Democracy & Freedom of Expression
http://thepoint.gm/africa/gambia/article/democracy-is-impossible-without-freedom-of-expression-veteran-us-journalist
This is a great gesture from the US embassy in Banjul.
I was just wondering how can they relate to Jammeh if they continue to organize things of this nature -maybe a personal non-grata is limping in the wilderness for someone out there soon.
Please read and share with others....
Thanks,
Yero

Eduardo Cue:
“Democracy is impossible without liberty of expression,
dictatorship is impossible with freedom of expression. This, he said, is because dictatorship simply cannot operate with freedom of expression. “It simply cannot happen for reasons that are quite obvious and it is impossible to speak of democracy without talking about freedom of speech,” he stated.
“The fundamental problem is that in any system including established democratic systems, those who are in power and those who hold economic, political and social powers are those we call the elite. We think they know better and they think that they are keys to the truth; they think that doing it in their ways is the way to move forward,” [/i]

"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.

Toubab & Mbay:
Good to see your lines on this. I enjoyed reading through his thoughts. I look forward to seeing more of such participation. I think it is a step in the right direction. I was just wondering how they can reconcile such, when citizens utter such, you are charged with bogus charges, like the one common: "Giving false info to a public officer."
Good to be another Cue.
Kind Regards,
Yero. |
