???????? Tunisia's Dirty Secret l People & Power shabakha49 33 Views • 6 years ago

Our great Ancestor/Warrior/Scholar Dr. Chancellor Williams states in his master work "The Destruction of Black Civilization" that northern Afrika was invaded by asiatic settlers 3000 years ago. The descendants of these invaders can still be found in Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Mauritius, Egypt and other parts of north Afrika. These arab states have, for the most part, marginalized and discriminated against the indigeneous Afrikan population. This video deals primarily with the situation in Tunisia, but can also be applied to most of the other north Afrikan, muslim states. How can these nations be allowed to be members of the "African Union" under these types of conditions?

In January 2011, driven to despair by high unemployment, food inflation, corruption, a lack of political freedom and poor living conditions, Tunisians ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and introduced democracy to their country.

As the celebrations of this remarkable achievement began to quieten down, people got ready to enjoy the benefits of liberty - especially those to do with fairness, human rights and equality.

And indeed, many of those benefits did follow; even though many Tunisians continue to feel economically marginalised and the country faces security problems, for the most part the repression that was such of feature of the Ben Ali years has gone. Tunisia is widely regarded as one of the few successes of the Arab Spring.

But not all Tunisians would agree. Five years on from the revolution, the country's large black minority - roughly about 15 percent of the population - say they have yet to fully experience the freedoms that their fellow citizens enjoy. They say that racial abuse and discrimination are still widespread in a society that is supposed to have done away with inequity and prejudice - and that the authorities are failing to take action.

People & Power sent filmmaker Nada Issa to investigate.

PRESS CONFERENCE 15/12/19
We have organised a press conference for the 15th of December at Solomons Beach Bar and Restaurant at 4pm in Kololi Palma Rima

LAST CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR SUBMISSION TO THE CRC
Please come to the last date of the CRC at Kanifing Municipality at 10am on the 16th of December if you are living in the Gambia and are from the Diaspora.

YOUR SKELETON LETTER TO ASK THE CRC TO REVIEW AND RECONSIDER AND AMEND THE DRAFT CONSTITUTION, SECTION 16 TO INCLUDE AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP TO ADOS LAND OWNERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS AND INVESTORS. PLEASE SEE THE LETTER BELOW
Your letter can state the following:

Dear Secretariat,
Re CRC Commission Submission

I have been made aware of section's 257 and 258 of the Draft Constitution.
I have some recommendation with regard to section 16 with regards to Citizenship also.
1. Diasporans that live own land and property in the Gambia are investors in the Gambia and are of African Descent and we would Gambia to follow in the footsteps of Ghana and Sierra Leone in uniting with the Disapora in offering automatic citizenship to African Gambian Descendants of the enslaved Africans in the Diaspora. This amendment to section 16 would demonstrate Gambia's commitment to unify and to invite inward investment to Diasporas and prevent them from the effects of the unfavorable land rights in section 257 and 258. We are asking for an exemption and exception to be made in our regards as this would be very damaging to both the relationships with the ADOS- African Descendant of Enslaved Africans world wide who may no longer wish to consider heritage tourism and property ownership and inward invest or aid to The Gambia and this would indicate that we are not welcome in The Gambia. We should not be lumped in the same category as others as we are actually coming home to build and develop and to create job opportunities and develop the infrastructure of the Gambia. There has been a long history of returnee's including Alex Haley, Automatic citizenship was offered previously at the Roots Festival and this was an excellent vehicle for us to be invited into the Gambian society to be welcomed back. We hope the Gambian society see our long term benefits to the country and engage in change the demonstrates to us that they value our contributions and offer us Automatic Citizenship so we will not be impacted by section 257 and 258 as this must be done before the sections 257 and 258 negatively impact upon ADOS investors, land owners and home owners.

Your Truly
