This is a remarkable story.Does anyone think Gambian Opposition leaders will learn from Ivory Coast? Sound off! Are we doomed or is there hope? Does the rhetoric at the bantaba represent the views of the leaders on the ground?

| I really hope they do. Alhassane Ouattara has really showed when people come together for a common cause. |

""People choose and their choice should be respected," Jatta said, adding that when the choice of the people is not respected, it results in ceaseless conflicts.""Ivory Coast is now divided, with two governments. This cannot continue, and it is a continuation of what had happened in Kenya and now in Ivory Coast; they will say lets form a government of national unity."
"Ivory Coast is now divided, with two governments. This cannot continue, and it is a continuation of what had happened in Kenya and now in Ivory Coast; they will say lets form a government of national unity."
The Gambian opposition leader added that this will not be a government of national unity, but a government that will deny and suppress the fundamental and supreme will of the Ivorian people.
He noted that, as members of the National Assembly, it is their role to make sure that constitutions and the rule of law are respected.
"This must be done, because we all swore in this very building that we will defend the constitution of The Gambia," he added.
This, he says, is the reason why it is binding on parliamentarians to strive to defend the constitution, failure of which will result in conflicts, citing Ivory Coast as an example.
He called on fellow parliamentarians to come together when such situations occur, and make sure that the rule of law and the constitution are respected.
