The waves of arrests, insults and physical abuse of opposition supporters
and any person ready to speak the truth for that matter is definitely
uncalled for. While i blame Gambians who voted for Yahya Jammeh in the past
preidential elections for the reason best known to them which i will say is
completely out of ignorance and discontent, coupled with selfishness, Yahya
Jammeh and his henchmen should also at the same time stop brutalizing
Gambian people for no just cause. Why insulting people, why assulting
people, and why arresting people? Because they do not share the same
ideologies with him. As Emmanuel Joof said in the Point published today,
"the situation in the Gambia is sorrowful", because really there is no rule
of law considering the behaviour of the government and its security agents,
be it police, the military, or the members of NIA who are publicly known for
their infamy. Yahya Jammeh should not treat Gambians inhumanly as if he
should be worshipped and feared as God. Even Allah, the Almighty gives
respect to a human being whether beivers or non-belivers in Him. So why
brutalising people because they do not believe in what he says or does.
Gambians have the civil right to speak against anything they see as unjust
and is not in the interest of the country. I keep saying that Yahya Jammeh
thinks he is better than Gambians and can do whatever he wants and get away
with it because those who are defending the interest of the Gambia have no
means to stop him. But Yahya Jammeh must know that there were many rulers
who thought they had the same power to misrule and maltreat their country
people, especially those who speak the truth, but they ended up destroying
themselves, and their country and their people still live. God is all seeing
and He is watching. It is hard though for Gambian people, but this day of
suffering must sooner or later come to an end in our one time peaceful
country. Whether anybody likes it or not, Yahya Jammeh is the president
today, but whether anybody also likes it or not Yahya Jammeh cannnot rule
the Gambia forever. He knows that for himself very well. For this reason
Yahya Jammeh should try and act with moderation when dealing with people and
bear in mind that no condition is permanent in this world, so are those
people who think their lives in this world and hereafter are in the hands of
Yahya Jammeh. Some gambians tend to forget that Allah, the Almighty is
existing. But time will tell and truth shall eventually stand by itself.
