President Yahya Jammeh’s security officers who have become known for their thuggery attacked peaceful protesters in Washington, D.C. last night. As a result of the attack, journalist Fatou Camara and Ousainou Mbenga were rushed to the hospital while a member of Gambian leader’s security was taken for questioning.
We have also been informed that Metropolitan police did not only cordoned off President Jammeh’s Hay Adams hotel area but also sought for reinforcement. Jammeh’s blood-thirsty security personnel were also accused of being impolite to the police saying “we don’t care.”
Kairo News was further informed that Fatou and Mbenga have sustained injuries during the attack. This resulted to the questioning of President Jammeh’s security officer Pierre Minteh.
Fatou Camara, the former Director of Press and Public Relations at State House, was illegally detained in the Gambia for 25 days before fleeing into exile to escape Jammeh’s wrath. Kairo News could not independently confirm the media queen’s injuries. She was targeted for attack by a member of Jammeh’s security on Tuesday who threatened her life.
Fatou Camara was reportedly delighted to be among protesters who held President Jammeh hostage in his hotel for more than 12 hours. Fatou’s presence at a Washington event made Jammeh so uncomfortable that he (Jammeh) asked the United States secret service to evict her.
Gambian activists have achieved their goal of making life horrible for a man who continues to hold their country and its people hostage.
Kairo News will do its best to reach to the bottom of the story and keep its readers posted on unfolding developments.

Fatou Camara with her true mandinka virtue. I am proud of you sis. I heard another strong mandinka woman, Fatou jaw Manneh, also been true to her nyancho virtue did a balangba at the protest site. She was subsequently invited to attend Obama’s press conference.
Jammeh cannot and will destroy Mandingo pride in The Gambia. Yes, some mandinkas will succumb but not all of us no matter what.
Thanks

Hey guys, do you know that when Fatou Jaw Manneh was arrested in The Gambia in 2007, she was asked to write a letter to jammeh and apologise to him so that she can be set free and charges dropped against her. She refused and told her relatives to look after her children should she be killed as she was prepared to die rather than to give in to Jammeh’s bullying. What a true Nyancho!!!
You remember when the the invaders over rang the kansala fortress in the mandinka kingdom of Kaabu and almost defeated the mandinka army, many nyanchor women committed suicide over fears of loosing the war and the loss of sovereignty that was to come with it. That same spirit lives in a modern nyanchor in the person of Fatou jaw Manneh albeit in a different way. The mandinka army ended up repealing that attack and thereby winning the war.
Thanks
