[@SulaymanSillah-g1i]

He has never been a dictator people misunderstood his mission for the Gambian people we want president Jammeh back!!! His government played a significant role in the development of the Gambia, we are now facing the most difficult moments in the history of the Gambia our current government really failed us as a country we are depending heavily on other countries rather than standing strong as an Independent country. WE WANT JAMMEH BACK

[@knightknight5713]

Speak for your self, i and a lot of Gambians don't share the same views as you

[@roncassaglia]

Yahya Jammeh played a significant role in shaping The Gambia’s history. His leadership brought infrastructure development and economic initiatives, but it was also marked by controversy. While some view him as a strong leader who prioritized national sovereignty, others criticize his human rights record. Regardless of perspective, his impact on the country remains undeniable, and the media should ensure fair and factual reporting on his legacy.

[@Babajagnee]

He was a rubbish president. It’s just unbelievable.

[@Shasha-nt3rm]

Gambians need former president to come back because this politicians they came together in 2016 They cannot take our country anywhere so we need a president like former president to come back and take over our country ok

[@MabelBaldeh-j1z]

What I’ve heard from the former Gambian arm forces commander Sam sidin sarr said that President Jammeh doesn’t want to come back to the Gambia that’s y he is playing games and that his wife left him bankrupt and that he is afraid to come back without money and can’t afford to live in his native village in kanalai….he get to know that the president of Aquatorial Guinea is to be invited as a chief guest of honor for the coming Gambian independence which is 18 February So is like he is afraid for the Equatorial Guinean president to come and beg for his return to the Gambia which he doesn’t want to do because he is bankrupt and can’t afford to live in his mansion in his village 😂😂😂

[@ArfangSaine-f6r]

what was he ? where were you during the 22 years he had turned The Country into his personal and Father's Property and Murdering hundreds and thousands of innocent citizens. why so many people had to die , why did he have the Junglers? It is his right to come back to the Gambia as a citizen and it's up to the Justice department what they do about his murderous crimes against the innocent in accordance to the TRRC hearing....One thing for certain He will never escape the Judgement of The Most High God of Righteousness for abusing his power and authority to commit systematic mass murdering's of other human-beings . Evil, wicked and very selfish!!!

[@OusmanJammeh-s9k]

We want him back
