Fellow Gambians, it was ten years ago on Nov 11th 1994, when the evil claws and jaws of the Jammeh regime tortured and murdered true and innocent citizens of our beloved country. This was the day when many families wept, when the sorrowful crying of owls and vultures was heard across the horizon, signaling mothers, fathers, brothers, wives, sisters, cousins, aunts, friends, nephews, nieces, grand mothers, grand fathers, sons and daughters that their loved ones were gone and gone forever.



This sad day will remain in Gambian history books, in recitations and incantations. This was a day that peaceful Gambia witnessed the worst kind of killings in history. It was a day great sons of the beloved land were buried alive, burnt to ashes and gunned down with AK 47 rifles under the orders of outright arrogant, inhumane and incompetent Gambian self proclaimed leaders.



The Jammeh regime’s tsunami of evil that ravaged The Gambia since 1994 started with the summary execution of the following great sons of our beloved country on the sorrowful and sad day of November 11 1994:



  1.Lieutenant Bassiru Barrow             gone and gone forever

  2.Lieutenant Abdoulie Faal (Dot)                gone and gone forever

  3 Lieutenant Alieu seye                                 gone and gone forever

  4 Lieutenant Buba Jammeh                           gone and gone forever

  5.Lieutenant Momodou Lamin Darboe            gone and gone forever

  6.Lieutenant Momodou Manneh                        gone and gone forever

  7.Officer- Cadet Sillah                              gone and gone forever

  8.Cpl Bassiru Camara                                    gone and gone forever.





The evil machinations of Jammeh and his cohorts executed many other innocent ordinary rank and file. In all this President Jammeh claims to be a democrat and a supporter of the war against terror when he is a terrorist himself. President Jammeh must fully realize that he has only succeeded in dividing us as a nation and as a people. Until today many families are yet to know the whereabouts of their great sons.



Fellow Gambians, it is a moral obligation for all Gambians to raise a very high alarm and send a clear signal to Jammeh, that we have gotten enough of his evil and murderous rule and that it is time for him to go and go forever.



As a brother, my messages to President Jammeh are to call a national reconciliation, seek for forgiveness from all those he has wronged and hand over power to a transitional government. I also urge President Jammeh to release all Political Prisoners including Lieutenant Lamin jarju, Lieutenant L.F. Jammeh, Lieutenant Landing Bereck Sanneh and Lieutenant Alieu Bah.



Fellow Gambians, my memories of this sad day shall never fade as I still remember when Peter Singhateh, Sana Sabally and the late Sadibou Hydra led trucks full of soldiers with the main goal of taking my life away. It is therefore not only incumbent, but a moral obligation upon me as one who was HUNTED and still HAUNTED, to urge all conscientious citizens, to recognize a one minute silence in this Holy Month of Ramadan, in remembrance of all those who lost their lives on Friday, Nov, 11, 1994. May their souls rest in perfect and eternal peace.
