Lovette Jallow the woman helping Gambian women in Lebanon home has reacted to claims she is tarnishing the image of the government.
Lovette had accused the government of shutting its door to her over the issue of the women.
Gambian women in Lebanon on Thursday protested outside the Gambian consulate in Beirut in their desperate push to return home. Some that took part in the protest told The Fatu Network the consul said he had been directed not to speak to Lovette because she was tarnishing the government’s image.
Lovette Jallow in a rejoinder however told The Fatu Network: “This has been ongoing for nine months with no progress. I only joined in a week ago when I was contacted by the women. So I am not the problem am i?
“I stand ready with my bank account to pay for the tickets. I am not asking for anything from the government but their emergency papers.
“To allege that I am tarnishing the government is untrue. I film and record all my conversations so you all can make your own decisions.
“If it was not for Covid I would be in Beirut right now. Instead I keep in touch daily with the women.
“The consulate doesnt want to get in contact with me because I know the real truth behind all this even if I dont speak it out loud. And because I know what many of you dont I want my people out of Lebanon as soon as possible.”
