MILOSEVIC'S DEATH SHOULD SERVE AS A LESSON TO JAMMEH!!!!
MILOSEVIC'S DEATH SHOULD SERVE AS A LESSON TO JAMMEH!!!!

The death of the former Serb Leader dictator Slobodan Milosevic, should serve as an eye opener to other  dictators like Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh. Death has no boundary and whoever believes that life is permanent, must be living in a dream world. No one with his right mind will celebrate the death of a fellow human being. But the truth be told, Milosevic was a dictator of the highest order. He has answered to God’s calling, which we are all waiting for.

THE DICTATORS  ARE FALLING!!!

The UN’S efforts to bring him to justice never materialized, in view of his demise. He was charged with series of offences by the UN Court, one of them crime against humanity. Several thousands of people died under Milosevic rule, despite the growing international condemnation of his repressive rule, which divided Yugoslav.

Tiny West African country, The Gambia, is also being ruled by another Milosevic, who is in the person of President Yahya Jammeh. Despite the growing unpopularity of his regime, Jammeh, had over the years ruled the impoverished nation with an iron hand. Jammeh, applied all kinds of repressive tactics to cow down his critics and opponents.

Under his rule, journalists, lawyers, students, religious leaders, judges, civil servants, and other sectors of society suffered the brunt of his dictatorial policies. The lucky ones, survived while a good number of them were either killed, jailed, or forcefully exiled. Common law and political prisoners continues to languish in jail without trial.

It was Jammeh, who said the biggest tribe in The Gambia, the Mandinkas will not rule that country, in the next thousand years. Little did Yahya knows what the future holds for him. Man proposes God disposes. His late brother dictator Milosevic, never anticipated that his regime would one day come to an end. But Guess what? When God’s time came, he left dishonorably after been chased by a popular uprising.

Jammeh, should wake up from his slumber and stop the forced rule he  is trying to impose on Gambians. The very people, he is putting on hit list, wanted list, assassination list or whatever you may call them are not criminals, but patriotic Gambians interested in the welfare of our country. Gambians will one day, remember Yahya Jammeh as one of our country’s rulers. That day is coming, God willing. If Jammeh, thinks that he will ever continue to rule that country, he most be a fool. It is only fools that never think about the future. Such people takes life for granted and they will end up in failure.

SADAAM TOO IS IN CAGE!!!!

Dictators, have no place in decent society. The likes of Jammeh, Saddam, Taylor of Liberia will dance to their own music sooner or later. The civilized world don’t want to associate themselves with such blood thirsty leaders, bent on undermining liberties and freedoms of citizens. Jammeh, shared common characteristics with Milosevic and Gambians will live to remember him.

FORMER REBEL TAYLOR

Our country, had been denied development by Jammeh and his cronies. His leadership are hell bent on milking the country to the detriment of poverty stricken citizens. From 1994, to date, several millions of dollars found its way into overseas bank accounts thanks to the regime’s collaborators engaged in money laundering, gun running and blood diamond sale. Jammeh’s own right hand man and close confidant Baba Kajali Jobe was indicted by the UN for arms trafficking and the sale of blood diamonds in war ravaged countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone. Our country, is being presided over by such dirty people, whose integrity is being put into question.

Taylor’s extradition to the UN Court in Sierra Leone will not go down well with his errand boy Yahya Jammeh. Jammeh, knows what awaits him, if Taylor is taken to that court. Mr. Taylor will spill the beans, which will certainly lead to his extradition as well. The blood diamond trade, so we learned, was a well coordinated scheme and the continent will be shocked if the likes of Taylor happens to face the UN court. The dictators are falling. What a dramatic twist? We rest our case.
