Diplomates gambiens expulsés des USA : la réaction de Banjul

image

Quatre agents de l’ambassade de Gambie aux Etats-Unis ont jusqu’au 17 juillet prochain pour quitter le territoire américain. Ils ont été déclarés persona non grata au pays de l’oncle Sam. Ces fonctionnaires sont accusés de fraudes et de violences physiques. 
Dans une récente interview à West Coast Radio, le porte-parole du gouvernement gambien Ebrima G. Sankareh a confirmé l’information. C’est du moins ce qu’indique le média en ligne The Point.
« Ce n’est pas une bonne nouvelle pour le gouvernement »
« J’ai parlé au ministre des Affaires étrangères et au président Adama Barrow. Personne ne voudra envoyer des diplomates dans des pays étrangers pour qu’ils soient renvoyés chez eux pour avoir prétendument manqué de respect aux lois du pays…Donc évidemment, ce n’est pas une bonne nouvelle pour le gouvernement et en particulier pour le président Barrow. Il a accepté la Constitution américaine, la position du gouvernement, et a décidé de les rapatrier  au plus tard le 17 juillet avec leurs familles » a déclaré M Sankareh. 
En ce qui concerne Abdu Cham, l’agent accusé d’avoir exercé une violence physique sur son enfant, le porte-parole informe que le gouvernement a demandé une preuve de sa culpabilité. Mais l’intéressé devra d’abord rentrer à Banjul.
« Le gouvernement travaille pour obtenir le document et le président m’a promis qu’une fois ces personnes de retour, le gouvernement gambien mènera également sa propre enquête approfondie sur les circonstances » a déclaré M Sankareh.

    The US Department of State has explained the decision behind the expulsion of four Gambian diplomats at the embassy in Washington.  The diplomats Abdu Cham, Pa Sako Darboe, Mustapha Sosseh and Alhagie Babou Joof were given until 17 July to leave the United States. The US State Department explains each diplomat’s situation as follows:   Abdu Cham According to the Department of State, Abdu Cham, a counsellor at the Gambian Embassy in Washington, DC, is found wanting by the Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) of striking his daughter, with a mop. “The mop left markings on the daughter’s arms.  The MCPD further reported that based on the victims’ injuries and evidence at the scene, had it not been for his diplomatic immunity, Mr Cham would have been arrested under state law and charged with second degree child abuse,” the State Department said. Mr Cham’s case was referred to Child Protective Services (CPS) who provides recommendations and access to resources to assist families. “The Department expects that the embassy help ensure the safety and wellbeing of its members and their dependents, including all the children who are residing in a principal’s household. The Department reminds the embassy that members of a foreign mission are expected to respect the laws of the United States. The Department takes this matter very seriously and considers such alleged behavior unacceptable for a member of a foreign mission,” the statement added. The Department said it will continue to monitor the situation and will be in contact with the embassy as new information becomes available. Pa Sako Darboe On the case of Pa Sako Darboe, a first secretary, the Department of State said he is found wanting of taking into custody transfer documents for a thirteen-year-old girl, and a fourteen-year-old boy. “A subsequent investigation by the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) determined that the custody transfer documents were fraudulent, and that Mr Darboe used these fraudulent documents to enroll the two children in school in Montgomery County, Maryland,” it added. Alhagie Babou Joof The DSS also found that, separately, Mr Alhagie Babou Joof, a finance attaché, had participated in visa fraud. Mustapha Sosseh “Finally, DSS found that Mustapha Sosseh, the Deputy Chief of Mission at the embassy, had been associated with visa applications with fraudulent indicators and that the illicit schemes described above took place under his leadership. Accordingly, pursuant to Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the above-named individuals and their dependents are required to depart the United States no later than July 17, 2023, at which point they will cease to enjoy any privileges and immunities,” the statement said. The DSS also requested the Gambian Embassy to return all Department-issued documents for the above-named individuals, including their driver’s licenses, tax exemption cards, and identification cards, to the Department’s Office of Foreign Missions immediately. “Further, the Department informs the embassy that the above-named individuals are unacceptable for future accreditation as members of The Gambia’s Mission to the United States,” it added. The State Department documents were obtained from The Fatu Network. MANDAL NIIT KOU NIOUL DIAKHAL NAMA WALAHI.. AL AZIM       ==============   M

    The rule of law il y a 1 an

    Ici ce n'est pas  l'Afrique ou on sème le bordel en toute impunité . En Afrique , on vole , on viole , on violente , on insulte les institutions , on défie la loi sans conséquence quand on est politicien ou chef de parti. Ici we do not give a rat's ass about who you are , you break the law , you pay on the spot . En Afrique quand on dit la vérité , on est insulté . La majeure partie des africains est ignorante , naïve et fumiste . Elle ne sait pas dissocier le mensonge a la vérité . L'africain sait tout et peut tout mais n'a rien crée qui puisse benificier l'humanité . L'africain n'a pas le courage de faire face à la vérité , quand il est dans un camp , quelque soit la bêtise dans ce camp , il campe sur sa position . Il ne reconnaît ni accepte ses erreurs , il est toujours parfait. Il croit à ses marabouts , ses prédicateurs , ses fétiches, ses "ndombo" et ses sacrifices parfois humains en 2023. Si vous ne me croyez pas , demandez vous pourquoi depuis votre naissance , l'Afrique et les noirs sont les plus pauvres de la planète ? Demandez vous pourquoi les africains ont été réduits à l'esclavage et à la colonisation ? Demandez vous pourquoi vous n'avez pas de bonnes écoles , de bons hôpitaux , de bonne hygiène de vie , de bonne sécurité alimentaire et territoriale ? Demandez vous pourquoi vos enfants sont dans la rue à la recherche de pitance , pourquoi certains de vos enfants ont pris la mer ou le désert fuyant la faim , la guerre et la misère au pris de leur vie ? Je suis africain et fier de l'être mais tant que nous ne reconnaissons pas nos défauts et accepter la vérité d'où qu'elle vienne , tant nous ne respectons pas les lois de nos pays et les institutions qui les incarnent , tant que nous ne nous aimons pas , nous seront toujours pour l'éternité les plus misérables de l'humanité . Ngeen baalma!

    Bien vu. Sauf que le gosse qui faisait l'impoli se retrouve tout à coup au bled. 911 traite les problèmes à la manière américaine. On ne touche pas un enfant quelque soit sa bêtise. Et cela un père africain ne peut l'admettre.

    C'est le GATSA GATSA qui se poursuit . Baye TOUBAb est blessé dans son orgueil parceque les africains se rebellent  contre l'impérialisme occidental. Aussi decide- t- il de le leur faire  payer en décidant de ne plus fermer les yeux sur leur moindre faute. Expulser un père  famille pour avoir corrigé sa fille alors qu'une simple amende aurait suffi à dissuader le fautif de  récidiver? Quelle méchanceté ! Fippou djotna ! Il faut  trouver une  parade à ces sanctions  qui ne disent pas leur nom.
