Musa, I echo your call for the spouses of these dictators to be aware and learn from history (in fact, recent history).  What I observe in many of these megalomiacs is their utter selfishness.  This selfishness is what dooms their immediate family with them.  They are so selfish that they do not even care about the plight of their families when they even know that the end is near.  As far as they are concerned if they will go down everyone should go down with them.  Just look at Mubarak,  Gbagbo, and Ghaddafi.  If Mubarak, Ghaddafi, and Gbagbo etc. were not selfish they would told their kids to leave town when the writing was on the wall but I have a feeling they felt they need their family near by for their (dictator) protection.  They feel that they all need to grind it out as they all enjoyed it when things were good.  That is the ultimate selfishness; being selfish to the extend of putting your own family in harms way.

It would be interesting to hear from surviving family members as to how they escaped the ultimate end.

So, Zainab, Jammeh will probably be no different.

Musa manka said:

The Death of tyrant Muhmmar Gaddafi is a huge relief for the people of Libya who have suffered four decades of his tyrany. But from a broader perspective, Africa in general have all suffered from Gaddafi. Ours in Gambia can never forget 1981 and also in 1994 after Yahya Jammeh's military coup. Like Gaddafi Yahya Jammeh has learnt so much from Gaddafi and got so much support from him both financially and militarily. Many Jammeh Green boys have been tarined by Gaddafi in Libya to come back home and brutalise Gambians. There fore Gaddafi's death is though sad but good for all nations gearing for democracy.

I now call on Zainab Suma Jammeh to reflect on the Arab uprising and learn something from it. Women whose husbands are tyrants should think hard that no condition is permanent. Look at the wives of Gbagbor, Gaddafi, Saddam,  Mubarrack. Ben Ali, ect and take stock from it. Save your children from this tyrant before he uses them as his charm and fall with them. A day will come if you take heed when you shall regret ever marrying him. Look at Gaddafi's sons and daughter, Saddam Hussains's and even Mubarack's sons? How about what would happen to Ali Abdullah Salleh and his son soon?
Be warned dictatorship and Tyranny would never last and time is now Zainab act now.
