GPA Leader Advices BAC Chairman To Respect Authorities

Dear Chairman Yankuba Darboe and Honourable Councillors, As leaders of the Gambia Action Party, it is our responsibility to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and respect for the institutions of our government. Recent events have brought to light concerns regarding the actions of some within our ranks. It is imperative that we understand the role of government and the importance of abiding by established programs and policies that serve the interests of our citizenry. As leaders, we must lead by example, demonstrating a commitment to peaceful dialogue and adherence to due process.

Attacking state agents, especially security personnel, is not only unethical but also undermines the rule of law and jeopardizes the safety and security of our communities. We must refrain from engaging in any actions that incite violence or disrupt the operations of those tasked with serving the public good. I urge each of you to focus your efforts on addressing the needs and aspirations of the people we serve. Let us work tirelessly to improve the lives of our constituents and contribute positively to the development of our communities. Furthermore, I implore Chairman Yankuba Darboe and his councillors to refrain from interfering with the activities of those assigned with road expansion and decongestion efforts. Let us respect the mandates entrusted to various agencies and work collaboratively to achieve our common goals. In conclusion, let us remember that leadership is not by wish but by the will of Allah. Let us lead with integrity, humility, and a steadfast commitment to the betterment of our beloved nation. Sincerely, SERVANT MUSA OUSAINOU YALI BATCHILLY Secretary General and Party Leader of the Gambia Action Party, GAP

Mama Yero Saidykhan D Founder of Jarra Kanikunda

Alpha Mama Yerro Khan, a distinguished Fulani scholar, embarked on a transformative journey from Futa Toro in 1797 that would leave an indelible mark on the Islamic scholarly landscape of the Senegambia region. His lineage traced back to the revered companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Salman al-Farisi, who played a pivotal role in the Battle of the Trench by suggesting the strategic digging of a trench around Medina to fend off enemy tribes. In his quest for spreading knowledge and establishing a center for Islamic education, Alpha Mama Yerro traveled to The Gambia. By 1821, he had founded the holy village of Khani Kunda, which would soon become a beacon of learning and spirituality. Khani Kunda thrived under his leadership, providing comprehensive instruction in Islamic sciences and becoming a prominent center for intellectual and spiritual growth. Alpha Mama Yerro Khan’s noble lineage connected him to the great scholastic families of Senegambia, including the renowned communities of Touba, Tivaouane, and Boussobeh of Mbakeh Barri. His family’s influence extended widely, cementing their reputation as custodians of knowledge and spiritual leaders. The legacy of Alpha Mama Yerro Khan was perpetuated by his descendants. His first son, Foday Saidykhan, became the inaugural Imam of Khani Kunda, thus establishing a tradition where the people of Foday Kunda are honored with the Imam title to this day. This lineage of esteemed scholars and leaders continued to flourish, producing notable figures such as Ansu Saidykhan, kang Khalipha saidykhan, Amina Saidykhan, Wassa Isatou Saidykhan, Sotokoi Saidy, Ebrima Free Saidykhan, and Bunangbass Saidykhan, among others. The descendants of Alpha Mama Yerro Khan continue to shine with majesty and nobility, reflecting the profound legacy of their ancestor. The village of Khani Kunda remains a testament to the enduring impact of Alpha Mama Yerro Khan’s vision, serving as a thriving center for Islamic learning and a symbol of the rich scholarly traditions of the Fulani people.
