own parents, brothers and friends then drugging them with Yamba. Yaya Jammeh doesn't want to govern the Gambia he wants to turn it into a criminal enterprise, a base for money laundering and drug smuggling. The Gambia is suffering from the rampant banditry that is accompanying the collapse of our nation state.
What our people are today witnessing is an amazing eye opener Jammeh’s criminal act. We as a people group must never let this sort of thing happen again and continue to happen. Much like the Holocaust. We must remember for the fear of forgetting will only open the door to let it happen again... many
Mark you my dear brothers and sisters Jammeh’s junta oppressive regime has no identifiable ideology, but can be defined by opposition to the corrupt political elite in Banjul which has plundered the nation's coffers and wealth
All what is happening in The Gambia now is political persecution and nothing more.
And I think every self styled and self made criminal here who was involved in that at that time in organization to institutionalize the dictatorial military junta, should be very, very, very ashamed that what started off as a noble mission to rescue the Gambia a presumed very, very noble patriotic intention degenerated to such despicable level of animal brutality.
This is real terrorism that has not just happened by accident and is now over; it's with the victims and all the Gambian youth our future leaders who have experienced this and will continue to feel it for the rest of their lives.
How do we close the doors that should never have been opened in these Gambian youth's minds?
People here have struggled for freedom and justice and died and lived and wondered, some unjustly imprisoned, some took the way of exile and many of them simply want to forget about this senseless political crime. But the question now is: How sure are we that this is not going to happen again, when we still continue to imagine the lies, neglect, and disrespect our young people, the very foundation we all rely on for a decent future?
"If you arrest a citizen whom you imagine erroneously and think he or she is an enemy because of I hear say, normally with the rule of law which we lack in the Gambia you should want to interrogate to prove he or she is wrong or right but for dictator Jammeh and his notorious NIA, what they want is to torture him or her; let Jammeh’s lion eat him or her up and their hearts and other vital organs of their presumed enemies used for rituals.
President Yaya Jammeh the elected dictator's response to criticism was and is always to deny stories of atrocities committed by his NIA. President Yaya Jammeh is eagerly spreading his crackpot terrorist ideas and methods of torturing opponents among West African political leaders whom he wish to behave like him in order to join in a reactionary barbaric political front to usurp power and terrorize the African masses that will justify their continuous stay in power to kill Africa.
These are strategies and evil plans by crackpot Jammeh because of his regimes lumpen social base and its lack of an emancipatory programme to garner support from other social groups, it has remained a bandit organization solely driven by the survivalist needs of its predominantly uneducated and alienated criminal NIA and murderous commanding officers.
The most gifted and cultivated intellects are included on the list of natural resources and they have their price tags on the Gambian and African markets of goods and services.
What is happening with the super-revolutionaries of the so-called far left in the Gambia? Frankly speaking some simply lack realism while others enjoy the pleasure of dreaming sweet dreams. Others still are far from being dreamers and are experts in the subject; they know what they are saying and why they are saying it. It is a well conceived trap that should be avoided.
They recognize the breakthroughs of the ADC as if it were a favor to us. Are they really short of information? That is not how it is. I can assure you that they are absolutely well informed.
Oh dear fellow Gambians why can’t you see and understand that our corrupt and shameless criminal leaders are busy playing political games to cheat you and rob you.
Arise oh great people of the Gambia, arise, struggle to build your own strong bridge to cross with safety rather than stand idle looking over an unknown world with an artificial bridge without any attempts to cross it. Your future destiny is in your hands and you have to assume your responsibilities.
Do not behave like the whipped blind man who has never and cannot see his torturer.
Time has come to smash the chains of bondage and free ourselves from Jammeh occupation, oppression, exploitation and terrorism.
Gambia must be totally liberated. Gambia must be free and proud of her rights for self-determination and live as free men with dignity and honour.
Arise, Oh beloved African Gambians of the future world.
Arise! We are not a people born to self-destruction.
Let us wake up to Gambia’s new beginning and return to the infinite of our African revolutionary consciousness.
No more long nights to devour our silence and allow neo-colonial toads compete with rhythmic excellence in mono-guttural violence.
Oh great Gambia of great hopes and boundless possibilities will your natural seed grain perish forever? We cannot dream and wait! We are no more ready to search for the bowl of shameful tears under our beds.
Away with heads crammed with misleading theories.
For Gambia’s total freedom, justice and genuine unity, the time has come now to dip clean fingers in the bowl together, and to put the brutal and enslaving Dollar, Dalasis, CFA and Euro behind us.
It is time that Jammeh and acolytes wash their blood stained hands.
Oh great people of The Gambia your noble mission to totally liberate The Gambia for her total union haunts us while barking dogs of destruction attempt to stand the way wide open for our freedom, justice and unity.
Whether the cock crews or not the sun will rise
