Dear Gambians and friends of the Gambia,
                                                 Movement for Democracy and Development (MDD) working to promote Democracy, Human rights and Justice had a big protest in front of a down town New york Hotel where President Jammeh is lodging immediately after his arrival from The Gambia. The hotel activities were total disrupted and quests started to find out about the reason behind the noise and confrontation while all the other near by hotels had been peaceful but Ritz Carlton Hotel. 
 
Posters and banners were displayed around the hotel reading: (Who ordered the killing of Ousman Koro Ceesay? It is President Yahya Jammeh). (Who ordered the killing of our fourteen students? It is President yahya Jammeh). (Who ordered the killing of Dehda Hydara? It is President Yahya Jammeh). (Where is Daba Mareneh and the four officers whom President Jammeh claimed have escaped while on their way to be transfer from Mile 11 Central prison to Janjanbureh prison? We want to know.)

T-Shirts reading (Release Chief Ebrima Manneh, Release Kanyiba Kanyni were worn during the protest.

There were two ladies supporters of president Jammeh who attempted to counter our protest but were too weak to do so despite president Jammeh's own personal protective guards present at the seen. Major Alhagie Martin and Lft. Gilbert Gibba, some protocol officers were all at the seen but Jammeh cowardly refused to face the protesters but opted to escape into the hotel. 

The mother of all protest against President Jammeh has begun in New york. This is going to continue till the last day of his departure from the USA. We therefore, call on people of conscience, democratic minded people and believers of human rights to join us in these protests to let President Jammeh be aware that Gambia is not an Island.

During these protests, we will call on President Jammeh to release Journalist chief Ebrima Manneh, Kanyiba Kanyni and all rest of the detainees.

Those who want to reach President Jammeh can do so through the below hotel address and phone number.

The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park
50 Central Park South
New York, NY 10019
(212) 308-9100‎

Note, during the protest, the New York police were called to stop us but after explaining to them the reason for our protest, and more over the type of president we are protesting against, who kill his own people and dislike America, we were allow to go ahead.

From the executive Committee:
New York City, USA
