Never in the annals of Gambian history, with the exception of the 70's,
[Matarr Sarr-Saul Samba fiasco], shocked Gambians woke up to the April 10 &
11, 2000 planned and executed massacre of demonstrating students. We have
witnessed psychotic and traumatized 20th and 21st Century leaders like Yahya
Jahanama hiding behind a political mask, surrounded by emptiness and fear.
with the July 22, 1994 putsch of Jawara's regime, the AFPRC [ Armed &
dangerous forces of pillaging rudderless criminals], the abandoned mantra of
ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY & PROBITY was the order of the day, now, it's
the desperate and survival mode of THIEF-THIEF TECHNIQUE, whereby, the
Emperor [Yahya] has no clothes on and do not like to be told that, he's
naked; stole the farmer's $30million and shifted the blame on Captain Ebou
Jallow; Crushed ex-Minister of Finance's [Koro Ceesay] skull with a baseball
bat and torched the brother in his car and claimed the Cabinet Minister
committed suicide. How absurd? How callous? How Dreadful? Mutilated and
riddle the bodies of sleeping soldiers with AK47 rifles and claimed attempted
coup d'etat; positioned Gambia into $$ counterfeiting heaven, drug & blood
diamond entrepot and mercenary/arms/ammunition bastion and blamed the hard
working Sarahules as masterminders of such trades; Before leaving for Cuba,
left strict orders to shoot and kill any demonstrating students, resulting in
16 students dead and dozens still unaccounted for, guess what? He, Yahya and
coconspirators blamed students for raiding an armory at a police station and
killing each other. It's Yahya stupid! Knowing his creepy and reptilian
character, Yahya, now wants to mark the anniversary of the massacre, with a
staged parade of corrupted/coopted/gullible students lead by the
drunken/high-on-smack pied-piper police band. What a shame and travesty Yahya
Jahanama. I know, the bodies of the fallen students are rolling in their
graves. Parents/family members of the deceased, don't despair, as their
spirits will haunt him and his 'killers for hire' for their eternal lives.
The literary sedation of the Gambian populace by the status quo include the
threat that, since all Movements and Opposition Parties are unpatriotic and
subversive, dire punishments will be meted out to any supporters of theses
groups. We have permitted a suicidal situation to unfold, wherein, our sons
and daughters, as young as three years of age are murdered and society's
innate hypocrisy, contradictions and apparent failure of almost every facet
of our sociopoliticoeconomic life.
Our way out of this conundrum, lies in our action or inaction. Either, we
organize or unite in a coalition that employs realistic, strategic and
tactical manifestation of our societal welfare, or, our fears and
frustrations will always turn into political paranoia, hence turning us into
the lowest common denominator. The time to act is obviously not when? But
now.
