FROM NEW GAMBIA TO A PROTEST NATION

The Gambia has became a nation of protest and lawlessness has eventually gripped the citizenry .The Gambia could have being the darling of all the nations after the December 1st presidential election in 2016 if proper and efficient measures were put in place for the proper implementation of services across the political spectrum, but hypocrites ,tribal bigots and selfish politicians and uninformed youths hijacked all that hopes and aspirations of the Gambian people in to their own selfish interest turning the country in to a nation of protest .protest open protest as if there is no formal and judicial way to seek redress.

However, selfish politicians and interest groups could not stop in dividing the nation but also used innocent youths to destabilize the country and cause these same youths ,as the aftermath of every protest the victims are the youths . The endless protest in the Gambia is a concern. Before we plunge this country in to an ungovernable land . there is a need for a national dialogue in the interest of the Gambia and everybody should be an ambassador of peace. Our young democracy should not be taken as an advantage to advocate the unthinkable and promote divisive politics across the political spectrum.

I am saddened and bewildered anytime I tune in to certain radio stations with their so-called “wax sahalat” were callers and commentators are chosen to give their versions on a local analysis which to me and many reasonable minds is the Genesis of our division as people. A step needs to be taking to address the matter of bais radio presentations.

It is the Gambia that we have ,and no one will come here and developed this land for us and so ,God forbid, if there is war here, we will all surfer the same.it is our collective responsibility to work in unison and in a harmonized manner to move this country to the apex of development.

The Gambia government most understand that, it is the responsibility of the government to provide citizens with the basic needs and stop the unnecessary talks on bamboozling citizens anytime they are on platform.

The safety and security of this country should not be compromised in the name of democracy by certain interest groups. I expected youths to take up the streets and protest for the low salaries of civil servants, the consistent power and water shortages, the perpetual corruption by some government officials, the continuous rise of prices of goods and services etc but not to be protesting and endangering their lives for politicians .

We should protest for better services but not for political gains.

I ,Ebrima D York will only take to the streets if youths are ready to take officials accountable in providing better services.

Nation of protest, where is our new Gambia? To be cont…….
