Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The event was attended by the vice chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Basse Area Council, Regional Commissioners of Police and Immigration, Regional Youth Committee Coordinator, Regional Health Directorate representative, Alkalo of Basse, among other dignitaries.<\/p>\n

It was also attended by different African nationals residing and doing businesses in the Upper River Region of The Gambia. The forum seeks to maintain peace, harmony and unity among different African nationals in The Gambia.<\/p>\n

According to the movement, Pan-Africanism has to be put into practice to show how prepared we are in the emancipation of our people from colonial oppressions and to forge unity among our African brothers.<\/p>\n

The Movement thanked Africans who turned up at the event to show their support and cooperation towards the realisation of their Pan African agenda in a united and pragmatic strategy.<\/p>\n

The movement called for all aliens and residential permits to be lifted for our fellow Africans in The Gambia be accorded the same rights and privileges granted to Gambians in public facilities, specifically ticket and labour ward cost in hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore we believe that anyone born in The Gambia should have an automatic citizenship status,\u201d the movement further said. Adama Bittaye, secretary general of the movement said it is now 77 years since physical colonialism ended in Africa.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cFor centuries, Europeans dominated the African continent. The white man arrogated to himself the right to rule and to be obeyed by the non-white; his mission, he claimed, was to \u201ccivilise\u201d Africa. Under this cloak, the Europeans robbed the continent of vast riches and inflicted unimaginable suffering on the African people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Bittaye added that, we must find an African solution to our problems which can only be found in African unity. He urged President Barrow to take a firm stance on corruption, ensure measures are taken to stabilise prices of essential commodities, cease focusing on his political future and address the situation of Gambians and Africans in general.<\/p>\n

The Movement for Social Justice, is an anti-corruption and Pan-African movement that seeks to fight for the rights of the marginalised working class of the society, fight against all forms of injustice and to sell the Pan African agenda.<\/p>\n

It aims to raise awareness on the Pan African ideology linking it to ECOWAS and African Union free movement protocols; not only ensure the idea of a single African currency and one economic block is installed in the minds of Africans but also ensure trade among African nationals in the region is well coordinated and controlled.<\/p>\n
