Transcribed By Alhaji Saikou B.NyassiBala Gaba Jahumpa I bear witness that there is one God. My fellow Gambians, here is a Gambia Government declaration and the declaration reads as follows: We the Government and the people hereby make it very clear to the European Union and any outside bloc that wants to impose acceptance of homosexuals as a pre-condition for aid that we will never accept that conditionality no matter how much is involved. As from today we are no longer going to entertain any dialogue on the issue with the European Union or any other foreign power for that matter. Our country’s socio-economic development depends only on the All Mighty Allah, the benevolent. We also declare that the Gambia will always be an independent dignified Allah worshiping Muslim country where our way of life will be based on our Islamic rule, that is, strict adherence to our Islamic faith. This being the case any agreement, convention or protocol that is at variance with our Islamic faith, economic prosperity and our national security interest will be surely rejected out right. We will never be a party to such decadence and will never ratify such conventions. Our laws are promulgated to ensure our people’s security and our African and Islamic heritage will be strengthened and enforced to the letter and spire. As an independent Muslim country we will not be tied to any bloc that promotes decadence and ungodly behaviors that are not only satanic but they also are detrimental to human existence, such as homosexuality especially when it is used as a precondition for receiving aid. In fact homosexuality has no place in our African heritage more so Islamic values. As an African country we will also work with all Africans to put an end to the mass murder of young Africans and African migrants to the European shores with whatever means necessary as we will not sit down and watch this racist genocide continue unabated. If the European Union is really interested in the protection of homosexuals in Africa as a human right, why are they slaughtering young and decent African migrants in their thousands on European soil? The people of The Gambia in particular and Africa in general can no longer be fooled, exploited or subjugated in this 2Oth century and beyond. We hereby call on all Africans to stand up to defend our race against the phenomena of racism and violence against the black race. Africa is a continent and not a village and therefore strong enough to stand against this brutal killing of young people simply because they are black. When Europe was very poor and on the verge of mass starvation, they came to Africa and looted our resources through extra-ordinary brutality for more than 4OO years, leaving behind a very desolate, poor and highly underdeveloped African continent. The consequences of European occupation of Africa ranged from abject poverty and reversing the continent back to the stone age with endless proxy wars and endemic destitution. Today in the 2Oth Century, all Africans should stand up shoulder to shoulder to put up a definitive end to this humiliating vision. So we should be aware also that there are certain African leaders that are working for them in this evil and racist crusade against Africa and Africans. And to facilitate the continued looting of African resources by the same forces enslaved Africans who still believe that blacks are monkeys and not human and therefore should not benefit from our Allah given vast natural resources that we have on the African continent. This has been the case and the Republic of the Gambia will never be a party to So-called EPA, with the European, is designed to continue the same exploitation and impoverishment of the African continent. We will rather die than be colonised twice, enslaved twice, and be robbed of our resources, our dignity and humanity twice. Our relationship with any country or any bloc will be based on mutual respect and the respect for the sovereignty and independence and religious values of our country. We will no longer be a member of any sub regional and international bloc or organisation that will allow the continued racist exploitation and humiliation and the looting of the African continent in particular and the black race in general. In conclusion we are no longer going to entertain any dialogue with the European Union either directly or through the sub regional, Regional and international bloc to which we are members. Allah willing we will continue to develop our country in dignity and prosperity with our independence and Islamic values intact. We will also continue to defend on and worship only the Almighty Allah. It is high time that we Africans wake up from our deep and detrimental coma. If the case of Ebola is not a glaring example to all Africans then not only would it become out of our current position but we will become extinct while Africans are dying from Ebola. European that is (i.e) white are being cured of Ebola. The message is very clear for even frogs to understand. Why can’t we black Africans and our leaders understand the situation? As Gambians in particular and blacks in general we will defend our Dignity and black race at any price. We will never be any white man punch bag again. May Allah bless this great nation, May Allah protect the leader of our July 22nd revolution who is also the president of the Republic of the Gambia, His Excellency Sheikh Professor Dr. Alhaji Yahya Abdul Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh. Thank you. ]]>
