During a government retreat held in Kanilai, a rather confused and depressed looking Yahya Jammeh told his cabinet that "democracy is an illusion" while insisting that it is an imposed western concept against third world countries. For Jammeh, he opines that there is nothing like democracy.  He argues that peace and stability takes precedence over democracy. The Gambian tyrant also said that democracy is a western concept, which is alien to the African continent. In a boring speech, which lacks coherence, Jammeh tried to lecture his Ministers about "neocolonialism and what he calls 400 years of British misrule” against the Gambia and her people.  Jammeh said the western imperialists came to the Gambia because of its rich natural vegetation and economic opportunities.  He accuses the British of stealing our wealth. He said the British after looting our merger resources, they left us with nothing.  Jammeh even tried to equate his eighteen years rule and that "of the British 400 years misrule."  He claimed that his government has done much better in advancing the lives of Gambians compared to the British. He said the British have not done anything for the Gambia--besides inflicting endemic poverty on our people.

As you are no doubt aware, as far back as 1994 with the advent of the current dictatorship, Gambians, including those in UK, have in different ways been fighting to rescue our country and her helpless people from tyranny. Yet the fact remains that the regime is not amenable to reason and continues the same dismal record of bad governance and human right abuses as highlighted by recent eyewitness accounts echoed by Radio Freedom.  Against this background and following a series of introspection and evaluation sessions, a number of concerned Gambians under my chairmanship concluded that Gambian communities resident in UK stood tall amongst Gambians at home and elsewhere, firmly committed to change in The Gambia and pursuing activities to that end.

Laurent Gbagbo’s Family Hosted In The Gambia Checked Out At The Airport!

The family of the indicted former Ivorian leader Laurent Gbagbo checked out at the Banjul International airport last week. They have been residing in this country for a while now. Gbagbo’s family are hosted in the Gambia by his former arms trafficker partner and brother Yahya Jammeh. President Alassane Outtara is being placed on notice that Gbagbo’s family and supporters are using Banjul as a base to prepare their homecoming. Outtara you need to look into this report seriously. Ivory Coast is likely to be plunged into another political turmoil if Jammeh is not cautioned. Our agents on the ground had possession of the names, passport numbers, and place of residence of Gbagbo’s family. We will publish the information in coming days. Gbagbo's family have been flying in and out of the Gambia.

OPINION: THE CASE OF SANNA BAH AND BOY DRAMMEH: What is the Jammeh Government doing to protect Diaspora Gambians against cases like this?

By: A Concerned Gambian

About a month ago, President Yaya Jammeh made a declaration against the Gambia Immigration and Custom Officers to stop taxing or harassing visiting Gambians with their belongings like mobile phones upon arrival at point of entry into the Gambia. Therefore, we are asking the President to take a firm stand against Government agents and its subsidiaries to stop taking advantage of Gambian Diasporans or potential investors. In this case MALIGAM.

Arms Presence In Banjul Causes Panic Around The Seat Of Power; Rumors Of Coup Abound;Security Standby Ordered!

By The Soldier

Pa, This is The Soldier again. We are in Dakar and our agents in the Gambia are sending a lot of information today. My able boss since Monday the dictator has been cancelling a sightseeing trip in the greater Banjul area. Dictator Jammeh is scared to death following information that some soldiers are plotting to overthrow him, dictator Jammeh is a coward. We the soldiers are angry because dictator Jammeh is only talking to certain individuals in the army. All the rest are just piece of crap, but he listens to people like Yankuba Badjie and Solo Bojang because they are his spiritual advisers. Solo Bojang and Yankuba Badjie are responsible for the sacking of so many soldiers. The last one to be sacked was former commander of state house Lamin Sanneh. So we are all angry at dictator Jammeh and we will get him soon.  Dictator Jammeh we know you know that we are angry, did the authorities not find a pile of weapons this week. Do you want to deny this, what caused the panic and long lines at the Denton Bridge this past Wednesday? Your people reported that you are checking tinted vehicles, dictator Jammeh that is not true. You were looking for weapons, you know that a lot of weapons enter the country. We are keeping some and are just waiting for the right opportunity. Dictator Jammeh why did you stop sleeping at Gunjur and Kartong?
