With the NewYork based organizations actively working on doing the groundwork needed to stage a demonstration for the upcoming trip of Yahya Jammeh to the United Nations, we must all as concerned people with substantial grievances against this evil man put all our engagements aside and throng to Newyork . Yes it would mean folks would have to take a day or two off work and school and throng to the venues were Yahya is going to be on September 7 and 8. It will also mean traveling hundreds of miles across these United States from Gambian populated centers like the metro DC area, North Carolina and Atlanta. Let us throng in buses or anyother means of transportation and for once do the right thing in standing up to evil. The metro Dc area where I live has several charter bus companies that run daily routes to Newyork. I will enquire from them and transmit my findings to folks willing to make the trip. The last time he was in DC he made it a point to lie to his teeth about how great and benevolent a leader he was, but we made sure folks in his hotel and the only other public event he attended knew exactly the illegitimate and evil leader he was. I can tell you that Yahya Jammeh is not remotely considered a respected leader of a country in United Nations. He is only there because he can show up like anyother third rate dictator able to manage a plane ride to NewYork. Our presence would greatly buttress the murderous nature of his regime. We have a little over two weeks to make the arrangements needed to be in Newyork. We all have a responsibility to confront the epitome of a regime that is actively employing murder, terror and stoking civil strife all in a bid to literally enslave a population unwilling to cede to his evil designs. While I can safely say the majority of the thousands of Gambians would probably not make it to Newyork come September 7, I am confident a sufficient number would show up to make sure the world is reminded once again that a creul tyrant is passing himself up as a leader of the good people of Gambia. The best way to mobilize people is to quickly establish a telephone number and contact person in each jurisdiction so that there is a clear sense of the number of people committed to making the trip. This would help the contact person make the appropriate transport arrangement since the bus companies would need specifics like time and numbers of people to schedule a trip. Volunteers would also have to be on the phone to let people know because some of our people have thoroughly tuned out Gambia and events associated with it. I would suggest that by Sept 2 the folks in Newyork be in a position to know the number of people coming from each area via the contact people . Even folks who would drive their own vehicles can just inform the contact person in their area. This would ensure an orderly demonstration that is coordinated to start ontime and achieve it's objectives to the fullest. So let us begin in earnest. I will take it upon myself to talk to the various organizations out here in the metro DC area in a bid to quickly establish a contact person and number from amongst them. I hope we can do the same in other areas.
