>> MANDELA’S OTHER CHILDREN: THE DIARY OF AN AFRICAN JOURANLIST by Baba
>> Galleh Jallow is a must read for all Gambians, regardless of political
>> affiliation. Everyone should endeavor to get hold of a copy. The book
>> gives a clear picture of Jammeh’s tyranny and serves as a clear
>> testimony
>> to Jammeh’s paranoia and arrogance. It documents not only Baba’s
>> experiences, but also such events as the murder of Ousman Koro Ceesay,
>> the
>> massacre of school children on April 10/11 2000, the closure of Citizen
>> FM
>> radio, the attempted burning of Radio 1 FM and the murder of Deyda
>> Hydara
>> on December 16, 2004, among other things.
>>
>> As I read the book, I did not know whether to cry for my dear country or
>> to laugh at the absurdity of the so -called security officers and their
>> “we just following orders from above” nonsense. What I however, got from
>> it is Baba’s courage and determination not to be cowered and bought by
>> Jammeh and his clique. This book will go down as the most vivid
>> documentation of Jammeh’s brutality against the press in particular and
>> The Gambia in general. It is all very revealing of the workings of the
>> NIA
>> because it is told by someone who has spent many days and nights
>> detained
>> behind the walls of their “dracula’s castle”
>>
>> If you are a Jammeh supporter, reading this book might help open your
>> eyes
>> to the true colors of the APRC/AFPRC regimes. If you are a Jammeh
>> critic,
>> this book will help you understand the dictatorial resolve of Jammeh and
>> his henchmen to stifle dissenting views and to stay in power by any
>> means
>> necessary.
>>
>> To the journalists, there is no better narration of their plight. The
>> book’s publication could not have come at a better time when our
>> colleagues Fatou Jaw Manneh, Lamin Fatty etc are being paraded through
>> the
>> kangaroo courts on trumped up charges, and the disappearances of Chief
>> Manneh and others.
>>
>> As is cogently put in the book’s back page description, Mandela’s other
>> Children “is a story of heroic resistance, stubborn defiance, and a
>> steely
>> determination to assert and preserve endangered sovereignties by
>> threatened social entities.” This book will provide you with
>> incontrovertible facts about Jammeh’s tyranny.
>>
>> Baba Galleh Jallow was editor-in-chief of the Daily Observer and Founder
>> Editor and CEO of the Independent Newspaper. He holds a BA in Political
>> Science, a Masters in Liberal Studies and is currently a PhD student in
>> History at the University of California, Davis. The book can be obtained
>> from http://www.freegambia.net/shop.html. Baba’s other books are Dying
>> for
>> My Daughter, Angry Laughter, and The Anatomy of Powercracy and Other
>> Essays.
