>Ruling APRC big wigs will tell you that if the military had not toppled

>democratically elected government of Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara, founding
>father of Gambia's independence. What an interesting revelations.
>Civilians taking arms against Jawara's regime? Toppling Jawara for what
>reasons? Having another 1981 rebellion?

>JAMMEH NOT READY THE FALLEN SABALLY SHOULD
>TO STEP DOWN NOW ALSO FACE JUSTICE ONE DAY
>Such misplaced statements are well documented. Their arguments are
>premised on two grounds. One, they argued that there was growing
>discontent among the civil populace at the time. Second, the APRC junta
>led by dictator Yahya Jammeh said corruption and nepotism was the order of
>the day under Jawara's era. They advanced all types of arguments to
>justify their unconstitutional move to topple the PPP government.

> The situation is the reversed today. There is growing discontent

>mess perpetrated by the Kanilai so called "mansa" will change for the
>better.

>We have more unemployed youths today in The Gambia for the first time in
>our nation's history. We are also witnessing more economic crisis and
>prostitution under Yahya's watch. Due to increasing poverty HIV/aids is
>on the rise. A recent findings released in The Gambia by HIV/aids
>researchers indicate that over 15,000 of the population are now living with
>the virus. With a population of less than 4 million people, such
>findings is indeed a worrying. We are being told by aids experts that
>if urgent action is not taken to tackle this pandemic the nation's future
> is gloomy. This was not the type of Gambia, we all anticipated when the
>"kaki" boys came in July of 1994.

>Jammeh is on record for having said that "this is a military government
>with a difference" Indeed, since he Yahya had robbed Gambians in a span of
>11 years. He had risen from "poverty stricken military lieutenant to the
>position of the most richest president in Africa". Prior to the July 22ND
>coup Jammeh did not own a car not to talk of a landed property. But
>today, we are hearing about his Morocco villas and Kanilai Manson.
>It's reported that he had erected an under ground house in Kanilai.
>This reminds me about the Liberian executive Manson. Where is dictator
>Charles Taylor today? With all his might and wealth, he was forced to
>leave the executive Manson. He is today a refugee in Nigeria, while
>awaiting his fate at the UN court in Sierra Leone. Yahya Jammeh needs to
>wake up from his slumber and stop messing with our country. A day will
>come, you must be accounted for your evil deeds. Go ahead with your
>tyrannical policies, justice will one day be
> meted out to you and your corrupt government.
>
>Under Yahya's 11 year rule, Gambians had been exposed to all forms of
>terror ranging, from abduction, false arrest, torture and extra judicial
>killings. The records are there to speak for its self.

>Our country is today at cross roads. There is no indications to suggest
>that Yahya Jammeh will step down from power honourably. He is ready for
>the worst to maintain the office of the presidency. Reading his
>statement on the sacking of the IEC chairman, Jammeh is telling Gambians
>that he is ready to crush anybody who is bent on "disturbing the peace" of
>the country. I'm compelled to ask this question. Who is disturbing
>Gambia's peace today? There is no person disturbing our cherished peace
>other than Yahya Jammeh. His past statements to bury his critics six feet
>deep are well document. Also his statement that "most of his critics
>making noise will not be a living witnesses of the 2006 election are also
>widely documented".

>Gambians should stand up be counted against the maladministration taking
>place in our country today. We owe it to the future generation to engage
>the Jammeh dictatorship. It's incumbent upon any son of the soil to speak
>out against such an illegitimate and undemocratic government. Gambians
>should also depart from the culture of silence and advocate for politics of
>peaceful demonstrations to vent their anger against the current state of
>affairs. The opposition and civil society groups must take the lead in
>this patriotic move. The struggle for the restoration of democracy in The

>sons and daughters to defend our constitution, which had been reduced to
