On Monday, the UAE announced it has suspended 30-day visas for 20 countries including The Gambia.<\/p>\n<p>But in a statement shared with The Standard yesterday, the GAP leader, Musa Yali Batchilly who is currently in Dubai, wrote: \u201cOur leaders must come together in unison and act as the people\u2019s power in collaboration with African Union in ensuring that all countries cease diplomatic ties, squash-off trade or bilateral agreements and sanction United Arab Emirates indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur borders must remain closed including airspace to the UAE and ban their citizens as well as their allies with zero tolerance. We are calling on the government of The Gambia to spearhead these drastic measures without remorse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur legendary performance as the most well-known continent that accepts free movement with other continents must as well be revised to accommodate similar trends and treat our brothers and sisters\u2019 experiences on their daily journey outside the continent. It\u2019s our time to rise above the mediocratic principle to other continents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent announcement by the authorities of the UAE to ban African countries with immediate effect violates the international protocol on travelling and movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s sad when governments of Africa continuously serve as second fiddle to other continents for exploitative loan deals labelled Africa as recipient continent instead of being donor. Africa is the richest continent on the minerals and resources front, but the lackadaisical and the phenomenon of governance or leadership by the incompetents derail our efforts,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: The Gambia | Standard News From The Gambia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omar Bah Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
