Subject: Re: [>-<] UDP defies the unjust law of APRC. The New Approach!!


Bro Jallow,
Thanks for this info. Such actions by the UDP are long over due. Defiance against the repressive tactics of the regime is the only way to cut the bullshit of this repressive regime. As long as the people see that the parties are ready and willing to demand for their basic rights, it will rejuvinate politcal action to break the environment of fear this regime created since imposing itself on the nation in 1994.
 
The parties (all parties) must now show solidarity with UDP to free Femi Peters. They must not show limitations of the past, where Koro Cesssay's death, the butchering of soldiers, the slaughtering of 14 school children, the muder of Deyda Haidara, the shooting of lawyer Ousman Sillah and the rampant torture on detainees are left unchallenged and failing to force the regime to bring those responsible to account for their crimes or force the regime to investigate these crimes. The lack of public pressure through consistent protest and the failure of the politcal parties to rally the people around such national crisis made the regime to believe it can do anything with impunity and to assume that the people are cowards. This is a myth. It is the opposite. The regime is a cowardly regime and therefore can only rule through putting fear in the psyche of the populace that the regime can kill and nothing will happen. Fear destroys people. Gambians can now compare the past with the present and be ready to find answers to their present condition. It is the myth around this regime that need to be broken and the regime succeeded in creating it because of the way the believe system is embedded in the tradtions of the society. This is why our old mothers and fathers can be rounded up in the villages and poisoned for being withches. It is because our society believe in such practices. The believe that one is in power because God place him there is a myth and this is why religion becomes a tool in hands of this baffoon in power. The believe that only God can remove him from power is a myth because God has nothing to do with injustice. However, it is a believe in our society. That myth that one is or can be a super natural being is in our psyche and the regime  is using that believe to its own advantage. Just look at the air of arrogance surrounding the appearance of Yaya. 
 
The parties must use this unlawful arrest of Peters to turn a new page in our battle for justice and to ensure that this regime is tamed. What I can assure all parties is that the biggest fear of this regime is to have any major national crisis such as mass killings or mass arrest of the citizens that will bring the calamity of our nation to international scrutiny. The present global climate is not in favour of brutality.
 
So let the parties face the challenge realise that it is UPD today and it will be some one else tomorrow.

Bro Haruna, Suntou et al;
 
http://www.gainako.com/news/news/2009/10/27/udps-femi-peters-granted-bail-but-charged-with-unlawful-assembly.html
 
Any ways nice to see these threads running. 
 
I join the rest of you to condemn these lawless acts.
 
The good part here; the UDP is cooperating with information.
 
I encourage them to continue doing that in making sure these goons of the APRC are exposed.
 
Kind regards,
yj

Thank you Suntou for sharing. I think Sillah and Sarr are doing yeoman's work and they must be commended and supported. I enjoyed the interviews and I will place a call of commendation to Sillah and Sarr as a show of support to their efforts in highlighting the odious state of affairs in Gambia. We will place a link to GRTS International on The GDP's site when possible to help spread the good news for Gambia. We will also propose a comprehensive partnership with the Save The Gambia Democracy Project and The Gambia Journal to accentuate our common purposes.
Thanx again Suntou for sharing. Haruna.

 Thanks Paco for the good statement. In fact we all by now knows about
 the unlawful arrest of Dr Peters. The Gambiajournals branch, the GRTS
 International onilne Radio did a good interview with Ousainou Darboe
 UDP leader, Legal expert Lamin J Darboe, My humble self and may be
 others. Find the interview below:

 Ousainou's defiance is long over law one may say, but he has always
 stood up and challenge the unlawful activities of the APRC leadership.
 Now the time is ripe for lawful and legitimate open challenge to the
 thugs of the APRC.
 Right thinking Gambians will continue to stand with Ousainou, Femi and
 others in the quest for a better and free Gambia.
