The
Assembly of Gambia Muslim Youths (AGAMY) is a national youth organisation with
the cardinal aim of creating an Islamic-oriented society through dialogue,
education and provision of social services.
Owing
to the current unfortunate political situation in the country, we wish to
reiterate that anything that affects the Peace and Security of The Gambia is
not only detrimental to the development of the country but also to the
wellbeing of the people.
We
note with total conviction that Islam is a religion of peace and is against any
act that triggers violence and disorder. Peace is the bedrock of every
development, be it social, economic or religious.
Convinced
by the doctrine of Islam and the teaching of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him),
AGAMY recognized the need to maintain the long-lasting peace and tranquillity
which the Gambia is known for.
With
the same inspiration, members of the organization humbly request the President,
Sheikh Professor Dr Alhaji Yahya AJJ Jammeh to maintain his first statement in
accepting the results of the 1st December presidential polls as the will of
Allah (the exalted).
While
we anticipate for a peaceful and orderly transfer of power to the
President-Elect, Adama Barrow, the Assembly asks Allah (SWT) to bless Gambians
for their peaceful conduct of the elections, and the President for what he has
done for the country.
We
further seek guidance and protection of Allah (SWT) for the President-elect
throughout his tenure in office.
May
Allah the Almighty continue to protect The Gambia and the entire Ummah through
His mercy!
