"An Ambassador is and honest man sent
to lie abroad for the good of his country"
Sir Henry Watton
Mr Essa B. Sey will go down in my book as the most
undiplomatic diplomat in the history of the civilised world. In the political
history of Africa, such barbarous and dastard incidents could only be compared
with events in Bukasa's Central Africa Republic and Apartheid South Africa. For
you to say that "there is no one amongst us serving under Jammeh and Jammeh
himself who would be so irresponsible to order the massacre of students." is a
thin veil to mask the incompetence of all "serving under Jammeh and Jammeh
himself." You may be an Ambassador, but surely you are not representing the
Gambia but Yaya Jammeh. You said the Gambia-List was "Over-reacting" to the
incident but yet you called this barbarity "a national tragedy". How, in
Heaven's name, could we refrain from "over-reacting", when such a monstrous
bestiality is perpetrated on innocent and defenceless students? Your attempt to
exonerate those "serving under Jammeh and Jammeh himself" is as empty as the
heads of those who pulled the trigger on these unarmed children.
One thing you failed to explain is how can
responsible Gambian soldiers face young Gambian students and aim at them and
shoot them in cold-blood. The ruthlessness with which these soldiers acted, is a
clear sign that "those serving under Jammeh and Jammeh himself " are incapable
of ruling a decent society.
Mr Sey, you are accusing people of "Hating", but
what transpired in the Gambia on 10th April 2000 is going down in our
history as the darkest day of our lives. I call you the most
undiplomatic diploma because you reacted without getting the true facts from
home, thus making you the only defender of some trigger-happy, armed nitwits. By
this action your promotion in Jammeh's dictatorship is guaranteed.
BROTHER, JAMMEH MUST GO!!!
