The Africans evacuated by the Gambian leader included some 100 Senegalese. This move, particularly the inclusion of the Senegalese among those airlifted by the Gambian leader, speaks of the unbreakable bond shared by the two countries. It also shows President Jammeh&#8217;s belief that The Gambia and Senegal share a lot in common. They are without doubt the same people, speak the same languages, share the same cultural norms and values and located within the same geographical entity called the Senegambia. In fact, we are one people unfortunately divided by the colonial masters.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore not surprising that the President of Senegal, Abdoulie Wade extended through a special envoy, his heartfelt appreciation and warm felicitation to the Gambian leader for his bold step in facilitating the evacuation of not only Gambians, but also all Africans trapped in Libya. The two leaders are indeed proving that the two countries are united and will always act towards each other in the spirit of brotherhood, as well as promote and protect each other at all times.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore hope that other African leaders would emulate such initiatives of President Jammeh and work collectively to achieve complete unity. This can only be done when they foster bonds of oneness and brotherhood. It will go a long way in materialising the Pan African philosophy which is the total emancipation of the continent from the shackles of poverty, underdevelopment, wars, diseases etc.<\/p>\n<p>Amalgamating our thoughts and actions; and galvanising the spirit of brotherhood, will eventually lead us to construct a formidable bloc to be reckoned with in the global arena. Besides, as human beings, we would find it extremely difficult to live a meaningful life without each other&#8217;s support in one way or the other. Such is the reality of human nature, which has undoubtedly been mirrored and reflected in the actions of the Gambian leader.<\/p>\n<p><!-- end story layout piece here --><\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_banner_subbody div ---><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><b>More News on allAfrica.com<\/b><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"c|main|main|id|0CaPPNZg8bkM89qu\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>See the original article here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201103290842.html\" title=\"Fulfilling the Senegambia Bond\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fulfilling the Senegambia Bond<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Daily Observer (Banjul) 29 March 2011 editorial As a leader committed to the ideals of Pan Africanism, President Jammeh recently ensured the evacuation of some other Africans alongside their Gambian brothers and sisters from conflict-torn Libya.
