Gambia’s Not So Sunny

Friday, 08 July 2011 15:23

Gambia_Rule_of_fear_newThe Campaign for Human Rights in the Gambia will hold an information stall in Buchanan Street, Glasgow on Sunday 17 July from 2pm. This is an advance of a UK day of action on Friday 22 July in London when campaigners will lobby the Nigerian High Commission. Nigeria currently Chairs the influential Economic Community of West African States. It also provides many of the hired judges who make decisions in the Gambian courts.Gambia_Rule_of_fear_new
In recent years, claims that enforced disappearances, torture and extra judicial executions are taking place in the West African country, have increased. Amnesty International reported in 2008 that Gambia was ruled by Fear.
President Yahya Jammeh who came to power in a bloodless coup in 1994, will not campaign for his own re-election in November because he is so confident of winning, say local commentators. In a recent six-week voter registration exercise, 869,600 people signed up to ensure they will receive a vote. The country has a population of 1.7 million of whom more than a quarter are under voting age.

Everybody has to be giving his/her GOD, giving rights, even those whom we are asking our rights from, as to be giving their shared human rights. A human rights advocate should be consistence and also be ethical, he should not be bias under any circumstances, be it an indivual or a leader or a political party or a group or a nation. everybody must be giving the rights he deserved as a human being, who is equally created. keep on fighting for a noble course a human rights, DO NOT TAKE THE ADVANTAGE AGAINST ANYBODY, THREAT EVERYBODY FAIRLY WITHOUT FAVORS. your course should start from your selves, your cummunities, the very country under which you are resides, before you export it to the rest of the world, fight for those fellow African immigrants living in UK being a citizen of commonwealth. MAY ALLAH HELP THOSE WHO HELP OTHERS.

All human right organisations should keep pressure on the Gambia government to stop the human right abuses in the Gambia.Gambians,the beautiful and peace loving people are hijack in their own country,maltrea t and extra judicial killings plus a large number of intellectuals exiled or prisoned as in the case of DR AMADOU SCATTRED JANNEH who just express what the whole nation is crying about DICTATORSHIP in Gambia.Tourists,trade organisations and governments should isolate this government until they stop the rule of fear in Gambia.
