Nothing will happen to Jammeh! The worse that can happen is sanctions imposed on Gambia. If Assad of Syria is still in power then Jammeh stands a good chance. I believe he is smarter than most of think.For him to make this decision he has covered all his bases. After seeing how GEJ is been treated by the same man who was appointed head of negotiation committee for ECOWAS,he had to take this decision to save his neck and prestige. Not everyone is as docile as GEJ. |

Omeokachie: Getting tired of telling people that Barrow never said such. International media kept asking and the most he would say was that there is a process and that when he gets into office he would look into it. It was a female member of the coalition who explicitly made comments threatening the man and his henchmen. 3 Likes |

hotice01: 1. If you can't see the difference between Assad's Syria and Gambia then you cannot be taken seriously as a political analyst. 2. How is GEJ being mistreated?? Is he not a free man, roaming the globe praising himself for doing what ought to have been done? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Lacomus: Mentioning Gadaffi with this guy is an insult to gadaffi. Gadaffi issue was because the western powers couldn't control him and his country's oil. So they decided to fund son rebels to fight against him. Even at the heart of the war when they found out the rebels were looking ground in a big way, the US had to physically intervene through NATO. It is exactly the same thing happening in Syria right now. The only difference is that unlike Assad of Syria, Gadaffi had no world power like Russia to support him. Jameh's own issue is different. He is the one that called for an election and went ahead to organise it only for him to turn around and start crying foul after being defeated/rejected by his own people. Gadaffi was never rejected by his own people and he never had a recognised opposition figure, that was why the rebels found it very hard to defeat him on their own. 4 Likes |

Jammeh just disappointed me. This's someone I had great prospects for because he at least have an independent mind unlike most follow-follow African leaders. Now he just destroyed his fan base as no right thinking African is going to take this nonsense from him. |

SmartyPants: Here is an excerpt from an interview granted by Barrow... Barrow will also face a dicey situation handling his predecessor once he’s sworn in. Given Jammeh’s track record of human rights abuses, Barrow will have to decide whether to investigate and prosecute Jammeh. “We don’t have a grudge against anyone. If there are files to be judged, we will do it,” Barrow said about the possibility. “We respect the constitution and the rights of all, but the law will be applied to everyone.” http://qz.com/852974/gambias-president-elect-adama-barrow-lays-out-his-vision-for-a-nation-mired-in-fear-and-poverty-after-22-years-of-yahya-jammehs-autocratic-rule/ |

Omeokachie: Thank you for this, as it clearly backs up exactly what i said. He did not discard the possibility of it, when asked by foreign media, but he never went round declaring he would prosecute anybody in particular. Did he?? Here are other thigns Barrow has said: “We conducted the election on principle, not on personal things. I’m sure if we can reconcile...I see no reason why Gambians cannot do the same,” says Barrow “I think he [Jammeh] can also stay in this country. He belongs here and he’s a citizen of this nation. He has been [leading] Gambia for 22 years and I think he has the spirit of Gambia,” says Barrow. |
Re: "I Will Not Step Down" - Yahya Jammeh, Gambian President by SmartyPants(m): 1:08pm On Dec 21, 2016 |
jomoh: Just to correct this statement in bold. The constitution of the Gambia calls for elections every 5 years. Mr. Jammeh never called for nor organized elections of his own volition. |

Re: "I Will Not Step Down" - Yahya Jammeh, Gambian President by Omeokachie: 1:13pm On Dec 21, 2016 |
SmartyPants: In politics you read between the lines and pay close attention to body language. Everybody knows about the human rights abuses under Jammeh's administration. Barrow just confirmed in that interview that he will look into it and apply the law. In other words we are talking about jail term or death on conviction depending on what the law says in The Gambia. Now that was tackless of Barrow knowing you are trying to get rid of a dictator who has control of the army. Patience and less talk is a virtue, especially for a president. You claimed a lady supporter of his made the comments. Any link of that to back your assertion? 1 Like |
Re: "I Will Not Step Down" - Yahya Jammeh, Gambian President by SmartyPants(m): 1:18pm On Dec 21, 2016 |
Omeokachie: He simply had to toe the neutral line. To claim outrightly claim Mr. Jammeh would not be prosecuted at all would rile up the people who had just voted him in to power; to claim he would not be prosecuted and later turn back on that would on the other hand rile up Mr. Jammeh's fanbase and set a bad precedent of dishonesty from his government; and to outrightly claim he would be prosecuted would be to back the man into a corner and cause him to defend his interests fiercely. As you can see, the only acceptable political answer is the one that says everything and yet says nothing. http://europe.newsweek.com/new-gambian-government-will-prosecute-jammeh-says-coalition-chair-529102 |
Re: "I Will Not Step Down" - Yahya Jammeh, Gambian President by jomoh: 1:20pm On Dec 21, 2016 |
SmartyPants: So who did? Who provided for the materials used in election. If the constitution called for election and he decided to follow suit. If he had decided not to go ahead with the election like he has done in the past 22years who would care? No one. But he consented to the constitution by allowing the election and even participating. Gadaffi never called for an election and his people never complained only the external forces that he wouldn't now to. |
Re: "I Will Not Step Down" - Yahya Jammeh, Gambian President by nwamehn: 1:24pm On Dec 21, 2016 |
mu2sa2: I'm neither in support of ur view nor his but if u read what he wrote well, u would have seen that he said they wouldn't have conceded defeat after elections if they were Muslims. So, I guess u would have to find non-muslim presidents who didn't concede defeat after elections that they lost and use them as examples (I believe there ar many of them) and not Kabila and Mugabe, cos those two ar yet to lose elections first, let alone conceding defeat. |
