Folks,
We thank you all for your tremendous show of solidarity in connection with
efforts to free Mr lamin Waa Juwara. Please be rest assured that Waa shall
be informed of your patriotic solidarity, and we have no doubt that it will
serve to augment his resolve to take on the A(F)PRC regime. While we crave
for your indulgence, we hereby preomise you that we will use your excellent
suggestions, among others, to design appropriate action.
With regard the thrust of our statement, we wish to assure you all that it
is in consonance with the persuation of Mr Lamin Waa Juwara himself. As a
nationalist politician, he desires us to put the solution of our national
predicament before his personal convenience.
With regard Pa Manneh(the prexy of NDAMS youth wing), the forces of misrule
continue to harass him in order to emasculate our operations. After his
reaction to Hon FJC'S scathing remarks on Waa, he was instructed to present
himself to the police. When he did so , he was asked why he had not been
reporting to them. Pa reminded them that their original instructions to him
were that he should go home and that if they need him , he would be called.
They then asked him why he is making public statements. Pa informed them
that there was no gag order on him and that it is his constitutional right
to make public statements. He was then allowed to go home.
However, we are convinced that this is part of a conspiracy to silenced the
opposition orchestrated by the A(F)PRC regime. But we shall not  give in,
untill the people of the Gambia enjoy their constitutional rights and
freedoms.
We thank you all for your support.
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!
Omar Joof.

>>FREE WAA JUWARA
>>FREE ALL THE PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE
>>PUT JAMMEH ON TRIAL
>>
>>
>>The Secretary General of the National Democratic Action Movement, Lamin
>>Waa
>>Juwara was, on Monday, 16th February 2004, sentenced to six months
>>imprisonment, for “uttering seditious words.”  This tyrannical sentencing
>>of
>>NDAM’s leader, (without the possibility of a fine), on trumped-up charges,
>>has vindicated us beyond all doubts as to who really controls Gambia’s
>>judiciary, showing also, the high-handed attitude bias of justice Paul.
>>
>>Our characterization of some of the Nigerian judges and prosecutors as
>>“mercenary judges” is to raise the alarm for all Gambians to take heed of
>>the road to hell that Jammeh is paving for our beloved country.  The
>>serious
>>among us must resist and destroy the judiciary structures that M.A. Paul,
>>Akomaye Agim, and Emmanuel Fagbelle are helping Jammeh to construct.
>>These
>>mercenary judges in one way or another contributed to the wreckage of the
>>entire social fabric of Nigerian society, now, they want to subject Gambia
>>to the same demise.
>>
>>If all the atrocities of the AFPRC- APRC for the past nine years haven’t
>>alarmed you, then the current excitement and premature celebrations for
>>the
>>“discovery of oil, natural gas and heavy metal deposits” in the Gambia
>>should jolt you out of your slumber. Imagine how Jammeh, with his greedy
>>gangster mentality and his “sharers of crumbs” will behave in the advent
>>of
>>tapping these resources in the millions of barrels of oil and tons upon
>>tons
>>of heavy metals. Jammeh and his regime have already revealed their
>>corrupt and predatory behavior during the “oil saga”; the period oil was
>>being lifted from Nigeria to Gambia and to this day the proceeds from the
>>sales remain a mystery.
>>
>>We will recall that, when diamonds were discovered in Sierra Leone, Pa
>>Siaka
>>Stevens promised the Sierra Leonians never to see poverty and hunger
>>again.
>>Look at what became of the country. When the tyrant Mobutu killed Lumumba,
>>he made the same promises to the Congolese, look at what became of the
>>Congo. Jammeh will surpass the greed of many of these African tyrants and
>>predators. Don’t believe the HYPE! The Jammeh regime is not qualified to
>>manage the meager resources of the day let alone resources of such
>>magnitude.
>>
>>Clearly, M.A. Paul, who was to sit only in the commercial court, has been
>>selected as the henchman for all the political cases as evident in Waa
>>Juwara’s case and who, without a doubt, influenced the outcome of Dumo
>>Saho’s case. These Nigerian “mercenary judges” Are highly corruptible and
>>will go to any length to silence and eliminate those of us who are
>>determined to spoil Jammeh’s plans to plunder our country.
>>
>>We in NDAM take this latest act of Jammeh’s tyranny as a test of our will
>>to
>>take the struggle to its logical conclusion.  As we always contend, we
>>will
>>never falter in our will to win and usher in positive, progressive, growth
>>oriented change for the Gambia, where the rule of law prevails.
>>
>>Together with our gallant counsel, Bory Touray, and the critical mass
>>support of the Gambian people, we are determined to fight this conviction
>>with all our might.  We are urging the Gambia Bar Association to take a
>>public position in this matter.  We are also asking the international
>>community to put pressure on the regime of Yaya Jammeh to release Waa
>>Juwara
>>and all prisoners of conscience in Gambia’s jails.
>>
>>We take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your concern and
>>support.
