Alagi Yorro Jallow: Drop All charges Against Madi Jobarteh 

Alagi Yorro Jallow

It seems the lion has learned the art of writing, and the hunter is afraid.

The government of President Adama Barrow and other collaborators have successfully revised history for 22 years, but Gambians are now learning the truth.

Unfortunately, the home guards are intent on using arrests to hide the truth. Free Madi Jobarteh now.

There are these groups of Gambians, on both sides of the divide, who feel that only those who share their views have freedom of expression. Those with opposing views are attacked and bludgeoned into silence.

Unfortunately, on both sides of the divide, these groups coalesce around narrow ethnic ideology. Anyone from the respective ethnic group who does not subscribe to the narrow ethnic ideology is considered a traitor and mole of the perceived opponent tribe.

Madi Jobarteh

We must resist this tendency and plant a national liberal spirit that allows for free expression of different views, no matter how acceptable or unacceptable they may be.

We should seek toleration – accommodating, making allowance for, and fore-bearing with different ideas even when they are different from our ideas and perspectives.

A 3rd generation, notoriously persistent hereditary class, is still touchy about their murky origins, exploiting state power to harass those they cannot intellectually engage. Free Madi Jobarteh unconditionally.

    Yes!
    Drop ALL the bogus charges.
    Two weeks ago our nation was deeply divided in useless discussions on LGBTQ. All manner of intense emotional opinion was expressed by:
    Political opportunist.
    Fake Imams.
    Crooks and Fools.
    ALL of them very emotionally invested in the topic of sexual orientation for no other reason than personal internal conflicts. Most experts agree that Men who express overly strong malignant disdain for homosexual men publicly, are themselves GAY in the closet. But that aside.
    Today we have a WAR declared by the government against FREEDOM and I don’t see any of the same so called leaders speak with same vitriol against the false arrest and kidnapping of Madi Jobarteh.
    Here is a battle for the soul of our republic, instead of fighting, they hide under their wives beds. They say nothing and do nothing. Cowards.
    Disgraceful!
    I encourage you, Madi Jobarteh. A brave soldier to never give up, and never give in to tyranny. Fight for you and fight for us.
    It’s time to set up a #Legal Defense Fund for Madi. £1M.
    God Save The Gambia from Evil Men and Women.
