No one forced President Barrow to speak on record that he sacrificed his own son. A human soul is too sacred to be traded like this where the devil worshiper will continue to live in peace! Let’s say it was a slip of tongue when he said he did indeed sacrifice his son. Reader, let’s think together. Which family head will rescue himself from any danger, take along his wives, only to leave the most vulnerable soul—a child in the lion’s den? And later, that same child got bitten by a dog and died?
Okay—let’s say he never sacrificed the son. It was a Freudian slip. If nothing extraordinary was beckoning him to his regular catharsis, why would the same man come on record again to spill the beans about digging graves and putting amulets under the head of corpses—the loved ones whose funerals we attended and wailed? What’s forcing Barrow to speak about his own dangerous and dirty secrets? Is it the soul of his son we still want to say he never sacrificed?
Next, he destroyed Fabakary Tombong Jatta and his rebel APRC group when he disclosed, this time not only on camera, but to a multitudinous witness where even little children were present and listening. He said Fabakary and his team started talking to him since 2017 and the condition was to rid his gov’t of UDP before FTJ would sell APRC to him. What benefit was Barrow expecting to get from these bizarre revelations? What exactly is forcing Barrow to speak?
Freezing Alhajie Conteh’s Assets
It is important to remember what Barrow’s gov’t did to Yahya Jammeh’s seized assets. Not even the cattle belonging to the late mother of Jammeh were spared. It has been said many times that Hamat Bah ravished the Jammeh family wealth where he was buying their cattle at a price as low as D500 (five hundred Dalasis a head). We fear that the anger and venom in Barrow might squander Conteh’s millions the same way. And when he loses in December, they will escape to Dakar and France while Conteh’s account is pillaged. We pray his money stays safe!
Since Barrow knows his gov’t doesn’t have any future in a free and fair election, he is unleashing his anger in a way never seen before. What exactly is the remedy? As soon as he leaves office (God-willing), his assets, Hamat Bah’s assets in Senegal, as well as any Barrow abettor’s assets need to be frozen and confiscated. As we type these, we had been informed several times that some Barrow enablers have started changing names on their property to avoid confiscation. Please let’s keep and watch the records!
The Tear Gas Gov’t
We are dealing with a tear gas gov’t! Any little thing is met with a tear gas! That’s exactly how a coward behaves. Please keep the videos of those paramilitary officers at Jerrending’s house in Kombo Lamin. Please don’t forget those officers that attacked the late Tata Dingding’s house and shot pregnant women with tear gas. We are dealing with a gov’t that can’t afford gloves in our hospitals, but always affords tear gas. It wouldn’t afford the most basic supplies in our impoverished hospitals, but could afford water cannon trucks to oppress citizens.
So, do we get a final answer on what exactly is quaking Barrow to disclose his own dangerous and very dirty secrets? We think the answer is simple! The suffering Gambians are going through right now; the lack of public security; citizens dying not only in poor hospitals, but also homes, streets, forests, etc; our sovereignty handed over to Senegal where citizens are neglected for a special interest.
Above all, when Gambians wail and mourn their dead, they never knew they have a president that dug their graves to burry amulets under the heads of corpses. And above everything else, the soul of the child that has been sacrificed won’t let Barrow have peace! The Qur’aan clearly said, “And the magician (sorcerer) will never be successful, no matter whatever amount (of skill) he may attain,” Surah Taa-ha verse 69. This is the verse I hope to remind Adama Barrow about, come December 5th 2021 insha Allaah!
