Yahya Jammeh

"The man at the head of Jammeh’s party, Fabakary Tombong Jatta, is now the Speaker of the Gambia National Assembly."

"However, those bodies have not always upheld their end of the agreement."

"I have respected the accord signed between myself, ECOWAS, and other organizations."

"I will deliver to the Gambian people and if I have to rule this country for one billion years, I will, if Allah says so."

"Listen to me: Is he the only Gambian who died? Is he better than Gambians who die in accidents, Gambians who die at sea, Gambians who die on their way to Europe?"

"I will not bow down before anybody, except the almighty Allah and if they don't like that they can go to hell."

"Absolute intolerance of any form of criticism in The Gambia, with death threats, surveillance and arbitrary night-time arrests the daily lot of journalists who do not sing the government's praises."
