Gambians living overseas feel super mad after lawmakers back home say they can't vote. Many folks call this unfair and against basic rights. The anger grows bigger each day among Gambians who send money home but lose their chance to pick leaders. People wonder why their voices matter less just because they moved away.
Italy's PDOIS party leader, Saffiyong Camara, promises his group still wants to improve things. He asks people to hold politicians responsible for these choices. He sees clear discrimination. The lawmakers who should protect rights decided instead to block them. According to him, money sent from abroad helps everyone yet receives zero respect from government officials.
Mr. Drammeh believes President Barrow fights against diaspora voting because he fears losing control. He points out problems like stealing public funds, bad management, and hospitals without medicine across the country. The current leaders seem afraid of changes that might fix corruption issues. Most politicians want things to stay exactly as they are despite obvious problems everywhere.
Ndey Fama Cham speaks out from Germany, asking what terrible thing overseas Gambians did to lose voting rights. She mentions how the country's basic laws already say everyone should vote regardless of location. During tough economic times, she reminds everyone that foreign-based citizens send crucial dollars home. Right during Ramadan, many families survive thanks to money coming from relatives abroad.
Cham questions why citizens from other countries living overseas can vote but Gambians cannot. She wonders if government officials worry about how the diaspora might vote differently than people living under current conditions. She firmly believes truth will eventually come out about these unfair practices. Her voice represents thousands feeling the same frustration about being ignored.
From America, Foday Touray expected this outcome since most parliament members belong to the National People's Party. He sees lawmakers making choices that benefit themselves rather than helping regular citizens. These decisions protect powerful people instead of making life better for everyone else. The system seems designed to keep certain voices silent.
The diaspora keeps supporting everyday Gambians through hard times despite being pushed aside politically. Taking away voting rights feels like an attempt to silence critics living abroad. Touray encourages people to elect better leaders who actually care about the nation. He reminds President Barrow about how overseas supporters helped him gain power originally. After all their contributions, these same supporters face betrayal from the very government they helped create.
