This is indeed a tragedy and words cannot describe how angry I feel
right now, that such an event had to take place. Everyday, that goes by, I
am saddened by the direction that The Gambian is meandering towards. It is
extremely upsetting and degrading to find out, that our own people are
capable of acting out, on such inhumane acts of violence.
      There is no doubt in my mind, that Human Rights violations have
occurred, and there is also no doubt in my mind, that unless this issue is
addressed and tackled, that such dialogues, will crop up again and again. My
prayers go out to those that have lost their lives, at such an early age,
and may God bless them. I pray that their families will find the courage and
support that they need, as they go through this period of mourning and its
aftermath.
       It is high time that we have respect for one another as human beings.
It is time that we put each others differences and unite. We can achieve a
lot this way, rather than eliminating each other. We're in an era of
post-Independence, and we are supposed to be practicing democracy. If we
can't practice it, lets not hide under the blankets of the word. Lets call
it something else. All I know, is, that I will never forget this event and
others that have taken place, because, how can one forget, especially when
the most important place in most of our lives, is bleeding with tears and
blood. Thankyou for taking, the time to read this.
