UDP RALLY AT SERRE KUNDA
What did the police superintendent tell Femi Peters?
Up to 700 people assembled to witness the rally of the The United Democratic Party (UDP), on Saturday 25 October, 2009, held at Ebony, Serre Kunda Central. Just before Mr Darboe took the podium to speak Superintendent Jawo did approach Femi Peters for a discussion and then left. It is not clear what he told Mr. Peters. It is also not clear whether the security personnel at certain junctions were placed there in connection with the departure of the President to Qatar. We are still investigating to know the facts. The meeting did go on without interruption.
In addressing the rally, Ousainou Darboe the leader of the party, told the gathering that the days when the party will fail to hold a rally simply because they are not given a permit by the police is gone. Mr Darboe stressed that whether permit is granted or not, the UDP will hold their rallies accordingly because it is their constitutional right and they will not allow anybody to violate it, be it the police, the army or any state agent. He argued that the UDP has been applying for permits which the Inspector General of Police has never honoured. He cited the case of the Minority Leader Hon.Momodou K.Sanneh, Member for Kiang West and the Inspector General of Police. Mr Darboe concluded on this issue by assuring the gathering that on the first Saturday after Tobaski (the Muslim feast of thanks-giving) whether they have a permit or not they will hold a rally.
On the issue of GRTS, Darboe told the gathering that it is being run by the Gambian people’s money but that they are only concerned with covering events at Kanilai. He said quite often one sees the Director General of GRTS Momodou Sanyang sitting beside the president but they were not covering the rally of the UDP even though issues of national interest would be raised. He assured the gathering that he will take the matter up with the Director of GRTS.
On the issue of Agriculture, Darboe told the gathering that Agriculture was said to be the backbone of the country and any president that be, should take it as a duty to develop it but in the case of President Jammeh, he is using it for the interest of his family. He told the gathering that the president has ten (10) farms, managed by soldiers who are paid from the national coffers; he uses the labour of the people and then give them crumbs from the proceeds as charity. Darboe told the gathering that the proper thing for the Government to do is to provide fertilizer and seeds to farmers for them to work on communal farms where they will produce for themselves. He told the gathering that this year, the Government provided fertilizer to the farmers at a time when the farmers do not need it.
On the issue of the youth, Darboe told the gathering that it is unfair to say that youths are lazy or do not want to work. He said if one follows the recruitment in the police or in the army, one would discover that it is the youth who are always there showing interest; that they have to get work. He said the reality is that the opportunity is not there for the youth to get work.
On the issue of the meat shortage, Darboe told the gathering that there is meat shortage in the Gambia because Jammeh has threatened the butchers in this country. He told the gathering that that is the cause of the meat shortage in the country.
On the issue of the flood victims, Darboe told the gathering that Jammeh has given US$700,000 (Equivalent to D18.2million) to the Taiwanese victims while less than D2 million was given to the Gambian victims. He questioned whether that is having concern for one’s own people? He alleged that the president has indicated that the youths who go to Europe through the back way are the once tarnishing the image of his Government. Darboe told the gathering that those tarnishing the image of the Government are the state agents themselves and not the youths.

You Know what Santafara ,you about to make me angry again. Why are you guys so retarded, Starting with Darboe himself , Academic dishonesty is a dangerous thing and that's my very reason for despising the UDP party .My friends if ya'll want me to stop calling ya'll fools and ********s you will stop prostituting uninformed Gambians . First of all I will try to make this short .
They were denied a Permit,they decided to deliberately break the Law and now he is paying for it whether the UDP likes it or not . You fools barely understand the Laws meant to govern you and i personally know all of ya'll and this includes you Santa ,Bokarr Sey the vulture and Banka with the So called STGDP, all of Ya'll are Agenda Driven.
Did you ********s forget what happened in Newyork when the other fools decided to holld a rally against Jammeh ,Hmmm i think they were dispersed and not allowed to hold a rally ,How come none of you ********s went after the City of Newyork .This is America the land of the free yet you unlawful Gambians were so foolish not to realize how the laws work and not only that ,the next day one of the organizers was trying to cross carpet to the APRC.
This is a shame and let me re assure you if Darboe felt that it was unconstitutional and that it tramples with the rights of Femi peters ,He should have taken this issue with the Judiciary prior to all this ,This is just me speaking but personally speaking it questions the competency of Mr Darboe as a solicitor.
You people are really a joke and am glad we have President Jammeh cos i feel sorry for a country being led by politicians with disregard of the very Laws they should all promote.
The UDP is one joke of a party and this i will reemphasize, If they were denied a permit for whatever reason it may be ,there is a way of remedying the situation instead of the worthless cause they are fighting.
In America you have to Have a permit to Assemble for various security reasons and for the record this is not the first time Darboe's carelessness has taken a Life. Just remember that, whether he was innocent or not,this defiant attitude was the cause .
Lets watch and see what their defiance is gonna get them for Santafara ,Bokarr sey ,Banka Manneh and Mr Mbenga are non entities in Gambian Politics. If these so called politico's don't even know the Laws ,what the hell can they tell anyone...........................................Peace |

Moe the underlying issue is fairness; denying competing parties the right to assemble is an old tactic that we are all too familiar with. It is not fair for APRC to assemble when ever it feels like it and deny other Parties.
Are you telling me it is safe to go to APRC rallies but unsafe to go to UDP rallies. Where is your sense of fairness? In the US no one has ever heard of denying decenting voices from assembly, so try something else.
There is no rule of law in the Gambia so if UDP takes the issue up with the Kangaroo court it will be fruitless, don’t you think people know that the system is there to protect APRC’s interest. Trust me you are not fooling anyone.
If we go by your logic to follow the law all the time then South Africa will still be under apartheid. If Nelson Mandela and the other freedom fighters just followed the law that was there to protect the status quo how would things have changed?
The bigger issue is the fact that APRC does whatever it likes without regard to the constitution, but you have the audacity to tell others to follow the law. Who is the prostitute?
When the president dismissed the speaker without going through the national assemble I did not hear you say anything about him following the law.
The only way to deal with a dictator is defiance; when Gambians get sick and tired of APRC they will surely rise to stand up for their rights and it is beginning to happen.
Gone are the days when you spin and insult people here at the Bantaba hommy. I did not go to an Ivy League school like you but the Fort Benning School for Boys is no match for you.

Well I don't know if I should do the moon walk or just "Bugarabu",Trying to compare Gambia and South Africa is so far fetched I will leave that to you to compare.
Fort Benning huh!! anyways what pissed you off the Part about Darboe or is the facts I stated . I am no spinner I state facts and leave you trying to figure out what your bearings are, Being called the foul mouth brother is an excuse for your over active imaginations.
Please don't tell me just because you have a Malcolm X avatar ya'll Freedom fighters.Just a bit of American history here ,There is a reason Martin Luther King ir revered In America and it's as if Malcom X never was ,should I tell you about Ghandi also or just call it it Quits. and we can all rely on "BY ANY MEANS NECCESSARY"..................................Peace |

I am not pissed off Bro; it is unfair and undemocratic to repeatedly deny UDP the right to assemble. You have failed to answer my question.
Are APRC rallies safer to attend? Why is the APRC machinery denying UDP the right to assemble?
This is out right unfair but instead of speaking the truth you has chosen time and time again to beat the bush about following the law.
If the law was abided by the government in the first place; there would not have been a need to assemble without a permit.
The APRC government should follow the law by allowing the opposition the right to assemble then there will not be a need to break the law.

Thats just your opinion ,I think you are the one being untruthful to your self. So basically as long as it is Darboe breaking the law then it is acceptable, as long as it is against the APRC regime.
Am assuming even if darboe was to commit murder as long as it is geared towards the struggle ,that is acceptable and it is the APRC that should obey the law. I think you are a bit confused . Hopefully I answered your question this time around.
If the UDP is always denied permits to assemble and campaign ,how come this is the first time we get to hear about it. Prior to this it was the people who made it a no go area for the oppsosition . The governments role should be to make sure that does not happen ,apart from that ,please tell me when they were denied permits ............................Peace |

I remember Darboe complaining about UDP's beign denied permits by IG about a month or so ago; this is not about UDP but fairness, APRC cannot hold party meetiings and deny other parties be it UDP or not.
No one is talking about commiting murder; UDP wants to exercise its rights to assembly the same rights APRC militants enjoy; hope you get it.
All the beating about the bush will not solve this issue; the underlying issue is a level playing field.

What you are failing to understand is what Darboe was telling you a month ago was his plan to start breaking the Laws due to desperation. Like I said show me the article from a month ago Bro,I bet you it's gonna state he is ready to break the laws.
iF YOU THINK THIS IS THE SOLUTION TO SOLVING THE UNDERLYING ISSUES , well it TANTAMOUNTS TO ACCEPTING TERRORISM AGAINST THE GAMBIAN STATE............................PEACE |

Moe here is the interview;
Freedom Newspaper: We gathered that the police recently denied your party permit to hold political rally in Bakau. What happened?
Ousainou Darboe: Well, we held the rally. We held the rally.
Freedom Newspaper: So you went in defiance?
Ousainou Darboe: We didn’t go in defiance. We went in exercise of our constitutional right. So we didn’t go in defiance.
Freedom Newspaper: Will the UDP condone permit denials from now on?
Ousainou Darboe: We will be sending letters to the police to say that we want to hold meetings in this place. If they grant us permit fine. If they do not, we will go ahead and hold our meetings. It is as simple as that.

You really don't get it Terangba ,what am saying you are ignoring, like I said all you gonna post is the plan to break the laws . If Darboe is denied a permit for what ever reason it may be ,Do you think his defiance is the right cause of action. In all essence what am saying is this, did Darboe exploit all the resources to remedy the situation or like all of ya'll the rules only apply when you deem it fit. I don't see Darboe saying that comes 2011 if there is no new voters registry he will storm the IEC or boycott the elections . As a solicitor what Darboe needs to be doing he is either clueless about and banking on like i said Chaos. The Last breath of a dying political party will take its last Gasp of air hoping to LIVE. After this up coming elections ,whats next for the UDP bro? Note Bakau was as recent as sometime in august and it was already evident the role his Mandinkaship was ready to play then came the North Bank trip "Seattle " to be exact ,land of the mandinmorries ,following the trend yet ,soon it will be Baddibu.........................................Peace |

Thanks Rainbow.
Moe what would you suggest as the most logical course of action? Please do not suggest the legal avenue of approach because you and I know that any judge dare to rule against the wishes of APRC will be shown the exit door.
A judge who decides to rules in favor of allowing UDP to hold rallies will be shown the exit door unconstitutionally; and nothing will come out of it. Since the judges’ livelihood depends on checks from the Government what do you think will happen?
The law of the jungle is what exists in the Gambia; so the only way to deal with such a rule is open defiance. Please do not misconstrue this statement as terrorism.
What APRC is banking on is the Yallah Bahna nature of the Gambian and this is a huge mistake; when people get sick and tired there is no telling what they will do.
What I am trying to tell you for ages is that APRC should not push people to that stage; the unfairness; blatant abuse of the law will get the masses sick and tired one day. When people get to this point that is when they will call and advocate for an armed struggle. This is exactly what happened in other parts of west Africa do not think that it cannot happen in the Gambia.
APRC does what ever it wants without regard to the rule of law but you turn around and expect people to follow the law. You cannot have your cake and eat it.

If you know how easy it is to get arms from Eastern Europe and fly it to any country in West Africa you will heed to all these warning signs and call for APRC to rule with caution. The surest path to lasting stability is democracy, an independent judiciary; fair play and adhering to the rule of law.

I dont have to wait for some Non Entity sittiing in their living room in North Bank telling me whats going on in Gambia , How can a bunch of Samba cathy Harr know whats going on Bro,Try some reliable sources and we can talk. You are sitting here telling me "No it's not gonna work ,Kangaroo court this ,Kangaroo court that , Your Man Darboe believes otherwise ,right now he is challenging the constitutionality of the said Law . Obviously the same court system you despise and lack trust in he is utilizing ,Who is the JOke Terangba or are you more informed than Darboe himself?...................................................Peace |
