GAMBIA: OUSMAN SONKO? OUH, I'M SAD.

So many of Gambia's ministers and top Government officials had been fired, reassigned, charged/prosecuted, Jailed, Freed and reappointed, but most if not all, stayed in that country. Why would one of Gambia's longest serving ministers at an important, sensitive position as Interior, flee the country even before he was handed his marching orders?

Ousman Sonko and many like him in that country, are as powerful as Yaya Jammeh makes them. The same way Jammeh is as powerful and brave as the state Institutions that protect him. So it's apparent that NONE of these people acting tough and patriotic, to an extent of 'Killing in the name of the Gambia', and swearing to 'Die for the Gambia' would ever stand when push comes to shove. 

There's a reason Ousman Sonko scaled the borders and flew as far away from Jammeh and his reaches as he could. He had been there from the inception of Yaya's treacherous and murderous schemes to firm his grip on power. He allegedly masterminded, participated, recorded the horrors of victims as their eyes rolled in the back of their heads, their souls leaving their bodies, amidst loud screams and cries in the hands of state-paid murderers. All while him and his boss Yaya, rejoiced and derived pleasure from that. Absolute Socio/Psychopaths.

Sonko would run because he knows the calls he made to his dogs when folks in his position needed a 'visit'. He is aware of the dark walls in Mile Two and the NIA. He knows the drug fiends, bloodthirsty criminals that they let loose on chained Gambians at Yaya's call. And I bet those dogs are licking their fingers, wishing they had caught him.

So I'm registering my sadness and disappointment, at his escape. I'm hurting that Sonko wasn't arrested and murdered by the hands he fed. Or at least be made a shooting target at his home for 'resisting arrest'. I wanted some sort of mystery to have clouded his death. BUT, uh!! Anyway, I'm still in for 'Justice for All'. That's the justice he earned in my books.

Well, Now that he's landed and seeking asylum in Sweden, all is not lost. Maybe not the killing but he'd see hell at the hands of his victims, their relatives and Gambians who are dedicated and committed to seeking and finding justice for Gambians. I trust our activists in Europe,  Demba N. Njie MamaLinguere Sarr Kebba Samuel Nyanchor Sanneh Baboucarr Sohna among others, to trail and get his asshole burning.

And to the rest of the losers and unintelligent folks running after Yaya, intimidating and killing Gambians for Yaya Jammeh in the name of patriotism, the tell tale signs are here. YOU ALL know how you'll end.

****** The End ******
