Is the writer of the piece the same Muhammed Drammeh that I used to enjoy reading? If he is, then I will like to remind Mr Drammeh that the country known as The Gambia is more important ANY faction in the country. One 1st of December last year the entire nation cast their votes for their preference. It is now undemocratic for one section to adhere to a differently conclusion. The rights of every single Gambian is guaranteed in the new order, unlike what they have endured in the past 22 and a half years. Please reconsider the democratic issues here.

Onderwerp: The Fonis are dignified people

 

 

The Fonikas are dignified people who should be treated with honour and dignity. Their liberty must be guaranteed and they should be allowed to prosper like the rest of the citizenry.

 

Yahya Jammeh is different from Shyngle Nyassi despite both being from the same ethno-linguistic group.

H E Barrow promised us that he is not out for revenge and that if any justice that is sought, a truth and reconciliation model will be his approach.

The Fonis are still as poor as the colonial period. Yahya Jammeh coming from Foni does not mean anything. 

We promised a one Gambia, one nation, one people. Let us make sure that the people of Foni believe us all. In the UK, minorities are protected from discrimination backed by the Equalities Act.

 

The most Honourable Halifa Sallah called Yahya Jammeh a rebel and yet he did not loose the respect of the Fonis. This is because even if they do not like what he said, they do not assume hatred of their people. Yahya has been oppressing them and even classified some as witches and wizards but why do they still revered him? This is because they do not believe, there is no agenda of a witch hunt against them.

 

The selective transfers of certain people from the Fonis especially the Prison Officer from Kanilai is unnecessary and uncalled for. Some like myself will intepret it like a calculated attempt machinated by hate with much desired vindictiveness. I hope people like me are wrong.

 

The Gambia is one and we are all related. The ethnic group we belong to is not by blood but by settlement. Let me give you an example, The Darboes of Diabugu and the Darboes of Dobo Kunda are of the same family. Today the Darboes of Dobo Kunda speak Mandinka while the Darboes of Diabugu speak Sarahule. Now which ethnic group do they belong to? The Ceesay Kunda of Diabugu and the Ceesay Kunda of Pakau are the same family. The ceesay Kunda of Diabugu speak Sarahule and the Ceesay Kunda of Pakau speak Mandinka. Where is ethnicity? The Drammeh of Jarra and the Drammeh Kunda of Diabugu are related but in Diabugu they speak Sarahule and in Jarra, they speak Mandinka. So where is ethnicity?

Our geographical locations is the reason why we speak differently but we are all one.

 

The Fonis are part of us and we are part of them. We are all the same in brotherhood and sisterhood. Our diversity is not a threat, it is our greatest opportunity.

 

Together, we will move Gambia forward.

 

 

Muhammad Bai Drammeh
