By a Gambian Security Officer
The former president Yahya Jammeh who oppressed our Gambians for decades was also able to held us hostage for over 42 hours while looting and dismantling important state secrets even when ECOMIG troops were on standby.
Jammeh should have been arrested, period. But our self proclaimed Generals showcased double standards when set to go against their opponents. We’ve concrete evidence during and after the whole commotion masterminded by Jammeh. Reality is, our military failed us in that situation.
The president was sworn in to office at The Gambia’s Embassy in Senegal at 16:00 GMT. By then the intervention troops were already set to carryout a command from President Barrow who is the new commander in chief of The Gambia Armed Forces.
Soldiers of The Gambia Armed Forces were scared of both Jammeh and the foreign troops. Jammeh on the other hand was also scared specially by the display of the Nigerian Air Force. However, he managed to go scot-free right under the eyes of the intervention forces. So ECOWAS also failed us in my opinion.
Just recently, the former Interior Minister M.A BAH who is worse than Ousman Sonko has promoted and reinstated himself back into the Army and is now heading the finance unit of The Gambia Armed Forces.
MA. BAH was going round to all security apparatus telling members of the security forces that there will be no inauguration for Barrow and that he will supply arms to security officers to shot whoever dare goes to attend the inauguration of President Barrow. He was also on the verge of organizing a palace coup to subvert the will of the Gambian people, he is now maneuvering within us and even has the guts to speak out and attends events all in the name of freedom.
M.A. Bah together with Isatou Njie Saidy, Fatou Lamin Faye, and the rest are people who have committed felonies and conspiracies in one way or the other.
The so called joint transition team, tasked with handing over to The Barrow Administration is actually unlawful. The sixty days to do that has elapsed and also ministers in the new government have already occupied their offices.
Suspects are supposed to at least be undergoing interrogations but no, all we hear is that ‘in Gambia we are one people’. Anyway, we must be ready to be face reality and let everybody dance to the tune they played. Justice should not be confused or exchanged with or for anything. If we failed in bringing Jammeh and all other perpetrators to justice, I am afraid Jammeh’s one billion year rule will still be a threat.
Now was this a ‘a little problem’ as stated by former vice president, Isatou Njie Saidy?
