…THAT ALL MAY LIVE IN UINTY, FREEDOM AND PEACE EACH DAY…
Freedom may be missing in our lives under Junkung, but we have to fight for it. Thats exactly what Reverend Martin and Brother Malcolm did.
Peace is the condition required for education, and the arts, and the formation of human relationships. It is when music can be made, crops sown and gathered, houses and monuments built. Peace gives a society time for reflection, which is where most good things have their start. This is how one writer put it.
DO WE NEED ANOTHER MILITARY JUNTA!!
Like black Americans will say: “Hell No!!”. I did not believe in the foiled coup in the beginning, but my inner nature told me that something really did happen. Now my doubts are no more, I am hereby condemning the acts of those soldiers who wanted to take us back to July 22 1994.
I was reading the allgambianet website and I read that the soldiers arrested are some of the most educated people in the army and have lots of experience in peace keeping in other countries. I laughed my head off. Are those people really educated? Not at all. There is a very thick line between being literate and being educated. If those people are educated, they would have learnt a lot from their experiences in the war thorn countries where they have been trying to keep the peace.
The Gambian army is one of the most undisciplined armies in the whole world. Is this not the army that takes the law into their own hands and brutalize their own brothers and sisters whose tax money buys their uniforms and puts food on their tables? Is this not the army we have seen involved in politics translating into the shooting of innocent civilians? Is this the army to buy me my freedom? Only on a cold day in hell.
Did they not know that a democratic election is right round the corner where decent Gambians will be going to the polls to cast their votes to oust the least popular candidate? Why then did they want to derail that democratic process. Didn’t they know that we have legitimately elected Junking (even though he might be a monster)? Didn’t they know that their action is a treason, and in fact could spark some ugly events in our country? We don’t want others to come keep the peace in our country, we have been and still want to breed peace in our Gambia.
What I hope and pray is that Junkung will come to his senses in dealing with these people. I hope he does not over react by persecuting law abiding civilians only for knowing these coup plotters.
Brothers, its hard to unravel what goes on in the mind of a sick African soldier. They are all deceitful. Can’t we remember Junkung’s words when he came to power and what he became once he got what he wanted? Can’t we see the Gambia is bleeding? Shame on those soldiers who want to hammer the last nail in our coffin.
..LET JUSTICE GUIDE OUR ACTIONS, TOWARDS THE COMMON GOOD…
…KEEP US GREAT GOD OF NATIONS, TO THE GAMBIA EVER TRUE.
