Amir Sillah Urges Gambians To Unite For A Successful OIC Summit

With less than two weeks before the country hosts the 15th OIC summit, the Amir of Al Karaama Society, a reading and scholar group promoting Gambian literature, has said the successful hosting of next month's summit is a burden on every Gambian's shoulder and not just the government.

Speaking to The Standard, Amir Yaya Sillah said the summit will provide a unique chance for small Gambia to prove to the world what it is capable of.

“Although The Gambia is small in size, our hospitality is supreme and well recognised in Africa and beyond. I want to make a special call to imams and community leaders to preach unity and peace which are essential for a successful summit in our country,'' he said.

Sillah said The Gambia and the OIC have a long history with the country playing a key role in the formation and early life of the organization with former president Jawara becoming chairman of the OIC Peace Committee in 1974.
