APIA to Honor Deyda Hydara

http://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/article/apia-to-honour-deyda-hydara


It is good to honor those that deserve honor. At least, the late Deyda
is not forgotton. His legacy has survived the test of time. The
coverage accorded to his legacy by itself is enough to intimidate
those cowards that took his life. I am really impressed by the Point
and the many outlets that made it a point of duty to remember Deyda.

But like the daughter to Steve Biko complained one time in South
Africa, though his father was killed because of the South African
struggle, his father's name was almost a forgotten name. (Courtesy &
forwards by Sab/Bantaba.) If trends are to go by, then Deyda's
situation is truly different.

In the overview, it is amazing how you can try to eliminate something
that burdens you -some truth that intimidates you, and in then achieve
the opposite. I am sure any time that Deyda's name is mentioned, the
cowardly killers will feel a sense of guilt, a touch in their wounded
hearts, a strange feeling -one that reminds them of what awaits them
in the hereafter. It is indeed a worst state of affairs to be in,
knowing that their hands are dirty with blood of humanity. In the end,
there is a true failure on their part. Had they known, Deyda would
have better lived than die.

R.I.P sleeping giant!
