If At All Is Not A Script Of A Drama!!! Part1
I personally have been kindly following the unfortunate ordeal of one of the most popular TV presenters of the Gambia, in the person of Fatou Camara. Even though we may never see eye to eye on issues facing our people back then but like many patriotic citizens of our motherland, I was having sleepless nights as I was gripped with the fear of her been abused, jailed and possibly killed like many countless innocent victims of the Jammeh administration.
Glad I really was, upon receiving the confirmation that she escaped unharmed and was already in safe hands in the neighbouring country,Senegal. More so, when I heard that she finally reunited with her boys in the US and that, she distanced herself with her previous remarks during an interview with one of the Senegalese newspapers in which, she came across as someone still loyal to the Jammeh Administration.
In her words, Fatou Camara firmly dismissed her previous statement by blaming the Google translator for been responsible of misquoting and misinterpreting her exact choice of words thus make it in vain as she further asserted that it defy logic which is understandable and excusable.
However, I was waiting and still waiting to hear Fatou Camara’s side of the full story as nothing she seems to have already uttered make sense to me yet because everything she is saying now was a well known fact to all and sundry. The very words, sentences, catch phrases we having been using for years, seems to be the very script that she is using at this hour as well.
So far, nothing new and nothing of the unknown that we all know that she knows, is yet to be revealed in all her interviews and write ups on her FB even though, she was the press secretary to the President for goodness shake. I wish to be accorded with the opportunity to put my personal questions directly to Fatou Camara but clearly, Gambian on-line media houses are the least on her agenda as of now thus frustrate me more to the point that I thought to openly write so that she may respond to my questions if she so desire.
Fatou Camara, please hear me out and all those who may tend to jump before the gun so for the purpose of clarity, I will first assured you and all your devoted followers that I have nothing against you fatou and I guess you do still remember my honest advice I once extended to you on Facebook in 2011, free of charge. If your memory serves you well, you must remember me, urging you to distance yourself from the dying regime and not allow yourself to be used and abused for they have nothing good to offer other than brutality.
Remember that, in In your response, you never mentioned me by name but you only stated that Mr X..Your advice is well noted but to my dismay, three weeks later or so, you went back to the Gambia and you were appointed press Secretary to the President and since then fatou, I reversed my thoughts and opinion on you as a citizen hence it is your constitutional rights to do as you please and deem fit.
Now that you are safe and secure in the US and feeling more relaxed and comfortable enough to tell the world all about your ordeal, will you be kind enough to face us all in the struggle so that we can clear the air? I can understand that you may have been advised to stay from the Gambian media’s for now but I believe it was an error of judgement hence you are now part of us in the struggle. Aren’t we? The fact that you couldn’t help it but go out to talk to other international media outlets, so it should have been for us as well in the spirit of fairness. Don’t you think so?
Many, including myself do seriously have doubts but still giving you the benefit of the doubt even though we are fully alerted of the sting operation that your ex-boss or daddy is currently embarking on to get us all killed one after the other by using our very owned people to execute his evil desires. But the question for you Jammeh is, do you seriously think that we are that stupid to fall for your premature plans you betting on? Gambians, didn’t he openly said and swore that he will get us all and that we will not know how he’ll make it happen nor will he disclose his plans against us? Best you know that we are right awake and by the grace of the Almighty, your madness and wickedness will soon be history.
Although I am cautiously sitting on the fence and wishing you well but to be honest with you, I rather you come out in the open and tell us and the rest of the world all that you know and witnessed because you are yet to tell us the deepest secrets you still concealing for reasons best known to you alone and the way your sad but happy ending story unfolded and that of your close friend “Fatou Touray” who also find herself here in the UK even though her husband is in France thus raise eye browse.
Frankly speaking fatou, In my own humble opinion and observation, Is like watching a very well calculated plan but poorly executed by the monster to unleash you and friend to the diaspora to infiltrate and possibly eliminate the gullible ones but at the same time, it could be real given the drama of the entire story but how can you assure us that is all not a script of a drama?
I guess you already should know that we as Gambians and the at large still need you to answer more questions than you so far have answered. Like baye Lowe, we expected serious revelations based on what he knows and witnessed and so he did beyond our wildest dreams and imaginations. Like Imam Baba Leigh, all that they did to him during his unlawful abduction was relayed to humanity and like my late father, he told the world of his 19 years of torture, unlawful arrests and abductions so please do the same as expected of you, if at all is not a script. Honesty is the of all policies and only the truth will set us all free at last.
Fatou Camara, please tell the world all about the endless and systematic abuse that our women, including young teenagers are been subjected to over the years to date, in Kanilia. As the former press secretary, Please say nothing that which the world already know not about and do please consider telling us the unknown that we Gambians know that you know, for it will be much better and useful than feeding and massaging your ex boss by carefully choosing your words as if you are still expecting to reconcile with him in the very near future. Is it all kept for your book? Why hahaha Gambians, fatou? I can freely offer you a much better title if you want me to still but certainly not hahahaha Gambians. Sister, exposure is the name of the game we play here in our collective-struggle against tyranny so I expect nothing less, if not more from one like you!
In consistently doing so, you may win me over based on the level of your honesty in relaying the truth to world as expected of you, if in deed you are truly and genuinely the luckiest of all Jammeh’s victims but until then, I say to all, peace be upon us. Just my thoughts based on the remorse, he say, she say, reasoning, spiritual guidance and self-enlightenment. Please be the judge for I put mine on paper for all to further reason with their own selves. Stay vigilant, calm, focus and be blessed.
In the service of Humanity
