Karim, why should Yahya a devout Muslim who goes for Umrah and Hajj every year kill human being for Gambians?
Now let us analyse why should one sacrifice his immidiate life for the hereafter. Does it make sense that, people say they kill others for the betterment of a country?
Yahya like all other leaders need to know, when they are quitely sitting on the loo, thinking about their worries, at that point in time, their simpleton humanity manifest.
The names and title hardly matter, what is a much bigger lesson than that? Constipation alone can send people over the edge, let alone other severe illnesses.
The seat of power is too temporal for yahya to waste his whole hereafter, that is if he is bothered by the whole NARRATIVES.
According to scholars, taking human life is a sin which cannot be forgiven. Some say, it can be provided the person murdered agree to forgive, but what assurance is there that, in the herefater, people will forgive you?
Yahya has rule our country for over fifteen years, one would expect that, he is in command of his words and actions, but i guess, as the saying goes, there are many kind of madness.

Gambia: Outrageous statements by President Yahya Jammeh


Amnesty International deplores the statements made by President Yahya Jammeh on Monday 21 September on national television, in which he reportedly stated that he would kill anyone who wants to destabilize the country.

President Yahya Jammeh also specifically threatened human rights defenders, and those working with them, by emphasizing that their security and personal safety would not be guaranteed by the government of Gambia.  

Amnesty International calls on President Yahya Jammeh to immediately retract these statements made on Monday 21 September and to affirm The Gambia government’s commitment to respect, protect and promote human rights in line with its constitution and obligations under international law.

Amnesty International also calls on the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Jean Ping, and the Executive Secretary of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Mohammed Ibn Chambas, to condemn the statements made by President Yahya Jammeh in the strongest possible terms.

Background:
In November 2008 Amnesty International released the report Gambia: Fear Rules (AFR 27/003/2008). The report illustrates how human rights violations in Gambia are perpetrated by the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), army and police against real and perceived opponents of the government on a routine basis. It demonstrates that once people are in the custody of the government, they are susceptible to a whole range of human rights violations including unlawful detention, torture while in detention, unfair trials, enforced disappearance and extrajudicial executions. On 22 July 2009, Amnesty International, along with civil society groups across Africa, organized a day of action to protest continuing human rights violations in The Gambia, including repression of the media.
