Everyone should endeavor to get hold of a copy. The book >> gives a clear picture of Jammeh’s tyranny and serves as a clear >> testimony >> to Jammeh’s paranoia and arrogance. It documents not only Baba’s >> experiences, but also such events as the murder of Ousman Koro Ceesay, >> the >> massacre of school children on April 10/11 2000, the closure of Citizen >> FM >> radio, the attempted burning of Radio 1 FM and the murder of Deyda >> Hydara >> on December 16, 2004, among other things. >> >> As I read the book, I did not know whether to cry for my dear country or >> to laugh at the absurdity of the so -called security officers and their >> “we just following orders from above” nonsense. What I however, got from >> it is Baba’s courage and determination not to be cowered and bought by >> Jammeh and his clique. This book will go down as the most vivid >> documentation of Jammeh’s brutality against the press in particular and >> The Gambia in general. It is all very revealing of the workings of the >> NIA >> because it is told by someone who has spent many days and nights >> detained >> behind the walls of their “dracula’s castle” >> >> If you are a Jammeh supporter, reading this book might help open your >> eyes >> to the true colors of the APRC/AFPRC regimes. If you are a Jammeh >> critic, >> this book will help you understand the dictatorial resolve of Jammeh and >> his henchmen to stifle dissenting views and to stay in power by any >> means >> necessary. >> >> To the journalists, there is no better narration of their plight. The >> book’s publication could not have come at a better time when our >> colleagues Fatou Jaw Manneh, Lamin Fatty etc are being paraded through >> the >> kangaroo courts on trumped up charges, and the disappearances of Chief >> Manneh and others. >> >> As is cogently put in the book’s back page description, Mandela’s other >> Children “is a story of heroic resistance, stubborn defiance, and a >> steely >> determination to assert and preserve endangered sovereignties by >> threatened social entities.” This book will provide you with >> incontrovertible facts about Jammeh’s tyranny. >> >> Baba Galleh Jallow was editor-in-chief of the Daily Observer and Founder >> Editor and CEO of the Independent Newspaper. He holds a BA in Political >> Science, a Masters in Liberal Studies and is currently a PhD student in >> History at the University of California, Davis.
