On 30 December 2014, some members of the Gambian opposition and dissidents in the Diasporas took arms with the aims of liberating and emancipating their people in the Gambia from the 20 years tyranny of Dictator Yahya Jammeh. Their efforts were thwarted by the brutal soldiers of Dictator Yahya Jammeh, resulting in the martyrdom of many of them.
The Gambia’s Dictator, Yahya Jammeh had since responded by arbitrary arrests, detentions, tortures and summary executions of some of their co-conspirators, their innocent family members and friends in the Gambia. This, in the words of the Gambian dictator, is setting examples, despite the fact that many of those arrested and victimised are innocent and played no part neither did they have any knowledge of the actions of the men behind the 30 December 2014 foiled attempts.
In light of these barbarisms of the Gambian Dictator, Protest Gambia Movement, Democratic Union of Gambian Activists (DUGA) and other Gambian civil society groupings are organising massive demonstrations in The Gambia, United Kingdom, Senegal and USA to express their outrage and condemnation of the barbaric acts of villainy of the Gambian Dictator, Yahya Jammeh and his government.
