The Freedom Radio & Newspaper Unfair Criticisms of the UDP
UDP UK has taken notice of the Freedom Newspaper editorial of 23rd January 2011 and radio broadcast of 25th January 2011, and is very much appalled by the grotesque tribal innuendo, malice, smearing and blatant lies that were being peddled by the presenter and a particular contributor against the UDP and its leader. In the interest of civility and to avoid the danger of inciting others, we have decided not to mention them here.
We find it particularly insulting to the elected officials of the party and to those delegates who constituted the 2010 Jarra Soma Congress that elected the National Executive of the UDP, the insinuation that the party is being run by a particular U.S based brother of its leader. We do not know of any Ousainou Darboe family member who is a member of any of the decision-making or other organs of the party i.e. The National Executive, The Central Committee, The Women’s Wing and The Youth Wing, or an occupier of an elected office in the party. We therefore wonder how any member of the said family can possibly shovel aside all the constituted structures of the party and effectively take charge without being given a mandate. This is clearly inconceivable. The truth is; the United Democratic Party [UDP] is not run in the U.S but in Banjul, The Gambia, and by those elected by the party’s congress, with Lawyer Ousainou Darboe as the elected leader and Secretary-General. Any suggestion to the contrary is nothing but an utter nonsense.
UDP USA, like all other UDP chapters, is a support group that is open to all Gambians including members of the Ousainou Darboe family. All that the party ask of such groups is for them to be formulated on the basis of democratic principles and the ideals of the UDP. There is no suggestion that UDP USA did not meet these requirements. In fact, it has.
The idea that those who have long residence in a particular jurisdiction should be the ones charged with the running of the chapter in that jurisdiction is preposterous and clearly not compatible with the required observation of the fundamental tenets of democracy and democratic representation. As long as they are chosen by the general membership in a democratic and transparent manner, those running the chapter have an unquestionable mandate and should be allowed to perform their duties unhindered, regardless of the length of their residence or abode in that particular jurisdiction. All other members, irrespective of how they vote in the selection process, should respect this outcome and work towards promoting unity and solidarity within the chapter and the larger followership of the UDP. This is the expectation.
UDP UK considers the dispute that has become the subject of bigotry in the Freedom Newspaper & Radio, as a matter between a valued Supporter of the UDP, Mr. Falia Baldeh, and the U.S Chapter but not a UDP feud. We shall be contacting our U.S partners including Mr. Baldeh, to offer our candid advice and mediation.
While recognising the validity of the reasons behind the UDP USA’s statement of 22nd January 2011, we reject any notion that individual support for the UDP is somehow measured by some form of litmus test, whether pecuniary or otherwise. UDP is a free democratic party that is aspiring to nurture a free society. Therefore, anybody can join or support the party without being subject to a code of conduct or some form of condition[s]. Notwithstanding this, those who claim to be members or supporters of the party but who then go on to show contempt for the party’s internal democracy as engendered by its constitution and the election process proscribed there under, must also realise that they are merely putting their loyalty to the party into question and thereby exposing themselves to legitimate criticism. This is the issue between Mr. Falia Baldeh and the U.S Chapter. It has nothing to do with Mr. Baldeh’s right or the alleged curtailment of that right, to criticise the UDP leader or his style of leadership. Neither is it about the tolerance or lack of it, of UDP USA. It is about the exercising by other equally valued UDP supporters, of their right to defend the integrity of the democratic process that led to the election of Lawyer Ousainou Darboe as Secretary-General and Party Leader.
Suffice it to say, Lawyer Darboe, in his capacity as Secretary-General and Party Leader, is and has always been steadfast in will and resolute in purpose. Inter alia, it is this kind of unique qualities that earned him re-election at the Soma Congress of 2010. Thus, his being the party leader is as a result of the unanimous decision taken by the sovereign congress of the UDP, and that decision is beyond questioning.
In every democratic system, the sovereign will of the people as expressed in a democratic process is always respected. Thus, there is nothing wrong in the UDP U.S.A’s insistence that this be the case in the UDP and its overseas chapters.
The purpose of this statement is only to clarify issues and set the records straight. Therefore, no one should expect any form of razzmatazz between UDP UK and the Freedom Newspaper & Radio.
Pa Nderry’s declared crusade and insolence against the Mandingos cannot be a subject of our national discuss as that is purely a matter between him and the sons and daughters of the Mandingo ethnic group.
The End.

There is no question that the soon-to-retire senior citizen Darboe is elected with 'sovereign' (lol) will of members of UDP. Yes. In terms of legal perspective, Darboe's leadership is unquestionable. And no one is questioning that. However, people, not the members of UDP, people who are going to vote and seeking alternative option to the current regime, are questioning Darboe's lack of qualifications in terms of political skills, knowledge, leadership skills, and most important intangible skills like being a 'army general' for example, instead of seeking asylum in a foreign country's embassy. Their questioning IS NOT from legal perspective. Their questioning is from HUMAN CAPITAL perspective. |

MOST OF THE STATEMENTS APPEAR TO BE ABUSE OF POSITION, DECLARATIONS OF PERSONAL VENDETTA, THREATENING AND PROMISE OF VENGEANCE; ESPECIALLY CLOSING REMARK IS OUT OF ORDER IN MY OPINION  TRIBALISM HAS NO PLACE IN THESE REMARKS FROM UDP LEADER; "This cause is bigger than any individual or group of individuals".
ANY MILITANCY OR POLITICAL ACTIVISM WITHOUT A GOOD CAUSE IS FUTILE UDP EXIST FOR A NATIONAL CAUSE AND SHOULD NOT BE HIGH-JACK BY ANY INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS

Let's not beat on Nyari, some of his observations are valid points. Case in point; freedom had a hand in the disintegration of NADD. He clearly has an agenda and plays favorites.

THESE ARE PERSONALISED AND CAN HAVE VERY SERIOUS BACKLASH; IN MY OPINION LISTEN TO ON-GOING FREEDOM RADIO LIVE DISCUSSIONS AND HEAR FIRST HAND INFORMATION ON WHO SAID WHAT (FROM UDP CAMP & IMPRESSION GIVEN BY THEM)TO DIFFERENTIATE THE PERSONAL ISSUES WITH PA NDERRY; COORDINATING A RADIO PROGRAMME. HE IS ONLY SERVING AS A MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSMITTING WHAT IS SAID & ALLEGATIONS BY THOSE SO-CALLED UDP MILITANTS BASED IN NEW YORK?
THE CONFLICT IS INTERNAL UDP MATTER ("UDP New York Coordinator Pa Saikou Kujabi Disowns UDP USA Chapter—Saying It's Not The Party’s Official USA Chapter)" BETWEEN UDP-NEW YORK CHAPTER AGAINST UDP-USA CHAPTER; OF VARIOUS CAMPS |

IN SEVERAL INSTANCES YOU CARE LESS ABOUT TAKING THINGS INTO YOUR OWN MENTALITY & ABUSE OF YOUR POSITION WITH TIRADES OF INSULTS, SWEARING & DIS-GUSTING REMARKS! YOU CANNOT RUN A PARTY IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL TERMS AS AN INDIVIDUAL DAFFEH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES HAS AN OPEN-DOOR POLICY FOR ANYONE THAT WANTS TO JOIN THEM! YOU MAY POINT OUT ANY GAMBIAN POLITICAL PARTY THAT DOES NOT HAVE AN OPEN-DOOR POLICY
A VERY ORGANISED POLITICAL PARTY IS EXPECTED TO HAVE INGENUITY TO CONCEPTUALISE A "CODE OF CONDUCT" THAT DEFINE ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES TO GUIDE & PROTECT ITS MEMBERS; WITHIN ANY FRAGILE POLITICAL SITUATION & AS SOUND BASIS OF DEFENCE FOR ANY GIVEN LEGAL SITUATION WITH THAT; EACH MEMBER OF A PARTY IS AWARE OF THE PARTY IDEALS, RULES, BASIC DISCIPLINE, DUTY, ROLES! & AGREEING TO CONFORM OR ADHERING TO ACCEPTABLE STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOUR OR CONDUCT. ALSO REMEMBER WE ARE IN 21st CENTURY AND OUR COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE LEFT BEHIND
"SAAGA", "HAZTEH" AK "HIBAATEH" = ARROGANCE, SWEARING & INSULTS ARE AGAINST PDOIS CODE OF CONDUCT
Code of Conduct defined: "a set of conventional principles and expectations that are considered binding on any person who is a member of a particular group"
YOU HAVE TO RUN A POLITICAL PARTY ON SOUND ORGANISATION STRUCTURE AND ANY RELEVANT INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT & DYNAMISM!
ANYWAY LET UDP PUT ITS HOUSE IN ORDER |

Terangba, Just like the D100,000.00 and other remittances made to the UDP, the observations here are not mine. I just happen to be the guy who put them on paper, and that is part of my role as Secretary-General of UDP UK. Therefore, it is unfair to others that you are giving the credit only to me. You made a good point though about the freedom newspaper and the guy running it.

Turk if you know mile2 prison then you will understand darboe because he dont want to go there anytime soon. behind the scene i suspected him of having a dealed with the president. one day the thruth shall come out because sooner or later when one realised darboes fake life he will do the same thing rambo and waa does. just let nyari and others keep dreaming of a fair play from the dictator while the president know 100 percent he and them are having the same fascist ideas. listen to freedomnewspaper nowadays, people like me who are dreaming of change have been scared by this udp family gangsters that where hidden behind the scene. |

TERANGBA IS SAME PERSON AND UDP MILITANT/FAN/SUPPORTER YOU REPEATEDLY ABUSED AS A "BIGOT" FOR EXPRESSING AN OPINION CERTAIN MILITANTS ESPECIALLY YOUR VERY SELF ARE NOT DEVELOPING UDP'S PUBLIC RELATIONS BUT DIS-CREDITING ITS CREDIBILITY ON-LINE REASSESS YOUR POSITION AS IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS OTHERS? YOU ARE A HATER AND ALWAYS CARE LESS TO INSULT YOUR FELLOW COMPATRIOTS AND CITIZENS
YOU HAVEN'T EVEN GOT THE POWER BUT STARTED MAKING THREATS TO CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS; CREATING PERSONAL ENEMIES AND DISPLAYING DIVIDE & RULE POLICIES AGAINST UDP IDEALS THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO LEAD OR TO RUN A COUNTRY! LEAD BY EXAMPLE |

| when a person is scared or get panick they can do things they would be amazed afterward. they give him a hand (thunghum ) and he grapped the top and make it through. the watchman or the security was wordless and couldnt do much but to accept him because seeing this event live of course is a different story. ask nyari if darboe was in a danger or why he left his supporters on the street and he run and hide like a chicken? even the biggest *****s jammeh and edward and yanks were laughing when they heard the news. they dont even get the point why darboe run and seeked refuge to the embassy. darboe when on to boycotted the parlimentary elections because of shame and pride, a action that he always regretted and thats why till now we have the bunch of comedies in the parliment. turk stopping punching now your points are so painful and udp are getting knockout. we gambians are good at annalysing and argueing but when it comes to the playing field they all run and thats why jammeh know it so much, he mastered it by head like abc. we diaspora people are good at sitting home somewhere in the west world with a nice laptop, bottle of cokacola, sweet benachin and start telling others to do the job. this udp family gangster are waiting for the work done so they can start telling other oppositions to stay away because its udp cake. udp daispora people are bunch of old stranded and hungry to show gambias their hungry bellies. all the gambian money would buy their nice haftans because many of them have old haftans in there wardrobes.having pdois in the government means no corruption and nepotism and thats what udp know exact. mark my words if there is a alliencs government lead by udp, i know exactly what ministry they will want and they will want to give pdois and others. president , vice president , finance and income tax, works and communication , nawec and ports authority they want for themselfs and the rest for the bu bus. you can fool some people sometimes but you cant fool them all the time. banjul voted jawara for the first time and then what he does later was to employed uneducated people like amang kanji aka cokakolastick and the list go on. yayah darboe is the brother of ousainou darboe, he when on freedomnewspaper been so rude at a party supporter and that make me stop having faith in udp. the yellow boys are more dangerous than the green boys. say anything to darboe and they will kill you. shame on you family gangsters. shame on you yellow boys. viva la gambia |

Fellow citizens,
I never wanted to enter into this perticular debate concerning members/symphatisers and supporters of my party.
You see one thing is clear Falai Baldeh is acitizen of the Gambia who has every right to criticise anyone based on facts or he can speculate on things.
If he is what he claims to be ie A UDP DIEHEART, then there is something wrong with Falai's judgement.
Ousainou has been selected through adult francise people's power and if Falai or anyone who loves the party as falai claims want a different person to lead the party, then they should have democratically chosen their candidate to compete against Ousainou and allow the people to choose.That falai had not done.
For him not have discussed party issues with party members to look into ways tofind a common grounds instead going to pa Ndery Mbye of all journalists surprised me more than anything.Falai is my brother in law and not even political there are fula members of UDP in the USA falai could have spoken to all these he has not done but to go to a news paper that is pro Waa Juwara is beyong surprise.
Now talking about Pa Ndery, I belief those of you who did not know Pa would question bias and unreserved hatred for UDP and its Leader.I come from the same area with Pa that is why I keep telling friends I will be the last man Pa ndery would give an interview to.Many are my witnesses when on many occations I called him for an interview and when I mentioned my name, he switches then phone on me.I only laugh because Pa is a brother and I hold nothing against him but only to show people who and what Pa Ndery Mbye stands for Some of us who knew Pa and his link to Waa Juwara since his school days would no doubt understand why anytime there comes an issue concerning Ousainou, Pa ndery would contact Lamin Waa Juwara.Pa Ndery knows and I knew when Wa stood against PPP's Waa Ceesay.What part and total allegiance his village played for Waa Juwara.It was Pa Ndery'people in Niamina who used to say to former PM during Jawara days in Nyimina L.B.Mboge that even Benechin if you squieese it hard before eating it it would shout MBOGE meaning send me into the mouth.When Waa Juwara came as an independant candidate, they switched allegiance and if Bantaba member do not know why I would tell tem and even Waa would not dare deny it.I was sent on many occations in those days by Waa to Pa's village during the campaigns with plenty gifts for his people.I have personally known Pa years and years.The guy is not genuine.I always ask myself why some people think he is a force in the struggle against the dictator? Yes he is against Jammeh which I respect him for but I would not be surprised if Pa Ndery like his master Waa Juwara one day joins Jammeh.
Only on Freedom you hear about Waa Juwara this Waa Juwara that and where else? Even APRC does not count him.Some of us related to him knows his selfish tendencies Waa truely is, a sheep in a wolves clothing, a betrayer and ambitious power hungry fellow.That was why he can's fit in the UDP.
Some of us where present when Waa Juwara was released from MILE2 and he was welcomed as a hero by the UDP whose leader was the main brain behind his release.The UDP was formed while Juwara was in jail and he didnot play or even knew of any part played that led to the party's formation.When he came, he as expected by some of us closer to him tried to either lead or distroy the party and when he failed, he was sarked and disgraced.If Ousainou had listened to Waa Juwara, today Gambians would have insulted him everyday for leading their sons/daughters/ect to their untimely deaths.Many UDP members on the 2001 presential tour knew what I am talking about.Ousainou is a real democrat and there is no doubt about that.
Fellow Gambians lets be honest and ask ourselves these questions why would Pa Ndery ask Waa Juwara about issues relating to a party he hate beyond immaginations only because he could not use that party and its membership for his political greed?
If he is an impatial journalist, there are members of the UDP he knows very well who would not hesitate to answer any questions from him if it would benefit all Gambians?
Waa belongs to his own Political party NDAM I think except if it is only a falacy that party exist only in name
All Gambians are living witnesses when Waa chose to abandon his colleuges NDAM, people who trusted him and chose him to lead them against Jammeh and not Darboe or any opposition.Without even respecting those nation loving citizens, he abandoned them when they needed him and sided with his turturer.
By that time Pa Ndery Mbye was already a journalist and all of you listeners never heard Pa Ndery Mbye said anything to castigate him or so.Let Pa Ndery tell Gambians whyyyyyyyyy
A renoun journalist he calls himself, from reporting the truth just because of love for a crook made pa no difference from the DAILY OBSERVER he openly castigates.
And now to make a mokery of himself, resently Waa came on the news lines predicting victory for Yahya Jammeh and APRC, I laugh out till my tommy was aching.
That uncle of mine has truely got problems.If as he said he is an opposition leader, who is he oppositing I ask? His fellow oppositions?
Gambians need to rethink before going on air.
The problem Falai had could have been resolved by dialogue amongst UDP/USA members and symphatisers.
Falai's going on air had brought his allegiance to the party he said he loves into serious doubt and questions would be asked by sensible thinking people who is he and what does he really represent?
A lot of close family and friends have made these points clear to falai and I hope he heeds their advice.
All the same I want to take this oppotunity to thank Mr. Saikou Mballow plus all members of the UDP/USA for their maturity and love for the party.Sometimes when thing blew up some people jump to conclussion before thinking and I hope Falai regain his senses sooner rather than later.
As for those who calls UDP a tribal or mandinka party, they don't know much.If you hate someone to the point of not caring if he is fighting for you more than himself or herself.Hatred is a serious disease which only reasoning and self reflection cures.I don't discuss tribalism for it never existed where I grew up.My family comprises of all the tribes in the Gambia and whe I say all the tribes, I mean every tribe whose news is broadcasted on radio Gambia.So tribalism is far from us and people who think about it should instead try and mary from a different tribe there they would know what multi tribal unity offers.Ask me (Laughs)
For Pa Ndery, maybe one day I shall be on his air or another but oneday his true colour would be unvielled.
