PRESS RELEASE
Monday, April 2, 2007
The Save the Gambia Democracy Project (STGDP) profoundly condemns, the strongest terms, the confirmed abduction and detention of one of our executive members Ms. Fatou Jaw Manneh by the Gambian security forces.
STGDP has confirmed that Ms. Manneh was abducted by security personnel at the Banjul international airport on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 and is currently held at the National Intelligence Agency headquarters in Banjul.
We wish to extend to Ms. Manneh’s family, the people of Gambia, and the entire international community, our heartfelt support and intent to do everything we possibly can to ensure that Fatou’s fundamental rights and privileges under the law are not further trampled upon with impunity. We intend to ensure the maximum exposure of the brutality, blatant disregard of the fundamental rights of individuals, abrupt kidnappings, and disappearances perpetuated by the APRC government to the international community.
Ms. Fatou Jaw Manneh a Journalist by training, and had consistently challenged the APRC government’s abuse and negligence of the fundamental human rights of all Gambians. She is continuously relentless in her work to ensure the nurture of human rights and democracy in The Gambia.
We herein appeal to all Gambians, in and out of the country, all Gambian organizations around the world, journalists and other press groups, and all believers in democratic jurisprudence to join us in harnessing all resources in order to maximally expose the tyranny that is in the APRC government, and to demand for the immediate release of Fatou Jaw Manneh. Join us in sternly warning the security forces that Fatou’s well-being must not be compromised in any way, and under any circumstances.
We hereby put President Jammeh and his security apparatus on notice that we take their threat to the human rights of Gambians in and out of the country very seriously. We also hereby reiterate our commitment to continue to be resolved in taking all actions necessary to ensure President Jammeh and his junta are held accountable for any and all actions that violate the civil and fundamental human rights of individuals and all illegal activities of the security forces or other
agents of the regime. WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED.
Signed
Save The Gambia Democracy Project.

Thanks for the press release. However its my opinion that your TOP PRIORITY FOR ANOTHER PRESS REALESE CONSIDERED A BE-LATED PRESS RELEASE (AFTERMATH OF ELECTIONS) should be ON RECTIFICATIONS AND MOBILISATION OF ALL GENUINE OPPOSITION PARTIES FOR ANOTHER TYPE OF STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AND MEND THE FAILURES OF NAAD.
Good luck! |

I challenged SAVE THE GAMBIA DEMOCRACY PROJECT (STGDP) and brains for establishment of NAAD as a STRATEGIC ALLIANCE FOR ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES towards A COMMON GOAL i.e. DISLODGMENT OF APRC AND OVERHAUL OF JAMMEH'S REGIME. There has been failures and NADD is still disintegrating and became weaker.
The STGDP knew how catastrophic and explosive if there are no good contenders and effective oppositive parties within Gambian democracy and its limitations. Is NADD the future for an effective strategic alliance? Are there any other alternative towards another strategic alliance? How can STGDP sanction all opposition parties and protocol on their UNITY FOR A COMMON GOOD?
Please STGDP make a statement on my questions and issue a press release about mending the OPPOSITION PARTIES?
