WHY SHOULD WE
ENGAGE CIVILIZED METHODS WITH THE UNCIVILIZED TYRANT, JAMMEH

                               A CALL TO MARCH
AND RALLY AGAINST JAMMEH’S TYRANNY!!!!

By Ousainou Mbenga

 

 For some of us, 18
years of condemnation of Jammeh’s savage behavior left us no more tears to
shed. 

We have written volumes upon volumes exposing his
calculated intentions to remain in power until the fate of tyrants like Mobotu,
Abacha and countless others befall him. If this is not the time for Jammeh and
his willfully ignorant AFPRC – APRC’S demise, then whatever insult or act of
barbarism he inflicts on us again, we deserve it. If there is no decisive
action taken against this savagery, then we should all shut UP and let him
reign forever. Jammeh’s actions should be met with an organized maximum
retaliation. 

 

Anything outside of an organized structure will continue
to entrench the foul social system of the neocolonial state. We must organize a
mass base to increase our fighting capacity against this monster. It is always
the masses that take to the streets to uproot tyrants like Jammeh while the
predatory politicians wait in the wings to hijack the victories of the struggle.
The problem has been that most of us want to by pass this important phase of
building an organized base under a discipline leadership. 

 

 “Mbeegi Ngaam
Borom Mako Feeyu” – We are the ones who have been slapped on the jaw, we should
be the one to slap Jammeh back. All freedom loving people can support our cause
but we must lead the struggle and give it direction to its logical conclusion –
VICTORY!!

 

First, neither Senegal nor Amnesty International or any
other international bodies are going to win our freedom for us from this
neocolonial buffoon fronting as a “savior” for Gambia and an example for
Africa. We were all witness to the admirable Senegal example when they got fed
up with Abdoulaye Wade’s stupidity. They didn’t call on America, Amnesty, the
impotent AU, or ECOWAS; they arose in their millions to fling Wade off their
backs. This is our time to show the world that we in the Gambian front of the
African revolution also have sensibilities for freedom and liberation from such
numbskulls as Jammeh. Even if this act of barbarism was not acted upon, the
mere utterance of this savage act either to intimidate or sow fear is
abominable. There is no doubt that this monster could have executed all 47
prisoners in one day hiding behind “Islam”.

 

Secondly, I unite and salute the exemplary stance taken
by Mai Fatty in the wake of this dastardly act by this pseudo – revolutionary
named Yaya Jammeh. Brother Fatty without any reservations denounced the savage
behavior and offered action oriented solutions. This is the moment for
COOPERATION and not to engage in senseless competition against ourselves. Let
us converge our efforts and deliver the lethal blow that Jammeh deserves.

 

The great Pa Dacosta is turning in his grave in protest
against the beast-like behavior of the same Jammeh that gave orders to “shoot
the bastards”, referring to the students on April 10 and 11 2000. Pa Dacosta
heroically spoke on the radio in support of the gallant students and urged the
women to “tie their waists” and avenge the death of their children since the
men have become impotently scared of Jammeh. Pa Dacosta is no longer with us in
person but his heroic spirit still lingers in our consciousness, so to honor
this spirit, let us rise in our thousands and thousands to uproot the AFPRC –
APRC and its henchman. 

 

Finally, we must exercise a high degree of discipline in
this process of protesting against this genocide and most importantly put an
end to his plans to execute any more prisoners. Out of these protests, there
must emerge a structure to sustain the momentum and organize the anger and rage
that is evident in all of us and the friends of Gambia. Let us not engage in
endless “talk – fest” to become mere “talking heads” devoid of organized
action. We in Washington DC will struggle for discipline and an honest work
ethics to foster COOPERATION. We are making a special call to our WOMEN and the
youth to come out and play their vital role needed in building a PROUD – FUTURE
SENEGAMBIA. SEE YOU ON TUESDAY.

 

                                                             
           VICTORY IS CERTAIN!!
