Interim APRC leader Fabakary Tombong Jatta has ripped into the EU ambassador to The Gambia calling on the diplomat to stop ‘interfering’ in Gambian politics.
“They [EU] are part of it. When we had the Abuko rally, the theme was the homecoming of Babili Mansa… We heard his comments. Is he a Gambian? What right does he have to interfere in the political issues of The Gambia? Let him mind his business. What he will not do in Europe, he will not do it here,” Mr Jatta, referring to Mr Attila Lajos, told Kerr Fatou on Thursday as thousands of APRC supporters took to the streets to call for the return to the country of former president Yahya Jammeh.
The EU ambassador last year frowned at APRC top figures over comments they directed at female witnesses of the TRRC during a rally held in Abuko.
The diplomat argued the comments were abhorrent and could hamper the country’s efforts to reverse the abusive legacy of the past and eliminate climate of fear.
