“Ghanaian Killers In The Gambia Should Face Justice” Says Briton National

………..The Gambia has a duty to vomit out the killers in their midst .

By Michael Scales, UK

It is very difficult to watch a loved one in constant pain and turmoil. Such is the state of my beloved Gambia .So many friends without jobs or hope of leaving to find food and some few crumbs from the tables of the rich countries .The news of so many dying so tragically by the cruel fate of being in the wrong place at the wrong time is hard to take . It is bad enough ending life by illness or old age, but to die at the hands of fellow Africans ,alone and in the dark crying for Gods help surely is a sound that must haunt the killers of the helpless people ,whose only crime was hunger and poverty .It is surely right that countries such as those protected by the Commonwealth of Nations should remain outraged at the senseless killing of over 50 Ecowas citizens .It is also right that Gambians should ask the question of there Government , as to why so many are driven onto unsafe boats to the mercy of the perilous seas . I have asked this question before...but I will ask it again....How much is an Africans life worth ?

I have cried a thousand tears for Ghana , who seem so helpless in finding justice for those who were hacked to death .Many times I have played with the children of Ghana Town at Brufut.These friendly people who fish offshore for there livelihood. They never bothered anyone and took care of there own little community. They have the right to life. I have walked amongst them as a friend carrying one of their children .I was always welcomed. The Gambia has a duty to vomit out the killers in their midst . Ghana must remain steadfast and demand justice for as long as it takes. The Commonwealth Commission for Human Rights is a voice that is just and diligent .Whatever needs to be done to bring forth these murderers to justice must be done. For Africans sake. Indeed for Gods sake .

There remains an equation of equality to the right to justice that should not be deterred just because a mans skin is black. Where are those fine upstanding Africans that are leaders of men that so far remain silent ?Where are the voices that cry out for justice from Africa ?

Are they so entrenched in their own advancement that they fear to speak ? The hour is at hand for such good men to stand to be counted, less Africa shall remain a cursed land forever .Are the member states of the African Union but a toothless dragon that swaggers only to deceive , or do they truly care to represent their fellow Africans for pities sake. At this time even an expression of pity would at least be an insult to be tolerated. All remain silent. The silence is deafening.

As the Commonwealth Heads of State meet in Uganda....There remains a burning issue of the failed Governments of Africa .Independence was grasped willingly by all those who fought for its value and vowed to bring forth peace and prosperity for Africa .Sadly a hundred wars later ,Africa has still not turned the corner of hope for the future. Millions still die needlessly for want of food and shelter. Millions are driven from there farms by gun crazy militia who are free to roam and rape and steal at will . The goodwill of the British people and our Government should not stand alone for justice for the African. It is time for Africans to demand nothing less .Why Africans allow themselves to be dominated by thugs and criminals that steal there wealth and squander their heritage is a question that each and every African needs to ask. So many are dominated by so few. These few ,are the cancer that needs to be surgically removed by the people whose lives they dominate .I recall the words of Prime Minister Blair...".Africa remains a scar of the conscience of mankind "

"The West could easily cure its problems were it so minded "

I remain convinced that such words are cheap....it is time for action . That time is now.

God demands nothing less.
