G-L Family,
Out here in Norway, as in other places, we`re equally busy at work since the bombshell of April 10th and 11th the shrapnels of which have reached and affected every nook and crany of Gambian society whether home or abroad. Concerned citizens and friends of The Gambia are showing enthusiasm and expressing their solidarity in condeming this madness being perpetrated by the government. There is one common unifying force that has brought us together, and what we are asking for is not much. We are only asking for JUSTICE to take its right accord and an end to a reign of terror!
In this light, a petition has been drafted to be sent to Amnesty`s Norwegian chapter, Red cross, and The Norwegian Foreign Ministry. We`re trying to get in touch with the press, especially papers like "Klassekampen"(Class struggle), VG and Universitas the largest student mouth piece in Norway to help make our plight known to the Norwegian people. Already many people have signed the petition, and made contributions. It`s easter break here and that means everything closes down until next Tuesday at which time we`re planning to hold a meeting to lay out more plans and strategies and to make more collections. There is a proposal to cordinate and work together with The Gambian community in Denmark so that our demos could take place simultaneously.
Talking about respect and earning it, "that woman" is yet to earn one. I assume she must have heard of the Kenyan lady Wangari Maathai who launches protests against reckless developments by the Kenyan government. When Moi wanted to erect a 62- story office tower in Uhuru Park, Wangari and her band of mothers and grandmothers forced the dictator to back down. She has earned my respect. She is the type of daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and leader Africa needs. She is powerful, independent and strong and can move a mountain! But the one we have home who is being programmed and directed like a robbot, LORD HAVE MERCY.
Happy Holiday to you all.
Regards,
Omar.
