PA MALICK FAYE, DIRECTEUR DE PUBLICATION DE « DAILY
OBSERVER » DE LA GAMBIE
« Je
suis persécuté par le président Yaya Jammeh »
Le directeur de la publication du
quotidien privé gambien, « Daily Observer », Pa Malick Faye, est en
exil à Dakar, depuis la semaine dernière. Il a fui la Gambie pour échapper au
président gambien, qui lui reproche d’avoir titré sur les exécutions de
prisonniers en Gambie. Ce que le président Jammeh n’a pas aimé, avant de le
faire licencier et le contraindre à l’exil.
« Je suis persécuté et
traumatisé »
C’est ainsi qu’il a perdu son travail : « J’ai
perdu mon travail. Je suis venu à Dakar pour deux jours. Puis je suis retourné en
Gambie. Je suis revenu à Dakar ». Mais à son retour en Gambie le 7 janvier
dernier, à la frontière gambienne, dit-il, « un policier gambien du nom de
M. Ndiaye, m’appelle pour me dire qu’il a reçu mandat de la présidence pour me
cueillir. Il m’a demandé où je suis. Je lui ai dit que je suis sorti ». Plus
tard, sa femme lui a expliqué au téléphone, qu’un pick-up de la police est
venue le chercher à la maison. D’après sa femme, ils étaient cinq personnes.
Les trois sont entrées dans le salon pour l’attendre. Quand elle parlait avec
lui au téléphone, les policiers lui ont demandé de leur dire où se trouve son
mari. Si elle ne le fait pas, c’est elle qu’ils vont embarquer. Ce qu’elle n’a
pas accepté de faire, prétextant qu’elle parlait avec quelqu’un d’autre.
Prenant au sérieux les menaces de ces policiers gambiens, M. Faye a demandé à
sa femme de tout faire pour venir le
trouver à la frontière entre la Gambie et le Sénégal. C’est ainsi, qu’ils ont réussi à s’échapper et
venir au Sénégal, laissant derrière eux leurs deux enfants. Puisque sa femme a
réussi à quitter le territoire gambien, soutient Pa Malick Faye, les policiers
ont pris sa fille adoptive pour l’amener à Simakécounda à près de 10 km de
Banjul. Ils l’ont abandonnée seule là-bas en lui laissant 10 Dalasi (monnaie
gambienne équivalent à 1000 F Cfa). Auparavant, d’après ce que sa femme lui a
dit, les policiers avaient fouillé toute sa maison de fond en comble. Dépassé
par ces évènements, le directeur de la publication de « Daily
Observer », qui se dit persécuté et traumatisé, se demande pourquoi tout ce
harcèlement contre sa personne. C’est pourquoi sur les conseils de ses amis et
de sa famille, il a fui la Gambie. Parce que, dit-il, tout le monde connaît les pratiques du
président Yaya Jammeh. S’il est fâché contre quelqu’un, il fait tout pour lui
créer des problèmes. Si la personne est chanceuse, il la met en prison à vie.
Sinon, il la torture. Actuellement, Pa
Malick Faye se fait des soucis pour ses deux filles restées en Gambie :
« Il y a mes deux enfants qui sont restés là-bas. Ma femme est
traumatisée. J’essais de tout faire pour faire sortir mes enfants. Mais les
forces de sécurité ont encerclé ma maison » dit-il l’air triste.
