The military in power is working closely with Embaló, reports continue, and he would be picked by the army to lead the so-called new gov’t. If ECOWAS allows this, Gambians should be in the streets to ask for the removal of ECOMIG from Gambian soil.

The first injustice and crime ECOWAS allowed in Bissau is to let Embaló and his corrupt gang to refuse announcing last election results where Embaló was feared to have lost. If ECOWAS arrests Embaló and demand results, the matter would have been settled.

But ECOWAS is nothing but a club of power-hungry beasts some of whom change constitutions just to stay in power. And colleagues of the same African beasts dressed in presidential robes would protect them as in the case of Ouattara in Ivory Coast.

The reason Adama Barrow is destroying Gambia with abandon and still travels for insignificant events is because he believes he has coup proof from ECOWAS. And ECOWAS knows Gambia is small with extremely divided tribes and opposition figures.

Gambia’s hospitals would continue to ration oxygen and other basic supplies. Billions would continue to disappear under Barrow. The country’s seminal parastatals would continue to be sold to special interests while citizens die from easily preventable diseases.

In fact, the corrupt Gambian gov’t would tell citizens they couldn’t renew ID cards in the country because some stupid machine broke while the same gov’t would run around countries in the subregion to issue Gambian ID cards to whoever they please—all in a desperate bid to rig elections.

Yet, a divided opposition could never forget its differences and mobilize citizens in the streets to call for a stop to this blatant stealth and corruption. Both Barrow and ECOWAS know how selfish Gambia’s opposition parties are, chief among whom is Ousainou Darboe whose fetish it is to only  become president while not eloquently addressing the simplest of issues the country has been facing.
