>>New york, Saturday 9th, some concerned Gambians met with dictator Jammeh
>>at
>>the Park lane Hotel from 4.15pm to 4.45pm for 45 minutes. They arrived at
>>the hotel at 1pm and were told that Jammeh was only  meeting with some
>>elders but they insisted that they must see him. They told the security
>>that, if Jammeh is really committed to solving the Gambian problems, he
>>will be prepared to meet them. One of Jammeh's security told them that he
>>doubted if Jammeh will meet them because people are calling at the hotel
>>only to insult them. He said that a Gambian pretended that he was a
>>supporter of the president and he was allowed to talk with him only to
>>insult him.
>>After three hours of waiting, one Boto Sanneh sanneh came to tell them
>>that
>>only few of them will be allowed to meet with Jammeh for security reason.
>>Boto started picking and choosing people whom he thought were supporters
>>of
>>Jammeh not knowing that all of them were there for one common reason, to
>>show the dictator their dissatisfaction with his absolutism regime.
>>About 5 of them were chosen and they took the elevator to the 24floor in a
>>small room where they met the dictator-Jammeh in a big gown. All of them
>>in
>>attendance were not more than 12 people.
>>Boto opened the meeting with the usual islamic Prayer. After the prayer,
>>Boto said that "you are here and the good president is here; he is ready
>>to
>>solve your problems".
>>Jammeh said that "I am happy to meet you people. One thing I cannot
>>understand is Gambians in US can't help each other like the Senegalese
>>people. Look at them in New York, the Senegalese have a radio station and
>>have a good business but you cannot find any Gambian who has established a
>>good business here.why?"He said "some of you people are here for 20 years
>>and have never gone back to the Gambia and your mothers are suffering
>>there".
>>Boto called  one Bangally, a Sarahuleh man, who is a member of our group
>>to
>>talk.
>>Bangally said, President, we are here but will never forget about back
>>home, our parents and our families. We are supporting them and doing our
>>level best for them. President, one thing I must tell you we are not happy
>>with your killer Government because you are killing our school children
>>and
>>arresting civilians.
>>From there, Yaya sought to have the microphone from Bangally to reply to
>>him and Boto took the microphone and gave to him.
>>Jammeh then said, "you do not know what you are talking about because my
>>Government has never killed a dog much more a human being. The students
>>who
>>were killed, no body knows who killed them. I am investigating the matter;
>>therefore, you are talking nonsense to tell me that my Government is a
>>killer Government". Jammeh said "you have heard what happened at Basse but
>>you are not talking about that, where the opposition stabbed a person to
>>dead.You are listening to non patriotic so-called educated people who are
>>writing negative things about my Government on the internet. Why is it
>>that
>>they didn't go back to the country and do something".
>>One Musa also got up and said "Jammeh if you build a house and put
>>everything there for a person, but do not give him/her peace, you have
>>done
>>nothing for that person. That is to say if you build The Gambia but fail
>>to
>>the people their rights, you have done nothing for them.
>>Jammeh said "people are in Gambia and nothing has happened to them because
>>they have done nothing wrong. If you do something wrong we will deal with
>>you.
>>The attendance was very poor and after all people went there just to pose
>>questions to Jammeh. He was expecting people like Boto to come and tell
>>him
>>that he is doing a good job for The Gambia but he was disappointed.
>>We hope The Gambia television will show the Gambians this tape.
>>I will take this oppotunity to thank all the gambians who one way or the
>>other show soliderity to the Movement in New York during this event.
>>
>>Sincerely,
>>A concerned Gambian.
