Jammeh made homosexuality illegal in Gambia and said he would slit the throats of men who wanted to marry other men in Gambia.
US National Security Advisor Susan Rice said the comments were part of an "alarming deterioration of the broader human rights situation" in Gambia. "The recent unconscionable comments by Gambian President Yahya Jammeh underscore why we must continue to seek a world in which no one lives in fear of violence or persecution because of who they are or whom they love," Rice said in a statement.
Rice said the United States is concerned about reports of broader rights violations in the country, including allegations of missing US citizens.
"We are deeply concerned about credible reports of torture, suspicious disappearances, including of two American citizens -- and arbitrary detention at the government's hands," Rice said.
Rice warned the US could take action. It revoked trade preferences with Gambia last year following reports of a crackdown against the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
"We are reviewing what additional actions are appropriate to respond to this worsening situation," Rice said. "We repeat our call for the Gambian government, and all governments, to lead inclusively, repudiate intolerance, and promote respect for the universal rights and fundamental freedoms of all people."

That's what makes us Africans! Men like Yahya Jammeh should be celebrated...
Even animals have not degenerated so low as humans... May God help this generation and save our world from ungodly practices. Warriors who stand for truth are few, and though they are few, they face threats and criticism that will be too cumbersome for hordes to bear!
Stand your ground on this matter... God be with you!
USA WHY CAN"T GUYS JUST LET OTHER PEOPLE CHOSE THE WAY THEY WOULD RUN THEIR ON THING NA WAOO
MESSAGE TO ALL GAY BROTHERS TROAT IS GOING DOWN YA ALL TROAT GONNA BE CUT OFF YA NECK
FCUK Obama & the US for their F A G G O T agenda. If Gambia wants kill all the F A G G O T S in its country, its nobody's business.
Mr Obama, their country, their problem. Face yours! They dnt want Gay law so Plz respect it, everybody musn't be America!
Rice, stay in your America and practise your homo-demon there..... leave Gambians alone, Idiot.
APPARENTLY THIS GUY DOESN'T REALLY CARE.
THINK THERE WAS A SPONSORED ASSASINATION ATTEMPT ON HIM SOME MONTHS AGO...HE CAN EXPECT THAT TO TRIPLE.
US DON'T PLAY WITH THIS TOPIC, HOWEVER IT'S HARD TO SEE THEIR MORAL STANDPOINT CONSIDERING THEIR HANDS ARE ALSO NOT THAT CLEAN GIVEN THEIR ACTION IS THE NUMEROUS THEATRES THEY ARE INVOLVED IN. SO AGAIN IT'S A POT VS KETTLE THING.
What's the business of usa in every country's affair.... Mtchewwwwwww
The US can not force their alien culture on Africans. If that's condition for trade, let them hold their trade. The US is also becoming alienated in the world for it's advocacy of all forms of abominations. Their enemy base is increasing by the day. Can the US fight and defeat the rest of the world? The answer is NO! They can only victimize poor countries. If they're not hypocrites why don't they sanction Saudi Arabia where homosexuals are more unsafe than anywhere in the world? The US will walk themselves into their final destruction as they parted ways with the Godly norms of their founding fathers , and suddenly became more civilized and merciful than God (all in hypocrisy).
Consider the pheromones and endorphins released when starting a relationship, now consider how hard it is to fight the urges you have in those circumstances of attraction and how uncontrollable they are. Consider the withdrawal you face when those feelings are coming to an end. We refer to them as feelings, but the people we are attracted to are based on chemical reactions, we seek out those that are not offensive to us chemically so to speak.
It's not farfetched since most other animals advertise their sexual availability chemically, though humans seem to pretend not to be aware of these influences on ourselves, even though we are constantly going through hormonal and chemical changes and being bombarded with so many chemicals and chemical signals on a subatomic and subconscious level, that we fail to notice.
Now consider our sexual orientation defined by our chemical make-up at conception, to be what it is, with no fault of ours, and ask yourself, whether it is possible to use one's will power alone to try to challenge something innate.
Furthermore, ask yourself if it would be ethical to do so, even if it were possible to so, . if we had the know-how.
We are just understanding how pheromones, hormones and chemical signals function and affect us on a day to day basis. We do not know how everything works or interacts, this is why we need to approach certain things with an open mind.
I for one know that my brain will not send arousal signals to any part of me, in response to someone I have no perceived attraction towards. Male, or, female. There will not be any reaction unless I fool my mind into believing it should, and that takes effort.
We all react, naturally to what we are naturally attracted to. It is our nature.
Humanity is a fine tapestry of diversity.
What an hogwash!!! This is rubbish
Obama stop poke nosing
Gambian policy on gay/lesbianism is way to harsh, I hope the government will take clue from other African countries.
The US needs to mind its own business for fuck sake!!!.
LOVE THAT HE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT GAY'S ARE NOT TERRORIST JUST DAFT FOLK'S HE SHOULD TOLERATE IT OR FACE JIHADIST
wow aren't cops killing black people in numbers in the US? what the hell is she on about safety of human lives?! Yes slitting of throats gay people is cool but who died and made America big brother?
This US people should go very far and sit down joor. That country have destroyed alot than they have built. How dare they tell another leader what law to put in place? Nonsense! If it were in US, Obama wouldn't be needing permission from other leaders before putting any law into practice. Please they should mind their country abeg. Homosexuals are very useless people , because i don't see why any body should be attracted to a fellow man or woman and still wish to bore children like Homosexuals always do.
Haha i laugh in Spanish 😁 Waytin concern US nw biko
Thunder fire US
Thunder fire US
Fuck the US

The world is coming to an end, let him who have ears hear what the spirit of God is saying. All these are already written in the book of revelation as the sign that the world is coming to an end. If you are yet to receive Christ into your life pls receive now and save yourself from eternal death.
Y is America interfering, d man sed e no want, e no want no ni? Must every country accept gay ppl. America shud restrict dia sodomy to demselves joo
#*Karlishah*
Gambian president pls let ur decision be enacted in ur countries constitution, cox is well and correct, ur decision is cool, . Americans should stop corrupting other countries.
Abeg make us face their country. Gay relationship is foreign to Africa both by culture or religion. They can't force Africa into accepting it. That's how obama tried to stop GEJ from passing it into law. We go soon know there interest in Nigeria .
What is the business of the U.S. with the government of the Gambia? How often has the Gambia poked their nose in the U.S. government affairs?
Hypocrite! US should say the same thing to Saudi Arabia and others.
USA warning them doesn't make any sense.. Are they ready to be supplying their country with free diapers when their ass start leaking?.. Biko US face your country o!.. Every country must not support it..because not all country is as rich as u. Some families can't even afford 3-square meal a day talkless of diapers..

Us,make una go sitdown 4 1 corner.d man don talk wetin him want.if una like,make una comot una citizen 4 dere.make una no cum turn him country 2 sodom n gomorah
The US is right for their concern for their missing citizens, they can equally go ahead and f**k the hell out of one another's a**es but they should leave Gambia alone with their laws. Must everyone welcome homosexuality? Rubbish!
US warns Gambian President to be more tolerant of homosexuals or else face consequences.
This made me laugh.
It should be:
US warns Gambian President to be a homosexual, or else face PAINFUL consequences and forced sodomization at Guantanamo Bay.
lol
US should learn how to respect the choices of other nations when it comes to homosexuality.. but this man though, slit throat?? Has ur madness gotten to this stage??
Must the US make every other people believe in their unholy ideology in the name of human right? Mr. Jammeh na jazz man o! No dey fear..
Gambia president's remarks were to harsh, but the US are always to quick to respond to LGBT problems and when there were xenophobic attacks in south Africa, why didn't they react quickly?
Biko US should stop interfering in other countries affairs mostly Africa countries.
Shoro niyen!
His comment was completely out of line. As a public figure and leader, you don't make terroristic threats like that...
US government should go hell. Why do they insist on interferring with other countries cultures and government. I am sure they are over joyed about the recent marriage of the Luxembourg prime minister.
Wetin de wrry am seeeef who gave him the right to sniff out human life when he deems fit??mchheeeew useless president
America is a good example of a terrible degradation of human rights. It is hypocritical that they uphold universal human rights and yet brazenly abuse d dignity and value of d same rights. As modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, they will see d wrath of God. Sooner, they will be looking for other countries visa lottery. Obama and his likes will not escape d judgement of God.
Barrack Obama. Just because gay people voted for you in the last US election doesn't mean that you should impose them on everyone/every country. Pls mind your business. You tried to impose them on Nigeria and it didn't work. That is why you hated Jonathan's government. Well, news flash. It will never work in Nigeria and if Buhari pushes for the "act" that was passed on gay rights in Nigeria to be revoked then we will surely know that he sold out as PDP had insinuated
ommunity cohorts can go to hell and shove their stupid dead stinking demonic culture up their pathetic asses...we Africans say no to such barbaric act of sex against the order of nature
Evil country dat turned ma close childhood friend Gay.. Presido slit dere throat
What is even this US problem?? Are they d satanists of thi time?? Can't d President make his own law again??
The man shud be careful not just for him
but for his country.
Na gambia una dey give threat like dis??cuz dem be africans abi? mugabe is coming for y'all white ass.#SayNo2Homosexuality
USA stfu & mind ur business.
Like that old man Mugabe, he too may not care about sanctions and may decide to tell the US to sord off, which is easier said since he won be affected. As a president there will never be shortage of resources for his welfare and security but sanctions by other countries affect the ordinary people and regular citizens of the country, so when they are playing this tough guy they need to remember who elected them. Homosexuality yes maybe irritating to some, but they are people!!! too, lack of exposure is affecting some of these leaders in the name of religion and tradition.
Am in full support, kill them wen u catch them
Im from gamvia. This guy does not get scared... he believes his juju can destroy any nation.... but other big countries like america should clean up their police prb too. Quick to comment on other ppl. He did rip up a letter from the UN warning him to fix up and sent a video back
No wonder they hated Jonathan. What is their business what they choose to accept and what they choose not to accept. Anyways, it's cos they are the world power and have trade rights with almost every african country dat they can threaten them. Dis 1 u guys supported buhari, dnt even have hopes dat he'l rescind the 14 years given to LGBT community,if anything he myt even be harsher.
Who made us world judge? Only God knws wat gmb had signed wit dem for dem to support him. USA face ur country. Endtime is so near
Americans should try to mind their biz, d guy doesn't want homosexuals in his country abi wahala dey there. Dave now Daniel Craig
Please America as the world super power and protector of human rights, where police shoot's at people whose only crime is the colour of their skin. Provide visa for all homos to come and live in your country so as to have a good example of Sodom and Gomorrah and stop middling in other countries affairs simply because it's an African country say that to north Korea or Russia
A question I've always wanted an answer to is...who really suffers when economc and political sanctions are placed on countries. It's certainly not the dictators they are trying to punish. Or am I missing something? International affairs majors/experts please chime in. Thanks.
Why would a man want to fuck the anus of his fellow man. The vagina was designed for sex not the anus.
I just cant deal!!!
#Walking pass and shaking my bombom# rubbish!
If this was North Korean would you guys say anything? You approved gay marriage another country disapprove it, why cant you respect the constitution of that country like they respected yours? I do not condone killing of a humanbeing cus of their choice of sexual preference but stop acting like big brother unto other people country
The same USA that are signing anti gay laws for businesses in the southern states. Remove the log in your own eye first.
I don't support cruelty to homosexuals but biko, what's US own. Please is Obama secretly gay?
In as much as i don't understand how one becomes gay thingy, slitting their throats isn't d best.
Imagine that...the world is really turning upside down....#BetaDaysAhead4Nigeria
Of course, Linda Ikeji the number one homosexual blog in Nigeria will carry the news. We are watching your active involvement in promoting homosexual propaganda in Nigeria and very soon you will know that supporting evil does you no good.
@ US Shoro niyen
Ewu gambia
US should take several seats abeg... Gambian govt don't want gay so they should deal wit dat.... If dey try anything stupid, dey will face d wrath of God
Mumu. And you have the guts to add 'Dr' to your name.
Lets look at this matter squarely. US has laws that forbids people, citizens and non-citizens from doing certain things on their land which they enforced to be respected. Why then is US trying or forcing Gambia to support a way of life that abuses human existance. If the US is truely the world's moral leader, then they should do what they can to discourage homosexuality and lesbianism. How can any of us come to be if this has been an acceptable way of life. Even God, of which America is God's own land , according to her slogan, forbids it. Therefore, US, leave Gambia alone. It is simple, if u'r an homosexual or lesbian avoid Gambia or don't practice it there if you choose not to forsake such life style. Respect to nature!
Anon 2:00, if all U homos think Nigeria is a ground for U, think again. If U like call everybody mumu, we shall soon know who's the biggest mumu.
USA encouraging evil
@Subomi, take note homosexualism is not "irritating" as U chose to water it down (probably bc U r one of them), it is an abominable practice that threatens human existence on earth. Have U ever thought of what will happen to procreation and human population on earth should this practice engulf the whole world? It is an evil masterminded by satan using his willing human agents to achieve two major things:
1. Call God a liar and negate all His status about humanity
2. Slowly and clandenstinely wipe out humanity from the earth by stopping procreation which is the only way human population is replenished on earth in line with God's ordinance.
So @Subomi, open ur eyes. God will judge all homosexuals and their advocates here on earth and after life. Make no mistakes about it.
@Zina, its not about writing in capital letters.Stop fooling urself U and ur homosexual community , homosexualism has no place in Nigeria and black Africa. Better go and reside in the US which is our modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
The US can not force their alien culture on Africans. If that's condition for trade, let them hold their trade. The US is also becoming alienated in the world for it's advocacy of all forms of abominations. Their enemy base is increasing by the day. Can the US fight and defeat the rest of the world? The answer is NO! They can only victimize poor countries. If they're not hypocrites why don't they sanction Saudi Arabia where homosexuals are more unsafe than anywhere in the world? The US will walk themselves into their final destruction as they parted ways with the Godly norms of their founding fathers , and suddenly became more civilized and merciful than God (all in hypocrisy).
US should keep their warning to themsef it not needed, and necessary. They can not run their country for them.
US and the way they poke nose into people's matter. That aside, must you skin the lgbt?? Are you God that you shd judge. People shd stop being hypocrites.
@Anon 7:03. U are obviously a homosexual. Pls don't try to sell it to others because ur explanations does not hold any water in as much as animals don't practice homosexuality. Homosexuality is sub-human. Animals are wiser and more dignified than U and ur delusive philosophy and practice.
Why fear no let USA harrass Islamic countries where they stone gay people to death and treat them like shit. Na Africa them dey get power. If na Islamic country, fear no go let USA put mouth. Na because Ghambia na black country. Them don see black people finish. Smtchew
Although i am against the killing of gay, but it is not US business. African countries do no prior into their business. Do they think we are still slaves that they can control? Abeg make them face their country. Everybody is now enlightened and wise. So they should not try to come and colonise again. But then, some of these gay people might be under a spell or it may be spiritual problem. So i think the Ghambian president was too harsh sha.
US will soon find a way to kill dis man...
God told Abraham in the bible to go into the world and multiply. He did not tell Abraham to fuck another man in his anus. How do u multiply if not with women
The way i see this Ghambia president face, he no send anybody oh. Na una own una dey talk for there. See him strong face like juju. Lmao!
Olumide I think you are a guy?
Ask Me O
What is wrong with you people,who ever mis interpreted this right to live thing,what's so civilized about doing something wrong,the fact that we trying to be more accommodating shouldn't kill all morals,why justify a wrong idea just to feel liberal....we will give account of what ever life we live on earth...if you think death is the end then I mock you,do things you will be proud of.stop thinking you are being civilized its foolishness Ok...
Wats USA's prob n biz abt Gambia's issue? Make den take back seat jare
Funny how a 14 year old kid has been locked up in Gambia since december cos his father took part in a coup but America hasn't said anything about that since their citizens were involved in the coup. But they are consistent in raising their voices anytime Yaya Jammeh says any anti gay slur. DEMONS
The Gambia president's statement was rather uncalled for, considering his status. But why is USA interfering with the way Africans choose to deal with these lesbian/gay issue? What are their plans?
#TeamBlessed#
Make US go sidon one side o jare
na wa for them
Filthy usa run ur country and let yahaya run his...judgement is coming to burn all the fagots in the USA to ashes
Are u all stupid? Don't u remember how d Rwandan Genocide began?? How can a president of a Country says he will indiscriminately kill a potion of his citizens and wat u have to say is why is USA involved? They shld wait until they start slaughtering suspected gays in d streets? #morons
Y are you this dumb. Huh?? @ Dr David and Anon 2:37
Most homophobics here are either gay or Bi. U guys think being gay is the worst sin committed by man.if u think tht way u are so crazy. A 40 year old man rapes a 4 year old girl Vs an innocent gay boy discovering himself. think right people. Dnt discriminate...
