One of Jammeh's security told them that he >>doubted if Jammeh will meet them because people are calling at the hotel >>only to insult them. He said that a Gambian pretended that he was a >>supporter of the president and he was allowed to talk with him only to >>insult him. >>After three hours of waiting, one Boto Sanneh sanneh came to tell them >>that >>only few of them will be allowed to meet with Jammeh for security reason. >>Boto started picking and choosing people whom he thought were supporters >>of >>Jammeh not knowing that all of them were there for one common reason, to >>show the dictator their dissatisfaction with his absolutism regime. >>About 5 of them were chosen and they took the elevator to the 24floor in a >>small room where they met the dictator-Jammeh in a big gown. All of them >>in >>attendance were not more than 12 people. >>Boto opened the meeting with the usual islamic Prayer. After the prayer, >>Boto said that "you are here and the good president is here; he is ready >>to >>solve your problems". >>Jammeh said that "I am happy to meet you people. One thing I cannot >>understand is Gambians in US can't help each other like the Senegalese >>people. Look at them in New York, the Senegalese have a radio station and >>have a good business but you cannot find any Gambian who has established a >>good business here.why?"He said "some of you people are here for 20 years >>and have never gone back to the Gambia and your mothers are suffering >>there". >>Boto called one Bangally, a Sarahuleh man, who is a member of our group >>to >>talk. >>Bangally said, President, we are here but will never forget about back >>home, our parents and our families. We are supporting them and doing our >>level best for them. President, one thing I must tell you we are not happy >>with your killer Government because you are killing our school children >>and >>arresting civilians. >>From there, Yaya sought to have the microphone from Bangally to reply to >>him and Boto took the microphone and gave to him. >>Jammeh then said, "you do not know what you are talking about because my >>Government has never killed a dog much more a human being. The students >>who >>were killed, no body knows who killed them. I am investigating the matter; >>therefore, you are talking nonsense to tell me that my Government is a >>killer Government". Jammeh said "you have heard what happened at Basse but >>you are not talking about that, where the opposition stabbed a person to >>dead.You are listening to non patriotic so-called educated people who are >>writing negative things about my Government on the internet. Why is it >>that >>they didn't go back to the country and do something". >>One Musa also got up and said "Jammeh if you build a house and put >>everything there for a person, but do not give him/her peace, you have >>done >>nothing for that person. That is to say if you build The Gambia but fail >>to >>the people their rights, you have done nothing for them. >>Jammeh said "people are in Gambia and nothing has happened to them because >>they have done nothing wrong.
