Hello Reader!
In an article that was published on Senegal's le soleil a message that was issued by RHADDO a Senegalese based Human Rights NGO therein it has denounced the actions vis-a-vis what is  taking place in The Gambia(politically-motivated ones) likewise killings,attempted murder and death threats.
The site to visit is (www.lesoleil.sn) edition of the 16th January 2004.
RHADDO is a very active body that can do a lot against any gvt in that area.They are based in Dakar but not composed only of Senegalese as some would think.
Some buffoons do not and cannot still understand how some foreign policy issues are shaped from bigger countries.Who would have thought that at this hour and second the state department's Africa section was going to ask Musevini to leave?! Who?! Here is a guy who has been up there and was being praised but because of certain democratic principles are being undermined within his country he is being warned to go.
Some people have been carried away by latest press releases thinking that yes they are free from that very pattern..."Ndeysaan!!"we will see.

Any leader in SubSaharan Africa today should understand that the principles of democracy are important for some congressmen and senators in the USA and other places in the West.Positive reactions today(press releases etc) may not mean a visa for anyone to be brutal and uncompromising.In fact the criteria that has been set by those institutions is far from an INDIVIDUALISED PERPSECTIVE! Things like AGOA etc etc,are based on collected data and also how much they respect the source that provided the data.Ok what about if the decision is reversed mid-way?! Is that not also possible? Ofcourse it is!
The fish,rivers,streams,oil wells and other natural resources all belong to the people and not a single person.Seeing national wealth as personal or an out come of one's magical powers!!!!is one of the worst mental diseases we can ever see.No president or leader should brag about  such natural resources.God decideds to give them out when and where he likes.
In the qur'an He ALLAH says: "Yaruzuqu mann yasha'uh Illaah ma'sha'Allah"-this verse means He Allah will spread his luck.goodness and other things and it reaches the people or person that He has chosen.This indeed! can only take place if and when He Allah likes!
Here he did not say a muslim or a this and that! He said a person or people.That includes everyone.You see when God rains, He rains on the sea and on the desert at the same time.He could have said that there is water in the sea so I am going to rain only on the desert! No God does not pick and choose neither does He like or dislike people because they are strong or weak.Infact in most cases He sides with the weak more over if they have been wronged or looked low upon by arrogant and so-called powerful beings! Power belongs to God and no one else!
I remember  seeing the slippers of one of the Pharaos or "Fir'awn" they were made of gold! Hmmm...this makes me recall "Yaasin wal qur'aanil kareem" and therein God says:"Iza araada shaya'an an yaqula lahu KUN FAY A QUN!" Whatever it is and how ever insignificant it maybe to us the humanbeings it is only when God says Be! that is happens!
So those of us who have GREEN BOYS and PURPLE MEN loitering in the streets trying to send death threats to editors and whoever,please note that God loves not the trouble shooter! No one can take away a second out of the other person's life if God does not destine that to happen. Jesus did share his bread with everyone whether some liked Him or hated Him.The bible also teaches us to be humble and just!
Lastly I will quote Federico Mayor former UNESCO Boss and he said:"War(instability)is created in the minds of people,therefore it is only in those very minds that it can be eradicated" He who promotes trouble and shakens the lives of other with threats will encounter the WRATH OF GOD without delay!
There are predictions that never miss their targets,Gambians have to be patient and watch what will become of anyone who wants to take God's place!

Time will tell!

Essa.
