MOST TODAY WORLD TYRANTS COME FROM MUSLIM COUNTRIES WHY?

http://dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2011-12-19-on-the-death-of-kim-jong-il

Gambia's president Yahya Jammeh is mentioned in almost most news papers where Dictators are mentioned. Here is a man who want to be remembered as a bad news for all Gambians when he has all the chances to turn the clock around in his favour by allowing free press, releasing all political prisoners and upgrading reforms that would turn international attention towards his move.
It is indeed sad that most of the world's most brutal tyrants unfortunately comes from the Muslim world. What is happening? How can such a noble religion allow itself to be associated with devilist leaders.

Late Saddam Hussain of Iraq
Late Murmar Gaddafi of Libya
Late Omar Bongo of Gabbon
Late Lassana Conteh of Guinea
The Al kalifa royal family of Bahrain
Ahmadinajad of Iran
The Soud Royal Family of the kingdom of Soudi Arabia
Ben Ali of Tunisia
Al Bashir of Sudan
Yahya Jammeh of Gambia
Ali Abdoullah Asaleh of Yemen
Bashar Al Assad of Syria
Ali Odingba Bongo of Gabon
Dadis Camara of Guinea

All these leaders have used force on their own people killing many in the process. How could these happen? A religion built on tolerance to have leaders who are hell bent of staying in power regardless of what the people want is a thing that needs closer look.

ICELAND RECOGNISES A PALESTINIAN STATE.

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Iceland_formally_recognises_Palestinian_state_with_pre-1967_borders

This Thursday, following a vote two weeks ago in the Icelandic parliament, the country's government granted formal recognition to the state of Palestine. The Althingi's move ratifies recognition of Palestine with borders as-before the 1967 Six-Day War.

In the vote taken by the 63 members of parliament, 38 voted for and 13 abstained. In passing the resolution Iceland became the first Western European state to formally recognise the Palestinian state. In late November Cyprus similarly recognised Palestine with 1967 borders.

The move by the Icelandic government comes as European states such as France, Spain, and Ireland have upgraded their countries' Palestinian missions to full embassies recently.

This could be seen as another milestone in the struggle for a palestinian State along side Israel. I belief that is what most of the peoples of the two want rather than bloodshed and kidnapping of each other's militants.

JAMMEH TUGS THREATENED PROMINENT OPPOSITIONS TO EITHER JOIN THEIR OGA OR RISK GETTING KILLED

Join APRC or Risk Killed

Is these what Yahya Jammeh calls what he has done for Gambian people? How can people be threatened to either join the APRC or risk getting killed.

Saturday, December 17, 2011

Soaked to her throat, Lisa Jammeh blankly stared at the two strangers standing in front of her.
The two men she could not identify knocked at her door at late night hours of ten on Dec. 4 and asked about the whereabouts of her husband.
“When I told them my husband traveled to his native village in Kiang, they asked me to warn him to either stay away from politics or join ruling APRC else he will face a bitter consequence,” terrified Lisa Jammeh told The Daily News.
Her husband, Mr Fakebba Kolley is the campaign manager for main opposition United Democratic Party (UDP)in the Kiang West constituency.
An opposition stronghold that voted in one of the five opposition sponsored parliamentarians in Gambian National Assembly, provincial-Kiang West was the only constituency where Gambian president Yahya Jammeh had lost in 2006 polls.
But in the just concluded presidential election in which Jammeh re-emerged winner for a fourth term, Kiang West fell into the hands of the ruling APRC party, though the opposition has rejected the election results.
In spite of the electoral commission declared landslide victory to the ruling military-junta-turned-civilian APRC party, yet opposition supporters are receiving threats ahead the National Assembly elections due in March 2012.
Lisa’s husband, Mr Kolley, who doubles as the national youth secretary general of UDP claims to be a victim.
“My wife conveyed the threatening message to me when I was in Kiang, but I could not return right away because I was engaged,” Mr Kolley, who walked into the offices of
The Daily News said.
“On Monday December 7, I went to the mosque to say my early morning prayers and when I came back I found a letter addressed to me dropped at my compound gate,” he said.
The letter, a copy of which he has shown to this paper bears no signatory. Its content is threatening, but Mr Kolley insisted that he doesn’t feel threatened.
“I received a similar threat after the 2006 presidential election,” he said. “My daughter too was threatened and she fled the country after the 2006 polls. I last heard from her when she was in Sweden some two years ago.”
Fakebba’s daughter, Fatou Kolley is 26 years of age this year. And in the recent threatening letter, Kolley has been warned not to participate in the upcoming National Assembly election for his own safety and that of his family.
“You are even lucky that APRC won in Kiang West this year because (sic) your compound would have been bornt (sic) down,” reads the letter written in a bad english.
Similar life threatening messages were received by Mr Foday Gassama, a UDP sponsored candidate in Brikama Nyambia ward.
“Foday Gassama, you better learn from Kanyiba Kanyi because as UDP cordinator,(sic) you have no reason to oppose APRC,” reads a message sent to the him in his cell phone.
The yet-to-be identified sender using a cell phone number 7415158, warns him not to participate in the upcoming parliamentary election.
“If you ignore these advise, then your life is in danger,” the message reads further.
Like Fakebba Kolley, such life threatening message is not new to Mr Gassama though he is concerned.
“I received a similar message in 2010, on the vary day former Libyan leader Ghadafi, who was being hosted by president Jammeh was having a meeting with the country’s youths at the independence stadium,” he remembers.
Mr Shyngle Nyassi, the UDP chief propagandist is not spared. “Some unidentified callers have been calling me with a restricted number threatening on my life.
“My son, who was the agent of the party in Kanilai, the birth village of President Jammeh also received similar threats.
“No amount of threat can make me retreat,” the firebrand politician said, though when it comes to his family he is concerned. “I am concern about the live of my son and my family,” he said.
Meanwhile, The Daily News understands that Mr Colley and Gassama have both reported their matter to the police.
Fakebba, who resides in Nema Kunku village in Kombo North districts is having his residential area patrolled at night by some policemen ever since he reported the matter, this paper gathered.
Similarly, Mr Gassama has reported his case at the Brikama police station and was issued a reference number: D/Ref/Number/ 88/9/11. The phone number was called, but could not be reached. However, Mr Nyassi said he is yet to lodge complaint at the police because he could not still trace the callers.

Editor’s Note

We reproduced the letters below and deliberately refused to edit it to expose the level of those behind this clandestine, but familiar act towards opposition supporters in The Gambia.

Letter to Colley reads:

Dear Mr Colley

It is unfortunate that We Went (sic) to your compound to advice (sic) you but we were told that you went to Kiang. We have talked to your wife to advice (sic) you to keep away from poltic (they wanted to write politics) because you have no reason to oppose A.p.R.C.
We also understand that you work hand in hand with Mr Single Nyassi of Brikama Who (sic) is and enemy to A.P.R.C.
Mr Colley We Want (sic) you to be very careful and stop opposing A.P.R.C. We understand your political activities both in Kiang and Kombo here is too much. We are therefore advicing (sic) you to stop opposing the Government else you will face a serious consequence.
You are even lucky that A.P.R.C Won in Kiang West this year because your compound would have been bornt (sic: wrong spelling) down. We are advicing (sic) you not to participate in the coming National Assembly Election.
This may be risky at your side. This is our advice to you and we hope you will take it. It is better for you to keep away politics in the interest of your family before you loose your compound or separate from your family. Please be careful or join the ruling party for your own security. We are watching own you to see if you will take our advice.
Thank you

And the message to Gassama reads:

Foday Gassama, you better learn from Kanyiba Kanyi [disappeared under mysterious circumstances since 2006] because as UDP cordinator you have no reason to oppose APRC. Now is left to you to decide either not to participate for the coming National Assembly election (…). If you ignore these advise, then your life is in danger.

How can these things happen yet president Jammeh pretends everything is ok? Something must be seriously wrong.

Gambia's Yahya Jammeh ready to rule for million years

President Yahya Jammeh has told the BBC that he will rule for "one billion years", if God wills.

He said critics who accused him of winning last month's elections through intimidation and fraud could "go to hell".

The West African regional body Ecowas said the electorate had been "cowed by repression".

Mr Jammeh, who took power in a coup in 1994, was re-elected with 72% of the figures, official figures show.

The 46 year old said he did not fear a fate similar to Egypt's ousted President Hosni Mubarak or killed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

"My fate is in the hands of almighty Allah," he told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.

Journalist's death
"I will deliver to the Gambian people and if I have to rule this for one billion years, I will, if Allah says so."

The November poll was the fourth since Mr Jammeh overthrew 's first post-independence leader Dawda Jawara aged just 29.

I will not bow down before anybody, except the almighty Allah and if they [human rights groups] don't like that can go to hell”

Yahya Jammeh
The Gambia's president
Opposition candidates Ousainou Darboe and Hamat Bah took 17% and 11% respectively.

Mr Darboe called the results "bogus, fraudulent and preposterous".

The Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) refused to send observers, saying the polls would not be free and fair because voters and the opposition had been "cowed by repression and intimidation".

The media group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) says there is "absolute intolerance of any form of criticism" in The Gambia, with death threats, surveillance and arbitrary night-time arrests the daily lot of journalists "who do not sing the government's praises".

In 2004, the editor of the privately owned The Point newspaper, Deyda Hydara, was gunned down, but no-one has been charged over his murder.

In the BBC interview, Mr Jammeh denied that the government's security agents had killed him.


President Yahya Jammeh Overthrew The Gambia's first president as a 29-year-old army lieutenant in 1994.Previously won three widely criticised elections
Accused of not tolerating opposition or independent journalists
Claimed in 2007 that he could cure Aids with a herbal concoction
Warned in 2008 that gay people would be beheaded
Eight men sentenced to death last year after being accused of plotting to overthrow him
When asked about Dayda Hydara's death, he said.

"Listen to me: Is he the only Gambian who died? Is he better than Gambians who die in accidents, Gambians who die at sea, Gambians who die on their way to Europe?" Mr Jammeh asked.

"Other people have also died in this country. So why is Deyda Hydara so special?"

Mr Jammeh said he was not bothered by the criticism of human rights groups.

"I will not bow down before anybody, except the almighty Allah and if they don't like that they can go to hell," he said.

In 2007, Mr Jammeh caused controversy by claiming that he could cure Aids with a herbal concoction.

Later, he also claimed that he could cure infertility among women.

Medical groups denounced him for making such claims.

The tiny West African state is a popular tourist destination.
