Banjul:7/24/08-Gambia’s President Yahaya Jammeh, has openly confirmed that he is a dictator and let the West and their cronies get to hell, as nothing will change his dictatorial rule. The Gambian Head of State made this sensational acknowledgment in a speech marking the fourteenth (14th) anniversary of the July 22nd military take over at the Arch 22nd in Banjul.
Jammeh told a crowd of supporters and students that he is proud to be branded as a dictator. According to him leaders seen as non-puppets of the West are always labeled as dictators and non-respecters of human rights.
In a dramatic move the Gambian president during his speech asked the school children whether he was a dictator. The students initially did not respond well, but the Gambian leader insisted that they had to respond. The students finally responded well by saying no you are not a dictator.
It was at this moment that president Jammeh made a confession that he was infact a dictator. He added that the US. Government reports have labeled him as such noting that he is proud of that.
Some observers in the Gambia and abroad have seen this confession by the Gambian leader as an admission of guilt for the gross human right violations that happened in the country.
Undoubtedly, the former military Junta has hijacked all the projects in the country thereby making them his personal achievement. Secretaries of state are in fierce competition to praise president Jammeh.They dare not to speak in a public gathering without praising Jammeh.They attributed all good things in the country to as they call him His Excellency, while distance him from all failure, what a hypocrisy?
The nature of this year July 22nd celebrations is clear indication that the so-called revolution is not people's revolution. The presence of heavily armed soldiers and amour-cars are all indicative of the fact that the people behind the so-called revolution feel threatened.
