IN REMEMBERANCE OF FRIDAY, NOV,  11TH   1994

Fellow Gambians, it was ten years ago on Nov 11th 1994, when the evil
claws and jaws of the Jammeh regime tortured and murdered true and
innocent citizens of our beloved country. This was the day when many
families wept, when the sorrowful crying of owls and vultures was heard
across the horizon, signaling mothers, fathers, brothers, wives, sisters,
cousins, aunts, friends, nephews, nieces, grand mothers, grand fathers,
sons and daughters that their loved ones were gone and gone forever.

This sad day will remain in Gambian history books, in recitations and
incantations. This was a day that peaceful Gambia witnessed the worst kind
of killings in history. It was a day great sons of the beloved land were
buried alive, burnt to ashes and gunned down with AK 47 rifles under the
orders of outright arrogant, inhumane and incompetent Gambian self
proclaimed leaders.

The Jammeh regime’s tsunami of evil that ravaged The Gambia since 1994
started with the summary execution of the following great sons of The
Gambia on the sorrowful and sad day of November 11 1994:

  1.Lieutenant Bassiru Barrow           gone and gone forever
  2.Lieutenant Abdoulie Faal (Dot)              gone and gone forever
  3 Lieutenant Alieu seye                       gone and gone forever
  4 Lieutenant Buba Jammeh                      gone and gone forever
  5.Lieutenant Momodou Lamin Darboe     gone and gone forever
  6.Lieutenant Momodou Manneh           gone and gone forever
  7.Officer- Cadet Sillah                       gone and gone forever
  8.Cpl Bassiru Camara                  gone and gone forever.


The evil machinations of Jammeh and his cohorts executed many other
innocent ordinary rank and file. In all this President Jammeh claims to be
a democrat and a supporter of the war against terror when he is a
terrorist himself. President Jammeh must fully realize that he has only
succeeded in dividing us as a nation and as a people. Until today many
families are yet to know the whereabouts of their great sons.

Fellow Gambians, it is a moral obligation for all Gambians to raise a very
high alarm and send a clear signal to Jammeh, that we have gotten enough
of his evil and murderous rule and that it is time for him to go and go
forever.

As a brother, my messages to President Jammeh are to call a national
reconciliation, seek for forgiveness from all those he has wronged and
hand over power to a transitional government. I also urge President Jammeh
to release all Political Prisoners including Lieutenant Lamin jarju,
Lieutenant L.F. Jammeh, Lieutenant Landing Bereck Sanneh and Lieutenant
Alieu Bah.

Fellow Gambians, my memories of this sad day shall never fade as I still
remember when Peter Singhateh, Sana Sabally and the late Sadibou Hydra led
trucks full of soldiers with the main goal of taking my life away. It is
therefore not only incumbent, but a moral obligation upon me as one who
was HUNTED and still HAUNTED, to urge all conscientious citizens, to
recognize a one minute silence in this Holy Month of Ramadan, in
remembrance of all those who lost their lives on Friday, Nov, 11, 1994.
May their souls rest in perfect and eternal peace.
