Mr Breadman, I for one cannot understand when you say you defend democracy. Because if you do and i mean honestly, you never would have supported Jammeh as he is not democratic. Do you believe that if Jammeh did not overthrow the Jawara government he would never have won a free and fair election in the Gambia by simply forming a political party and going into a free and fair elections?
The answer to this questions tells you that there is nothing democratic about Jammeh. He came to power in an undemocratic way and will never be democratic. Anyone who supports Jammeh and thinks he/she is supporting democracy is really making a grave mistake. My point of view.

| Yeah mr Patrick, you are cery right and I totally agree with. However we are in this situation and one have to choose. Jammeh overthrowing Jawara was not democratic, there is no question about that, but after being re-elected twice by acceptable norms of democracy I stand to respect that and continue watching for who does what represents my view of development. |
It is the mark of intelligence to entertain an idea without accepting it. |

Bread Man,
Let us have it more blunt to be understood!! Jammeh is simply an armed robber. He used arms to jump on that seat and now continues using arms to coerce or in extremes, kill opponents. Don't call that being voted three times. You have shown much passion for history that one would expect you respect the history of Jammeh's power robbery!!! Don't you recognise that a coup is illegal. These developments you are pushing about add up in the scheme of deception preferred by Jammeh to impress people like yourself that his development claims justify both the coup and the ensuing brutality. Please get that clear. Without Jammeh, Gambians are far too exposed to bring about better development than this cement work you call development. Your experience would have taught you to appreciate how Gambians are capable of moving our nation in the absence of this bandit electoral system you call winning by popular vote. |

Karamba, with all due respect this posting is like putting the cart before horse. I think what we should be looking into now is how to remove Jammeh and his APRC from the seat of power in The Gambia. As advocated here before, its a multi-faceted issue. We should design approaches as to how to educate the masses and how do we in the diaspora empower them. It maybe a journey of a thousand mile but if we dnt plan carefully we are planning to fail like Jawara and Jammeh gov'ts. We should avoid at this point in time to be posting things that have tendencies to be seen as vengeful or hate stuff.
In my opinion most of ur postings are directed to the person of Jammeh, which i think is mis-placed. The wrongs perpetrated on the Gambians are not done by Jammeh unilaterally. He has accomplices.
I have friends and relatives who have directly suffered the wrongs of the AFPRC/APRC, but that does not make me lose my head and cry for Jammeh's blood. For example, some of my people were in the Army wen they were framed in the 11th nov 94 and march 2006 attempted coups. Soldiers report or implicate their colleagues during times like these. Can you blame Jammeh for an individual soldier's stupidity? As am writing my in-law is jailed and the wife is totally distressed as the rest of the family.
So we must act with tact at all times.
Will Jammeh still be pardoned as Ex-Revolutionary leader or be subject to fair trial as commander of military action. For example, during the student demonstration (Year 2000), it emerged that Jammeh gave orders for the young children to get shot at. Normally, anyone who fires single bullet without command would face severe penalty. We know that the men who shot our young students later gained promotion from the Commander-in- Chief (Yaya Jammeh)
That by itself signals Jammeh's pleasure in having the young students shot down. By promoting the shooters of those young students puts Jammeh in the forefront of a national crime against humanity. Even when he leaves office after serving his 40 years in power and the Vision 2020 dream fails, he is still liable for court action.
There is no putting of horse before the cart. It is all part of timely planning. |
