NYARIKANGABANA ITS REALLY PATHETIC & ARROGANCE TO BE FORCEFUL WITH YOUR VIEWS! DO YOU THINK YOU ARE HELPING UDP? ITS A DISGRACE WITH THIS KIND OF NEW BREED & ELITES LIKE YOU; ADDRESSING NATIONAL ISSUES WITH SARCASTIC COMMENTS 
HOW MANY TIMES DID I REMIND TRIED TO CONTAIN YOUR POMPOSITY AND ATTACKING OTHER OPPONENTS AS "BIGOTS"; TO FORGET YOUR VERY SELF AS THE WORST BIGOT
HERE WE GO AGAIN ON DICTIONARY MEANING TO SEE HOW IT FITS & WHETHER YOU CAN ABUSE OTHERS AS BIGOTS
"BIGOT" MEANING a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion."
WE ARE ALL AWARE & DON'T CHALLENGE THAT DARBOE IS UDP LEADER & NOMINATED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE! OUR PROBLEM IS MOBILISATION & STRATEGIES FOR ALL OPPONENTS AGAINST JAMMEH/APRC FOR 2011 ALSO YOUR UDP POLITICAL CAUSE IS NOT A NATIONAL CAUSE AS THERE ARE OTHER STAKEHOLDERS (FOR CITIZENS TO EXERCISE THEIR POLITICAL RIGHTS)!
THERE ARE ON RECORD SERIES & ENOUGH DOCUMENTATION OF ARGUMENTS/COUNTER-ARGUMENTS; ESPECIALLY WITH YOU (KEY PROPONENT/ARCHITECT OF UDP OVERSEAS MILITANCY-UK, USA, SWEDEN) AND OTHER KEY MILITANTS; DERAILING US FROM RESOLVING DIFFENCES IN POSTURE OF DIFFERENT OPPOSITION PARTIES, RESOLUTIONS ON STRATEGIES (INCLUDING FORMIDABLE UNITED FRONT/COALITION/MERGER) & WINNING FORMULA AGAINST JAMMEH/APRC
THERE CAN'T BE ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS ARTICLE & A GOOD PRESENTATION TO MOBILISE OPPOSITION & ALL OPPONENTS TOWARDS THE COMMON GOOD FROM FREEDOM ONLINE NEWSPAPER Gambia : Gambia’s Opposition Shocks!By Khalifa Gibba. UNDER http://www.freedomnewspaper.com/Homepage/tabid/36/mid/367/newsid367/5894/Gambia--Gambias-Opposition-Shocks/Default.aspx
THIS IS WHAT UDP LEADER SAID & REPRESENTS UDP OFFICIAL POSITION & A CHALLENGE FOR US (ALL OPPONENTSTO FOCUS ON;
"We ask all our citizens to be an integral part of the change they seek by getting involved in whatever capacity suits them.Change is always a difficult task and along the way it is easy to become despondent, fearful, tired, angry, and sometimes be tempted to throw in the towel. But because the cause we have embarked upon is a just one that must be pursued, we must all strive harder to achieve these important goals. We however, can do it only if we come together as one and face the opponent. This cause is bigger than any individual or group of individuals." Lawyer Ousainou Darboe UDP Leader
AGAIN FROM ABOVE; "These issues in Gambia will take the efforts of all of us to tackle them." UDP-USA Lamin R. Darboe Chairman |

Kobo;
There is a big difference between Nyari’s and Lamin R. Darboe’s response. Level headed Political discussions require maturity and Nyari has a long way to go before any reasonable person can describe his approach to politics as mature. Nyari is alienating the very people UDP needs. The likes of Lamin R. Darboe should be the face of UDP on line, sooner rather than later the likes of him will be the new breed I have been talking about.
I am a progressive Gambian and I call it like I see it. If UDP makes a sovereign decision and the people reject that decision time and time again then I think the people making that decision ought to think twice and fast.
Blind loyalty is a major problem in Gambian politics. If a crazy idea like encouraging Yahya Jammeh’s kingship can happen in Gambia then anyone can be a die hard Darboe supporter no matter what
What we need is politic of ideas, not identity and definitely not personality politics.

Senegambia. THERE ARE DIVERGENCE OGF OPINIONS & THOUGHT PROVOCATING POINTS ALWAYS COMING-UP AS ON-GOING DEBATES ARE OPEN FOR ANY IDEA, VIEWS AND COMMENTS. WE JUST NEED TO BE LEVEL-HEADED
FACTS & ISSUES WE SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE AS FOLLOWS;
1. WE RESPECT THAT ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES HAVE BEEN GRANTED THE MANDATE TO LEAD THEIR PARTIES & CONTEST AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES!
2.ALL OF THEM ARE NOMINEES, ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES & ELECTABLE IN THIS HIGH OFFICE OF PRESIDENCY & NO ONE IS MORE PRIVILEGED THAN OTHERS!
3. ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES & ALL OPPONENTS SHARE A COMMON GOAL.
4. A FRAGMENTED OPPOSITION CAMP IS A MASSIVE BLOW & NO OPPOSITION PARTY CAN MAKE IT ON ITS OWN!
5. RIPPING EACH OTHER WITH MEDIA CAMPAIGN, PROPAGANDA & ALL THESE ON-LINE RAMBLINGS ARE NOT THE SOLUTIONS!
6. IN ANY GIVEN ELECTIONS THE STAKES ARE ALWAYS HIGHER WITH UDP LEADERSHIP TO BOOST THEMSELVES! SO WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO FORMALISE (BY CORRESSPONDENCE & INVITATION LETTER) FOR A NATIONAL DIALOGUE & MEETINGS FOR ALL OF THEM TO SIT & NEGOTIATE ACROSS THE TABLE; FOR RECONCILING, STRIKE A COMPROMISE, FORMULATE SOUND RESOLUTIONS, STRATEGIES & A PACT FOR 2011 IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION; IF THEY WANT TO DEFEAT JAMMEH/APRC

What really nyari wants to say:
quote:
Mr. Bigot, the truth is; if jammeh wins the 2011, it would mean he would have won anyway regardless of who the candidate[s] is/are since Darboe is the strongest in the entire opposition circle. This talk about his votes not being enough when there is no other candidate who gets anything closer to his is an idiocy.
WHEN jammeh wins the 2011, we want to get as much as votes possible to remain the biggest opposition party in Gambia. We are realistic that we can’t win the election and not interested in changing the current regime. Our objective is to remain the biggest opposition party in Gambia.
quote:
The approach should be how to make his votes enough to topple Jammeh. If you don't want to be part of that, then shut up and give us a break.
The approach should be hiding Darboe’s weaknesses from the voters. We already know we are not going to win the election, but any criticism of Darboe will result less vote, and put our objective as being the biggest opposition party at jeopardy. So, can you please be quite and do not expose our shortcomings…. I am begging you.
quote:
Darboe is not indispensible and when the time comes to replace him, the UDP will deal with that accordingly and in a soveriegn matter.
We already know Darboe is not capable. But we don’t have any alternative at the moment. However, it does not matter what the public opinion, we know better than what the voters says. As a sovereign party leadership, we disregard public opinion i.e. raised in bantaba.
quote:
However, this is not our focus at the moment. The UDP has an election to contest this year with Darboe as a candidate. That is what our focus is and it should be what your focus should be as well unless you are aiming for yet another five years of Jammeh.
This is our candidate, we dictate that you this is the only way to get the most vote to remain biggest opposition party in Gambia. Any objection about Darboe will undermine our efforts. Please be hushed and don’t expose our leader’s weaknesses.
quote:
The soveriegn decision of the UDP CONGRESS remains unquestionable. That is democracy, and I certainly have no apologies for stating that. If people do not want Darboe to stand, they would not have elected him as leader. So who the hell are you to question that decision? What makes you think you know better?
Our understanding of democracy is ‘majority’ of party members. We are an oligarchic party and if we are ever elected, we will continue to disregard public opinion. Our proposal is to bring a totalitarian regime of UDP to the Gambia. Who the hell public opinion, and as a voter you are questioning our virtue of politics. The voters and public are insignificant, we know better. The voters’ job is just to support our candidate regardless whether the candidate is good or not. We are the shepherd; voters are not capable of what the criteria of being good leader.
quote:
If Jammeh wins the next election, that would not be a UDP problem per se but a Gambian problem. Those who don't recognise this are the very ones who would like to see another five years of JAMMEH.
WHEN Jammeh wins the next election that is not UDP problem. You must understand, we, as UDP, have the authority to select the leader and determine the policies, but WHEN we can’t accomplish winning the election, we don’t take any responsibility of failure. Other words, we are happy to have the authority, but we are not willing to take the responsibility of failure to change the regime.
If you don’t support us, you support Jammeh. That is how we see it. You are either with us or with them. (From Dubya)
quote:
UDP's role is to present Gambians with the strongest possible alternative candidate -it will be up to Gambians to either elect or not elect that candidate-, and that candidate is none other than A.N.M Ousainou Darboe.
Our duty is to present the strongest candidate possible. Since we don’t have the strongest candidates as we are bunch of loserz, you will have to accept the santa-clause. You are not in a position to raise your dissatisfaction as a voter.
quote:
Absolutely no doubt about that.
We have to be sure that we looked determined to support our candidate and looked confident.

RELATED BANTABA GAMBIAN POLITICS TOPIC Statement of UDP USA UNDER http://www.gambia.dk/forums/topic.asp?whichpage=1&TOPIC_ID=10296#65316
VERY IMPORTANT DECISIONS & ACTIONS FOR ANY PROGRESS; IN FAVOUR OF ALL OPPONENTS DEPENDS ON FOLLOWING;
1. RESOLVING LEADERSHIP & UNITY UNDER ONE UMBRELLA! WE RESPECT THAT ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES HAVE BEEN GRANTED THE MANDATE TO LEAD THEIR PARTIES & CONTEST AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES!
2.ALL OF THEM ARE NOMINEES, ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES & ELECTABLE IN THIS HIGH OFFICE OF PRESIDENCY & NO ONE IS MORE PRIVILEGED THAN OTHERS!
3. ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES & ALL OPPONENTS SHARE A COMMON GOAL.
4. A FRAGMENTED OPPOSITION CAMP IS A MASSIVE BLOW & NO OPPOSITION PARTY CAN MAKE IT ON ITS OWN!
5. RIPPING EACH OTHER WITH MEDIA CAMPAIGN, PROPAGANDA & ALL THESE ON-LINE RAMBLINGS ARE NOT THE SOLUTIONS!
6. IN ANY GIVEN ELECTIONS THE STAKES ARE ALWAYS HIGHER WITH UDP LEADERSHIP TO BOOST THEMSELVES!

SO IT IS BASELESS TO ACCUSE THEM AS "DISINGENUOUS" & UN-PRODUCTIVE TO ALIENATE OR OSTRACISED THEM; AS KEY STAKEHOLDERS
8. EACH PARTY SHOULD TENDER ITS AGENDA AND ALL OPTIONS CONSIDERED ACROSS THE TABLE TO SYNCHRONISED THE POLICIES UNTIL FINAL AGREEMENT, GENERAL RESOLUTIONS & PACT IS DRAWN
9.ALL OPPONENTS & OPPOSITION SHOULD EMBRACE EACH OTHER & COMBINE RESOURCES TO WORK WITH THE SPIRIT OF ONE FAMILY, PARTNERSHIP IN DEVELOPMENT & SOLIDARITY

Turk I have been designated the dumbest guy at the bantaba so I need a little bit of help. Do you think a high profile person like Femi Peters going to jail for close to a year without anyone hearing a bleep out of UDP might be a leadership failure? I am just saying.
During the witch hunt saga in 2009 Halifa laid is freedom on the line, by doing so he demonstrated one of the basic qualities of a leader. Where was Darboe when vulnerable citizens were being treated like animals. Mr I am the chosen leader of the biggest opposition was nowhere to be found. Am sorry I forgot this was the same man who ran like a chicken to seek shelter at the Senegalese Embassy before election results were announced.
UDP as a party made so many blunders; as a result Gambians do not have faith in the party anymore. When Darboe was introduced to Gambians in Brikama; UDP was at a point that it will never see again because of the Parties failures. UDP of the late 90s is dead and unless and until the part evolves it will be rendered useless in the very near future.
During the 2009 witch-hunt saga Halifa put the interest of the exploited citizens, Unlike Halifa the only time one hears from UDP leadership is during Ramadan, New Year and Eid.
Gambians deserve an in your face leader and time and time again Darboe has shown that he is timid does not have what it takes to face an incumbent African dictator. No insults will change that fact. People know Darboe is a weak leader that is why he cannot convince other opposition leaders to follow him.

touby. The reason is Darbou is under legacy of giant fighter Femi Peter. Femi has more leadership attributes than Darboe. Femi, with hearth, is more like Mandela. Darboe is more like chicken, for example, not standing up for Femi as a general of an army, not taking risk of going prison like Halifa Salah, being refugee in Senegal Consulate in Fajara.
Sorry I can't help you either. You are not alone in dumb category. This was what I said on another post.

ELECTABLE ALL PARTY LEADERS ARE ELECTABLE & ELIGIBLE TO BE CONSIDERED FLAG BEARER UNDER A UNITED FRONT/COALITION/ALLIANCE !"It is the same warped logic that is applied to PDOIS and it's founding members with similar assortment of critics demanding that Mr. Sallah and the rest of the honorable men and women who have dedicated decades of their lives to public service and trying to help in the germination of democracy are somehow inadequate to the tasks they have selflessly dedicated themselves to."UDP-USA Chairman
SINCE UDP COMMANDS LARGEST THEY (THE PARTY & LEADER) SHOULD HAVE PROVEN LEADERSHIP SKILLS TO COURT OTHER OPPOSITION PARTIES? AT THIS CRITICAL TIME THEY ARE NOT DECISIVE TO TRY TO WIN THE FAVOUR, PREFERENCE, OR GOODWILL OF OTHER OPPOSITION PARTIES; IN THE RIGHT APPROACH? IN MY OPINION THEY APPEARED TO FAILED IN THAT RESPECT; BY NOT FORMALLY ENGAGING ALL OPPOSITION PARTIES READY FOR STRATEGIC COALITION UNDER A UNITED FRONT THEY HAVE BETTER ADVANTAGES & MORE BARGAINING CHIPS THAN OTHERS, BUT ARE NOT CAPITALIZING ON THEM; DUE TO ITS RIGID AGENDA OR POSTURE
SO THERE IS CAUSE TO BLAME ENTIRE UDP LEADERSHIP FOR LACKING TACTICAL SILLS

UDP and its leadership made many blunders and the party and its leadership lack both tactical leadership skills and guts. Chief of the blunders UDP made in the past are:
Boycotting the first parliamentary election. To me this action gave way to the rubber stamp parliament we have today and probably changed Gambian politics for the foreseeable future.
In September 1996 when Mr. Darboe took refuge at the Senegalese High Commission following the declaration of the 1996 pool results he lost a lot of credibility. He claimed he feared for his life; such action speaks volumes for an aspiring leader. Unlike Mr. Darboe, Mr. Sallah decided to go to jail to highlight the injustice of the 2009 witch-hunting. These are the actions one expects to see. A leader should be in front, by applying the usual silent treatment that UDP gives to issues of national importance UDP/Darboe allowed Halifa and PDOIS to shine.
Unlike Darboe we have seen THICK SKIN STRONG opposition leaders like Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwea and Odinga of Kenya fight dictators. Darboe and the current UDP leadership do not have what it takes to fight an incumbent African dictator.
I am a former US Military Officers not very intelligent but I have experience that I believe I should share. At Officers candidate school and Military Academies; Officers preparing to go to war are thought to be ready to lead men in war by brining them along to endure and display qualities of fortitude that are beyond the average man’s thought of what he should be expected to do. Military leaders are though to be ready and willing to lead soldiers while they are hungry, uncomfortable and in great danger.
A leader has to first and foremost be ready and willing to face/go thought difficulties/trails while maintaining a level head to gain respect and convenience others to follow. It is unequivocal that this quality is missing in Darboe. Without seeing the fire in Darboe it will be hard to convince other opposition parties to follow.
Politics in Africa is a theater of war, People have to see the fire that Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwea and Odinga of Kenya have; the lack of a Soldier that is willing and capable to toe the line and face the APRC machinery is the answer to your question.
Trust me seasonal politics is not going to cut it. No one owns UDP and UDP and its Leader ship are not beyond valid criticism, it is a political organization that which has a potential to unite other opposition parties and win. UDP has the potential to free US from a dictator of the highest order.
Our dear nation and its people need a different style of leadership, a leader who can feed us with flurry of progressive policy ideas not a seasonal politics, a selfless leader who has the ability to unite a polarized nation, a strong and an inspirational leader who is capable of restoring, renewing, reviving, and reclaiming Gambia's destiny. It is high time for a new generation of leadership, a new generation of leaders who can inspire Gambians to first of all believe in ourselves and tie those believes to a higher purpose of selfless service.
It is high time for a new generation of leadership, a new generation of leaders who can inspire Gambians to first of all believe in ourselves and tie those believes to a higher purpose of selfless service.
It is high time for a new generation of leadership, a new generation of leaders who can inspire Gambians to first of all believe in ourselves and tie those believes to a higher purpose of selfless service.
It is high time for a new generation of leadership, a new generation of leaders who can inspire Gambians to first of all believe in ourselves and tie those believes to a higher purpose of selfless service.
This is my Vision and I will not stop preaching it, no insults will deter me, call me a ******, poor, uneducated, bigot, lazy, crazy, and stupid; in fact get a dictionary out and call me all the undesirable words in the English dictionary and insults will not deter me from preaching what I believe. The current CARDE of OPPOPSITION Leaders has failed our nation. My name is Malamin Fatty I am an educated man, a self made man who was born poor and I managed to so how become a senior US Government Official; no one will push me around and or dismiss me. I will say what I believe and try my level best to convince my opponent to see what is good in my position with stooping to childish insults.
My experience in life have taught me that the hall mark of a meaningful discussion is to acknowledge that which is good in others position. One of a biggest task mature people face when engaged in political discourse is the courage to respectfully disagree with others and not restore to insults. The courage to identify what in your position gives you trouble and doubts. Gambians allover the world aught sit with our selves and recognize/acknowledge the fact that the approach we are using is not working, all of US should become vulnerable and acknowledge that what we have been doing has not work.
Final Lesson for the CLEAR ONES among us not the SMART AND INTELLIGENT ones among US.
One can catch more flies with hones than vinegar.

Your hatred for the choise of hundreds of thousands of Gambians cannot be of any significance at all.
If one leaves the UDP, all of you are happy but if ten join you became sad.....
Only Rambo and Gitteh left, now why not fairly compare it with these below
........Whatever strategy adopted by the UDP, its rally in Brikama have paid dividend to attract up to twelve youths who defected from the APRC ruling party......
.......on the 24th september 2010, Nineteen people, led by one Mariama Badjie of Bakau Newtown last Sunday announced their defection from the ruling APRC party to the main opposition United Democratic Party, UDP. The seven men and twelve women, who claimed to be previously staunch members of the APRC, expressed frustration with the one-man rule that currently prevails in the country and the growing difficulties of making ends meet in the country in a well attended meeting in central Brikama, in the Western Region......... ....reported by the GAMBIA JOURNAL
NO AMOUNT CAN REDUCE THE LOVE gAMBIANS HAVE FOR THE udp. YOU AND I are here in europe and have little use to both our parties when it comes to voting because we cannot vote.So the decision of who leads is to be made by not YOU and I. |

Brother I do not have a bone of hate in my body. Darboe is good friends with my father and calls him Koto. Hate is a strong word; I do not hate Darboe. What I am doing is to highlight that fact that UDP cannot expect to be successful when it keeps offering the same person over and over. When people like me attack UDP we are not doing it out of malice. Sometimes in life you attack not to harm but to make stronger that which you attack.
2011 is a forgone conclusion; please try to use what is good in my post to make corrections next time.
I am not comparing Darboe to Hitler just making a point. Hitler was not a good leader but Germans choose him, I am questioning the rationale of presenting a leader over and over again who have many flaws and made many blunders. UDP is making a mistake by offering Darboe over and over again.
Gambians are hungry for change and UDP is our best hope, I cannot vote in any election but I am in a position to contribute massive resources to wards a campaign to uproot APRC. I can convince my circle of friends to contribute to help UDP. If the out come of SOMA congress was different; UDP would have heard from me. Trust me I know how to reach you when the time is right.
I and a lot of Gambians have lost faith and we would like to see a new UDP that is on top of issues, I cannot overemphasize how frustrated I am and hence the lasing out. I and many Gambians want to see press releases, an agenda, addressing, highlighting all the ills of APRC, standing up for the missing, the ones lambasting in jail with out trail, the ones who disappeared. UDP as the biggest party opposition party should be standing up for the rights of the people of the Gambia, highlighting the many flaws of APRC. When some one disappears, or goes to jail without trail stand up and highlight the persons’ plight.
If UDP does this even for die heart APRC supporter’s people will see a stark difference and it will attract me and the many fence sitters who you need. UDP failed to stand up for Femi Peters who is a high profile leader and you expect Gambians to rally behind you for what? Show Gambians your party is worthy of leading us from the clutches of a dictator and see what will follow. Give me a leader who is a fighter and see what happens. Doom to a nation without prophets for that nation will sooner rather than later die.
Unlike PDOIS who comes out with the list of missing Gambians and Gambians in jail without trail UDP is a silent party. Come on don’t tell me UDP does not need improvement in any of the point I am making. The party needs to be rejuvenated.
Trust me BRO I am on your side from the bottom of my heart.

Should those who wish to be politicians in the gambia be chosen by the people they represent instead of the party they belong to ?
If such a system could be devised that would ensure that that politician truely represents the PEOPLE who chose him for his qualities and not just for some party idea socialism etc.etc.his political career could be ended by THE PEOPLE if he fails to deliver what he has promised,I have yet to see any mention of POLICIES within the present system as has been stated before its more about personalities than policies. Any Comments from a politico ?
I would like to think there may be,not being a member of any party I expect that there will be no comments. |

Mr Balde highlighted a big problem in Gambin Politics; that is Loyalty to the head of a party and not the best interest of the party. PPP is in the graves because of an approach to politics.
We should be banded by ideas and the best interest of the country. Elect the most qualified regardless of tribe. Progress comes when the best and the brightness are allowed to lead.
We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history. APRC came to power by the barrel of a gun, the governing party is enjoying something they have never dreamt of and they will not leave without serious efforts from progressive Gambians.
Wa Salam.
