The price for giving up Responsibility for Oneself and community

Banjul,The Gambia Journal

 

This sentence of Fatou jaw Manneh is outrageous and calls upon all of us to rethink our attitude to kinsmen and

our commnunity. Other wise we shall all become a silent victims of a cancer draining our fabric as humans and

entity.

Gambia is going through a serious transition where we all should think about the strategic direction those at the

Helm of the state want to take us and where as responsible people want to see ourselves. This sentencing seem to want to achieve among other things: set example to those who dare, rob the intellectual fabrik and instill fear in families of those potential thoughtful minds.

I have read some of Ms Manneh artikels and i find them thoughful and warning not only to the ruling clichè but also to Gambians in general to be mindful of ourselves and resist disowning ourselves in or to any situation or entity but to be our own and stand up for our rights

 Banjul,The Gambia Journal


The Gambia Press Union – USA branch condemns in the strongest possible terms the
conviction and sentencing of US based - Gambian Journalist Fatou Jaw Manneh by the
Gambian authorities. Fatou, current deputy Secretary General of GPU-USA, was
arrested at Banjul airport on March 28, 2007 and falsely charged with sedition,
publication of false materials by the Jammeh regime. For a period of over one year,
she was unjustly paraded from one court to another with each court claiming to have
no jurisdiction over the case.  Eventually she was brought back to Magistrate Buba
Jawo of the Kanifing Magistrates court who had initially dismissed the case base on
a supposed lack of jurisdiction
