Comrades:
Let us follow democracy and the will of The Gambian people. Ms. Awa
N'jie's strategy should have been formulated on April 12, a day after the
innocent slaughter of our school kids. The opposition must be willing to
lead and use every move in getting the dictator out of The Gambia.
We must remain strong and vigilant against the enemy. We must use every
available resource to protect our rights. We must not let the dictator
define us. No Gambian should doubt the initiatives we can use to take our
country back.
The dictator must go. Yahya is the worst thing that ever happened to The
Gambia. Dictator, please resign for the interest of our children. You
have caused enough damage. We are crippling and want your quick exit.
Naphiyo,
M.Lamine J. Conteh
