Bro Khaleel,
 
Here is another difficult task at hand. The beautiful and charming Fatou camara is currently unlawfully detained for God knows what reason by the criminal regime of Yaya Jammeh. Fatou might be your blood sister, and to us, she is a Gambian citizen. On that note, I would borrow from LJD, "...I wholly reject her unlawful arrest and detention."
 
I have always admired you. I like your honesty and modesty on life in general. I congratulate you for a well articulate interview. I will say hang in there. Nonetheless, please allow some of us vent out on our frustration with this regime and those that after knowing much about this regime still associated with them. It is called guilt by association.
 
Correction to LJD: I think Khaleel pointed out to some of the regime's defficiencies in his last GRTS interview (LIVE) that almost cost Malick Jones his job. I think the captain's disclosure about his low participation on Gambia's political sphere is accurate, though to his support, I can say that he is a sympathizer to our dilemma, notably by his participation to some major events notably fundraisers. Let us be very clear that Fatou Camara is an adult and she took her own decisions which Khaleel probably had no influence on. Family is very powerful and I can certainly understand how that will make the captain emotional and sensitive to our opinions about her sister. We certainly stand in solidarity with Fatou's family, but also, we must remind Fatou that we remain the warriors fighting for everyone's rights. We hope that her and the many others will learn from yet another one, the arrest of Fatou Camara. Just recently, we were dealing with the likes of Momodou Sabally, Tangara and the many of their lost souls out there abetting the criminal regime. The pains knows no bounds.

 

On a separate note, Jammeh's speech was very deceptive. He was buying time and distracting the world from the real issues. In short, he was being a damn hypocrite. He refused to talk about the executions, human rights violations, his clash with the EU, and even some of the pan-african views he misconstued and tweeting it to suit his criminal and evil agenda. It is clear deception and distraction!! I was thinking that he will discover cure for gout.  The man will not compromise. We are dealing with a very dirty criminal. It is certainly cheaper for people to contribute money to ask for Jammeh's head dead or alive than continually having to continually deal with all these troubles. 
 
 
 
I find the following very beautifully written and I like to associate fully with it....thanks again LJD et al for educating us on this matter and making it a healthy and a progressive debate.
 
Best regards,
Yero
 
 
[...On Fatou Camara, the issue is somewhat tricky, but I wholly reject her unlawful arrest and detention. Those inclined as Fatou are yet again confronted with the singular truth that a system equally protective of every Gambian is the only system that ensures national security. In the US, the philosophy is framed in the contention of "a nation, not of men, but of laws". Someone like Fatou who spent time in the US should appreciate that compelling truth. ...] --LJD
 
[...For the avoidance of any doubt, I reject Fatou's unlawful arrest and detention. From a humanitarian perspective as a parent, son, grandson, uncle, brother, etc., I am deeply saddened by her plight. I have genuine sympathy for Captain Camara, and his family. If only because she articulates the utter lie of the Professor's kindness, as well as remain indifferent to his callousness to other human beings, I will not attend any demonstration in support of Fatou. I know many with similar views, and major commentators in our online community intimated to me they don't care even to discuss her plight. Who can blame them? ...]--LJD
