Without doubt Amie Sillah is one of the leading and most dedicated Gambians in the struggle for democracy and human rights and in particular the rights and dignity of girls and women. For many years, Amie has championed the rights of Gambians and women as a journalist and an activist with unshakeable courage and stone determination.
I have known Amie Sillah for the past 20 years as a consistent freedom fighter. We have shared several forums in the fight for human rights, Africa unity and democracy in the Gambia, and in all these engagements she has struck me as a liberated woman of substance and dignity. Her Foroyaa column on women has become a signature feature of the newspaper that has served many individuals to better understand the issues and conditions of women in our society. With this column many have been emboldened to stand up for their rights. Amie is indeed one of leading doyens of women’s rights.
Amie has stood on numerous platforms at home and abroad to defend human rights and good governance in the Gambia and Africa. She has stood in solidarity with the ordinary man and woman in the Gambia, Africa and the world and continues to stand up and speak up for social justice, equality and freedom.
Amie Sillah is the one and only loving wife of another giant of freedom Sam Sarr of PDOIS and Foroyaa newspaper. She is a responsible mother, a determined fighter and a principled activist who understands policy and development inside out. I have no doubts that Amie will be a National Assembly member who shall remain honest and loyal to the supreme interests of the Gambia.
I hereby endorse Amie Sillah for National Assembly Member for Bundungka Kunda under a PDOIS ticket. I can assure voters of Bundungka Kunda constituency that with Amie they can rest assured that she will fulfill her duty to ensure that democracy and good governance prevail in the Gambia. She will ensure that the necessary checks are applied to ensure that the Executive governs and delivers according to the rule of law as specified in our constitution.
Amie has been consistent and constant in her mission for national liberation!
God Bless The Gambia.
