  Breaking News: Gambia: OPPOSITION LEADER WARNS GAMBIA’S SECURITY FORCES
AHEAD OF ELECTIONS!
*OPPOSITION LEADER WARNS GAMBIA’S SECURITY FORCES AHEAD OF ELECTIONS!***

By Staff Reporter Modou Jarju, Banjul

Speaking at a weekend political rally, barely one day after the
Presidential nomination opposition leader Ousainanou Darboe urges the
country’s security forces to desist from party politics in the build up to
the November polls. Thousands United Democratic Party supporters thronged
the rally venue which was held in Sida Club in Latrikunda German.  The
meeting was organized by UDP’S National Female Wing in support of their
leader’s fourth term bid to unseat dictator Yahya Jammeh’s Government.

A confident looking Lawyer Darboe, who was applauded by a cheering crowd
appealed to members of the security forces to refrain from meddling into
active politics.  The opposition leader noted that the Presidential race is
between the opposition, and incumbent President Yahya Jammeh. And as such
Darboe said he expects high degree of impartiality among our men, and women
in uniform.  He advises  Gambia’s security forces to be professional, and
live up to their constitutional mandate—that’s to protect lives and
properties irrespective of who is affected.

Publicly warning President Jammeh, and his ruling APRC, the UDP leader said
his party will no longer tolerate nonsense from Jammeh’s supporters. He
says in as much as the UDP cherishes peace, and stability, the party will
sit by allowing Jammeh rogue supporters trampling with their rights. He
says the UDP has zero tolerance for harassment in the coming polls, and
thus warns the APRC, and members of the security forces to respect the laws
of the land.

“The Security Forces in the Gambia are our brothers, sisters, daughters,
cousins, nephew, and nieces.  So we are one family with you as you are here
to protect us,” said Mr. Darboe noting that 2111 is a year of political
transformation in The Gambia.  Mr. Darboe said Gambians are determined to
take their country back from monster Jammeh, and nothing can stop such a
change of political leadership.

Lamin Dibba, Syngle Nyasi, Dembo By Force Bojang, Aja Yamundow Yarbo, Fatou
Janneh, Alhagie Bubu, Fatoumatta Jawara and others at the rally all spoke
for the need to  end the  dictatorship in the Gambia. They  called on
Gambians—most importantly women, and youths to vote massively for the UDP
in order to effect a genuine change of the current corrupt Jammeh status
quo.
