Madi Jobarteh has insisted the April 16, 2016 protest galvanized the Gambian masses against fear and sparked the ‘unstoppable’ journey to liberation.
UDP leader Ousainou Darboe along with a raft of UDP top officials took to the streets five years ago today on April 16, 2016 to demand for the release of Solo Sandeng who led a protest two days earlier.
And writing on the event, Madi Jobarteh said: “This was the catalyst moment that galvanized the masses against fear and the unstoppable journey to liberation.
“Future historians and students of politics must review the April 14 and April 16 protests to establish their nexus and the emergence of a national resistance that finally culminated into a coalition.
“These protests gave the background and the impetus that would see the masses of the people rally behind their political leaders determined to end tyranny.
“Bravo to these senior citizens! May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace. The Struggle Continues…”
