The secret. Police though sterling you walked with gemma to spy on people and then he was interviewed he was there her photographs were taken of them and he was asked questions and then after the questions was i didnt know i didnt get to listen to the audio but the police have it so theres an audio recording of the interrogation of your father that was made by the Security Service exactly they did that not only with him but with all the others that they had arrested and then after doing that day he had to take them to these rooms where these men have to come with masks over their head and then be had to torture him they had to beat him to the point that he couldnt just move or say anything again and then he couldnt survive it. Challenging to security. To this to be protesting to. Have the attention of you know enough is enough. To go to find him to stop. This video appeared on the Security Forces went after them. She fled to neighboring senegal. Republican vision. You stood up in this in this road and spoke out publicly against young age i mean risking your own life as well why did you do that. I i went to a point where i cared no more i i from there wanted to be my father because he knew jemma was still here but he had to go out and say we want Electoral Reforms he wanted a Better Future for me and the rest of my family for the rest of the ghanians so whom would i be if i had to keep quiet i felt that is the only thing i had to do for my father left now i had to speak up for him i wanted justice for my father i wanted gemma to just go i i was i was thinking of what i had gone through within that week and imagining another gambian family going through that was like it was unimaginable so i made sure i did something to stop another family from losing their father like i did i made sure that i stopped another family from leaving like a did so i had to speak up i had to Say Something to make sure everybody heard what i was saying to make sure people went out on the first of december to vote him out to make sure the world knows what hes doing to tell us about this role of this incredible role in this this in. Overthrowing you know jam it seems that the social media whats phrasebook mobile phones played a crucial role that really changed the history of this country social media was a great tool in the president barroso sees that hes a re didnt have access to the radio the t. V. When we had to go on something that is a correlation team but then just knowing when the meetings of the coalitions were going to be it was up on facebook it was in the whats up so that people can go out right so all the other Networks LikeEven International calls were blocked at some point and everybody knew that but wed facebook and then and what than before they blocked it it was like it was too late information was going out already so everybody was grateful for social media being there because without it we wouldnt know how to communicate how to talk to anybody so it was one thing that held changed the dictatorship that was in gambia it was one tool that many of us used because personally i have over five six thousand friends and people following me on facebook so most of those people are in gambia so writing on facebook they would read it im going to do a live video they would have to watch it so all those at it things that we used so i would look for someone else who also has more than five thousand friends or so we would just be like that if youre formal that much you need to speak up on and we had prominent people gambians and young people who were listen to put up this mistake that we need jammin out and we need the people of the gambia to decode the responsibility unfortunately i dont know what happened it was just a miracle calling someone in gambia by then was risky because they could address you or they could put you in trouble so you try to avoid but then with whats up on facebook being secure a little especially whatsapp you could send people messages you could tell them i had my list of friends and i send them audioslave send message the. So some people just. Like. Any. I dont think. You know what. This. People. If you say anything so people use. The full. More. She joins the prevention. She encouraged people to get medical help. And other members of the support for treatment. I didnt join jolie cannot say no you want to know what i mean because. I mocked my he. Knows he most of us doesnt marry im not really added it was our name that was given to our continued that recent cool to do treatment and we cannot say anything against that so all you want we have to do is to take us one and go to determine if you had refused his treatment what would have happened to you maybe didnt come for you im force you to go they are maybe by forcing you to go to yeah you know if you make it because you have double stress the honest man what i mean you would think and also i was forced to come here it was not my intention and secondly i am on medication which you know that i was not used to describe to us your first day in the Treatment Center all. It was very because for me. Throughout my life up to that very far as. I was not used to have a medicine it was not my. I was not used or it saudi very far as the eye to give me to. My king where i start to get really. Though i was not having diarrhea what i was. Up to try it you know lets backtrack to to poor treatment you got what exactly happened in the Treatment Center the yeah germany hiv aids Treatment Center what was that your days like the doctors do how do they treat you in the morning if you go or do you take your vital signs that d. C. Will be. Your high. You want to every day to see where you are losing weight or you are giving me. Your b. P. Your hitch. And the like. Then from there. You start drinking. So it was that it was a potion of some sort of almost full of different different types of maybe what for me on my own view for me. Even if i see he mixed in the medication i start vomiting. He would mix the medicine and money is not make see no point. For me to. Source sometimes i just dont look at it and if i am drinking it in my eyes and hold my breath what does it taste like outs or somewhere a bit very very bitter. From where im not easy to cause you can know if you remember the finale of the hardest. It was not easy. How long did you take this herbal treatment for. It was from general to september almost nine months how did your health cope with the herbal medicine that gave you my health it was terrible because i was the weakest water there. When i would there i guess. I was dragged because i couldnt eat and i am. Half now at the time i you know i was even people. Im this. Many people thing that im going today there are nasty me and if you would do that im going to die because i will see. What affect me was that as i said before i was not used to have a petition where he helps by medical doctors by foreign nurses yes he was scared because then we have. To be. Really strict at them from the creative. Team and we have a medical doctor who was then by who was by then who was the director of maybe he was the minister of health and hes a doctor. Assisting him so the cuban nurses a certified medical doctor who is also the minister of health and me were all administering you this herbal medicine. That jamie said would cure from each of you needs you knew that this was not true it was not true definitely. Then youre going to say and if. You decide to. Come get us in the hospital where you how. You see soldiers soldiers were in the medical facilities where we are. At anything sort of nobody comes escape you are being treated against your will at any time did you feel like you were in the eight others were given yeah thats what i said before i said it was a tryout. Just do not try out to see red if it were not all. Tommy if its not because after that i have to go back to the hospital and live before i go back to the hospital my city for my means is there was my city for dropped so. I know that for me i dont know for me i believe that. Fear is. Until it adds another parish president s with. Thousands took to the streets calling for an end of his regime. Apathetic about politics came out to vote in numbers. As polls closed the chairman of the Election Commission you enjoy i saw the numbers calling it. He was responsible for the final official tally on december first and news in giant announced that yeah john had lost the election stunning. Youre the first thats. John made public. Tell us what went through your mind when you decided to announce that he was the loser of this president ial elections well i was just times with the will of the people. He never thought that through we lose the election he will talk about he did well but for the tory. But also for me i feel that if the gamble decided to say this is it i need to assess the will and times with that. And announce it to songs as you can that of of course many people would would say that the person who is in your position under his rule is probably the one that house too. To announce the results that yeah dummy wants well i dont want to go through the process again but it was a difficult telling it was very very difficult i have undergone stress. Because there were moves really to get nutrition that resource and career youve had to endure this was how people have argued on the five years at which point did you realize that yeah jimmy had lost the elections im the last to know but because he knew he had lost. Before i announce all of this was because im the last to know because it is always our quality any different to us and said by fox to me here but in the polling station there are party yes and there would. Form their respective offices to in the demo do the sort of the particular politicization and this would be always call it and he knew when advance that he had lost and there were presumably to increase the number of votes in to continue. And i fish. What was his reaction when you refused where i was i was i was in seattle i was here but again. As you ordered no the following the in the evening he came out plain and i said that he was he had lost the election but when you saw the tally and you saw that he had lost did you pick up your phone call the state house in all you know that he had lost. That he knew you had lost him before and you you know at last because when they call it it. By his own people as well when he knew not last and that doesnt move down there that he had made for me to get into this was and how did they put pressure on you how did. His people put pressure on you to change or they were there did it. On their own. But something i dont know whats wrong with that they do when they were here and here as in here in the building of the Election Commission or how were they menacing or threatening you they were. As welcome as it. Did they threaten to to kill you did they tell you they were here so i can see you. And yet you stood up and stood up against them i guess he just has to go. A little my life. To the. Other side to that. At first just make step to the outcome and then changed his mind a week later calling for a new election west african heads of state try to convince him to step down but he refused saying the elections were rigged against him. And yet this is what he said julie became our lets all system his approach is to regain full this product you cannot think how i let something and i wanted to go into the contest as and see how the elections are done in this country then you know that that thought isnt quite what the good news. The Security Forces deployed on the streets looting outside the Election Commission. Fearing for his life and joy i fled the country. Coming over to kill thats for sure when you say they you mean the security the gammon Security Forces they were going about how many put out.
