Statement on the assault of Fatou Camara, Ousainou Mbenga, Sam Phatey and Coach Pa-Samba Jow

The assault on Fatou Camara, Ousainou Mbenga, Sam Phatey and Coach Pa-Samba Jow by some members of Jammeh's security detail must be roundly condemned by freedom-loving Gambians and non-Gambians alike.

All of those assaulted where engaged in a two-day protest against what is generally agreed to be a dictatorship in The Gambia that must be replaced.

Unlike the Gambia under Yaya Jammeh, the United States Constitution guarantees the fundamental rights of humans to associate and assemble, and provides several means for THE PEOPLE to express their views in a peaceful and orderly manner.

After 20 years of brutal and corrupt dictatorship, we asked all like-minded people everywhere join DUGA, CORDEG, GDAG, CCG, GGC and all other Gambian groups in their fight against the regime in Banjul so as to re-establish the democratic credentials of The Gambia of twenty years ago.

Meanwhile, join us, sidisanneh.blogspot.com, in our immediate and urgent efforts to ensure that those responsible for the assault on the protesters are brought to justice.
