As he walks down the tarmac on the president ial red carpet for the last time a small crowd of supporters gather unable to hold back their emotions. After twenty two years in power the man who said he would rule gambia for billions of years is now leaving the country forced into exile. They left but enough of the gumdrop he had left when he sent the africa he left for to sit at the big chill and the women and the development of the hundred but the point would involve the discipline because. He had refused to accept election defeat and had overpowered west african heads of state and set off on a marathon month long negotiation dicky turns to get him to accept the results eventually they gave me an ultimatum either he steps down or seven thousand soldiers from the region steps into gambia to take back control of the country. This is the moment the troops entered the capital the crowd chants jummy go. A final goodbye. For many a moment. Picture of the moment has decided. This week to talk to aljazeera men and women that stood up to his rule and brought an end to his regime. This is twenty nine year old lieutenant in december. Just after he took power.

Among the protesters was that too much was sent thanks father. To every. Everybody else in the at the say we need. Thats a reform at least make it better ms make it suitable for all of us so we can have a level field so we could all play our so but then yeah a general was one dictator that doesnt want anybody to say this is what i want and you get away with it till you were a daughter of someone that is politically active under dangerous circumstances you knew that. Holding rallies like that were dangerous. Werent you worried for your father. I i was always worried like i once told him why dont you just leave them there why dont you go to senegal why didnt you that was in two thousand and thirteen when he was arrested then he was taken to court acquitted and this strike that was like right now you youre you have escaped from these people and they told him in his face that we were going to kill you free free arrest you again so i said why dont you just go he said hes not going anywhere said hes gambian said hes going to fight to end dictatorship and gambia he was taken today and i hit cars in bond yields and i aid the secret Police Though selling you walked with gemma to spy on people and then he was interviewed he was there we heard photographs were taken of them and he was asked questions and then after that was questions was he asked i dont know i didnt get to listen to the audio but the police have it but theres an audio recording of the interrogation of your father that was made by the German 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 had to take them to these rooms where these men have to come with must over their head and then they 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 advise. Challenging his Security Forces in the father the Police Question medicine. To the street protesting. This detention you have given enough is enough. To go to finally to stop the people. In this video appeared on the Security Forces went after them. She fled to neighboring senegal. You took a very public position. 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 and i i i went to a point where i cared no more i i from there wanted to be my father because he knew i 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 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 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 fleeing 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 in this in overthrowing me it seems that the social media. Facebook mobile phones played a crucial role that really changed the history of this country social media was a great tool in the president. Hes that hes a read and 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 is 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 and we had prominent people gambians and young people who will 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 whats up you could send people messages you could tell them i had my list of friends and i send them audioslave send the messages they knew what i was going through they knew what happened in the gambia so with some people just knowing me made them dislike jimmy for what he was doing there like the government population those schools scared to say anything against gemma just i dont know as things change how you. And everybody was like you know what. This. Was very important because people were given immunity. If you say anything so people used. To. Believe. He created. The full. Virus in one thousand nine hundred ninety she joined the prevention support group. She encouraged people to get medical help. Found a cure against the virus he. And other members of the support for treat. Given to. To treatment and we cannot say anything against that so all you what 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 where you know if you make it because you have 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 right there i was. 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. Story it saudi very far as the eye to give me to. Where i start to get really. Though i was not having diarrhea but i was. Up to try it you know lets backtrack to two point treatment you got what exactly happened in the Treatment Center. The yeah germany hiv aids Treatment Center what was the your days like what the doctors do how do they treat you in the morning if you go or do you take your vital signs that to still be. Your high. You want to every day to see where you are losing weight or you are gaining you take. Your b. P. Or hitch. And the like. Then from there. You start drinking. So it was it was a potion of some sort of almost full of different different maybe what for me on my own view for me. Even if i see he mixed in the medication for me didnt you could he would mix the medicine and moneys not make scene or. For me to store sometimes i just dont look at it and if i am drinking it or my eyes and hold my breath what does it taste like. The or somewhere a bit very very bitter. From easy to cause you can know if you remember a friend of the holocaust. It was not easy. How long did you take this herbal treatment for. It was from general are you to step. Over moss and i am once how did your health cope with the herbal medicine that jimmy gave you my health it was because i was the weakest one of there. When i would there i just. Dropped out. I was dragged because i couldnt eat and im. Half now at the time i you know i was even people. Many people would think 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 position where he helps by medical doctors by foreign nurses yes he was scared because then we have some t. V. Here we used to be in the clinic. Actually used to take them from the creative. Team and we have a medical doctor who was then by who was by then who was the director of may because he was the minister of it and he is that. Assisting him so that the cuban nurses. A certified medical doctor who is also the minister of health and me were all administering you this herbal medicine that johnny said would cure from each of you needs you knew that this was not true it was not true and definitely. Then youre going to say and if. You do start to. Come i guess take us in the hospital where your house guided you. You see soldiers soldiers where 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. I was just do not try out to see red if it were not for. Me its not because after that i have to go back to the hospital and my before i will walk to the hospital in my city for my means is there was my city for automatic dropped so. I know that for me i dont know us but for me i believe that. Fear of. Intel is adamant there is president ial. Thousands took to the streets calling for him and his regime. Normally apathetic about politics came out to vote in numbers. As polls closed the chairman of the Election Commission i 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 johnnie 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 if you will but for the story. But also for me i feel that if the gamba decide to say this is it i need to assess the will and times with that. And announce it is false 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 difficult telling it was very very difficult i had 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 i may have lost the elections im the last to know but because he knew he had lost. Before i was older this was because im the last to know because it is also a quality that any different to yours unless and by facts to me here but you need polling station there are party yes and there would. Form their respective offices to in the demo do the sort of the particular politician and this would be always call it and he knew in 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 once 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 well before i knew he had lost because when they call it it. By his own people as well when he knew not last and that does the world out there that he had made for me to individuals 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 want to look for whether they do well they were here anyway here as in here in the building of the Election Commission or how were they menacing or threatening you they were. What i consider. Did they threaten to to kill you did they tell you they were here so i can see you here. And yet you stood up and stood up against them i guess as to. What i wrote my life. I stood up. To the. At first make step to the outcome and then changed his mind a week later calling for a new election west african heads of state tried to convince him to step down but he refused saying the elections were rigged against him. And yet this is what he said during the camp. Lets all systems his approach is to regain full is called you cannot think how i let something and i wanted to go to the contest isnt ill see how the elections are done in this country then you know that that law isnt quite what the what it is to. The Security Forces deployed on the streets looting outside the Election Commission. Fearing for his life and joy 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 pulled out of their lives here i was one i was told this morning. So i had to it was to prove to his ambassador but i was aware to leave the qualms and when i went i was going on the present production to.
