In my opinion this is a 13 years of mischief,social retrogression,human brutalisation, human killing and illegal indefinite detention.In 13 years yahya Jammeh has succeeded in dividing and creating suspicion among Gambians,tribalism,nepotism and political favouritism is the order of the day.Gambians today are going through political hell, they are living in fear and insecurity.The civil servants under the Jammeh regime are ten times corrupt than during ppp days.Poverty has today ripped most Gambians off their selfesteem.The gambian farmers have loose hope in agriculture as a result of lack of market for their produce, they are heavly disappointed.The police has institutionalised bribery in their daily duties.The post office staff are scounging for international mails,the market vendors are ripped off of taxes which never reach the Government.Youths in their frustration has taken illegal migration, crime and drug abuse as the way out, members of paliament are glue mouthed for fear of their position,even though they are elected,judges in courts have blantantly bend the law to safe their positions,doctor are smuggling drugs out of hospitals for their private chemists.Teachers are ill-motivated and quality of education is extremely poor.private bussiness men got no choice but to abstain from importation due government interfering.So what is APRC celebrating?

I missed that bit where Karamba or Kondorong has to go. Is that about going to Jammeh, or going to Shakespeare to confirm if Jammeh's term "Dictator of Development" is valid for development language by 21st century English users!!
Demblish emerged with very good issues; the way and manner Jammeh turned the whole social fabric and development process topsy-turvy. Just to subscribe to what you stated, Jammeh's sole intention for keeping that job (Mr President),is killing many and leaving the rest in grief and fear. It is when he stands trial that many hidden matters come to light. When Yahya falls, even people like Bread Man will not stand to back him. |

Bread Man,
......"as long as I believe in his will to develop." Two gaps widely open in that statement. For you, it is a matter of what you "believe", even if he stands, wrong, "as long as" you believe... The other gap relates to "his will to develop." Yahya's, "will to develop." is a separate reality from his "ability and competence" to do so. In the absence of strategy and skills, he resorts to force; the fact that he said he is "dictator of development" says it all. When will Yahya realise that it is not his muscle power but the total blend of national skills and wisdom that builds a nation? You can think about the rest. |

By the way, Who is going to put him on trial, and for what? May be for too much developement that The Gambians can´t handle? Is that a crime. I wish we can discuss more widely into his successes too. Jammeh is not all failure, as you assume in this democratic forum, far from that. There are lots of possitive things he has done. Can you mention them too in your next masterpiece. Cos it seem like all your postings are masterpieces of an intelligent mind being twisted by hate of Jammeh´s Governance. Please re-direct that to the Gambian people in a manner more reproductive. |

I like your sense of humour
It looks like too much development is a crime.
Yes its an economic crime when the economy cannot absorb it. It then becomes a white elephant with no economic returns.
Politically too much developemnt is a vote getter, economically its like slicing Adam Smith's head |

Bread Man,
There is no mind twisting or hatred for Jammeh. Rather it is a matter of recognising the other fat truth that in his bid to DEVELOP Gambia that does not impose on Jammeh the urge to kill those UNPATRIOTIC citizens. It does not also mean him to rob 100 using 20 for development. Jammeh does not love Gambia more than the remaining 1.5 million brothers and sisters sharing the land.
Will you re-read this last posting from Kondorong ? There is lot of sense baked in it for consumption. Too much of everything is BAD. Jammeh is a man of excesses and that is where many disagree with him. |

Brother man, Halifa is a very intelligent man but unfortunately his intel is directed towards to much negative energy. I respect Halifa for his intelligence and his will to change the Gambia. However he has been politically active for a long time and could not still win the hearts and minds of Gambians. WHY??? I am so impressed by his dedication to his views about politics, but his methods are not getting in. Isn´t it time he refer himself to the politics we know as gambians and not the paper politics he read at the university. Not all us are equally well read to understand him. And once you do not understand somebody, there is bound to be conflicts. |

Bread Man,
Are you referring to politics of deception (Yahya Jammeh politics) to mean ....."the politics we know in Gambia......"? It appears as for you, anyone who differs with Jammeh is good for nothing. The truth is, Jammeh ascended on the high seat of President, of the Republic by armed robbery. He is liable for criminal charges for offences against a whole state. To be there for 40 years does not exempt him from that. The longer he insists, the worse it turns out for him. He could have been civil (civilised) enough to form a political party and wait like others. Now a criminal president, there are bound to be challenges. These writings and talks are documentation of a nation's political history so records don't get rubbed or robbed. These records are archived beyond the reach of Jammeh. The day he faces the records, there will be no excuse. He is being told and warned and too stubborn to take heed. |

No, I mean the kind of politics that gets you voted all over again. You are accusing me of something I am not, If you read my postings you will see that I accept differences in political views and you are a good example. I engage you in this political debate and always remind you of your intelligence and invites you to join us Tha APRC. Does that mean I think you are good for nothing?? Of cos not. So again you are wrong as you always are about Jammeh. I DO NOT THINK THAT ANY ONE THAT DIFFERS WITH THE H.E. IS GOOD FOR NOTHING. ESPECIALLY NOT HALLIFA SALLAH ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT BRAINS IN AFRICA. |

Bread man's keeping it real.
Jammeh has and is still is delivering progress for Gambia. The "Would-a- Been's", "Could-a- Been's", should-a-been's are standing on the sidelines licking the wounds of their ill thought out non existent policies. Myopic visions underpinned in jealousy and covetousness are festering and twisted with negativity.
Where those who benefits everyday from the progress of the past 13 years in a Gambia look forward to more and more progressive development by keeping it real!
Peace

Whatever good and and bad men do in life, history is no person's personal diary. Jealousy and negativity, ha, ha, what for ? Where is the sense in someone feeling jealous because another person is advancing a nation? That is not the right word. The word is sanity. Just because a person seeks to develop one lot, he is not free to kill and maim another lot? That is hard to digest.
Bread Man,
This is where history remains nobody's pocket diary. Events unfold in the course of time and the reality is unchangeable. Take the example of H.E. prezy Jammeh. From 1994 to date, he DICTATED lot of infrasructure developments. Those who disagree with him on other matters have no power to undo that historical reality. Let Jammeh sleep or dance, this is part of history. Nothing can change it. He is the commander and dictator of all developments in Gambia from 1994 July, to this day in time. Some developments are positive. Other developments are extremely negative. Of some of the positive developments include giant structures like Arch 22 and the Airport terminal building. An example of a negative development is the breeding of killer bugs like the July 22 Green Boys and their lawlessness. Corruption has also advanced geometrically. When we look at both sides of the coin, there are lot of things to worry about. These have to be addressed. Since Jammeh's club of sycophants will not do so, it takes platforms like this to raise the issues. Unfortunately, Sister Omega is so much a fan of development dictatorship that a word against it cuts deep into her flesh. That is sad. Of course, Bread Man, not even the most hateful opponents of Yahya Jammeh can deny the fleet of positive developments during his 13 years as Commander-In-Chief of the Gambia Armed Forces. The thing is, he does not need to force development.

Oga is a development orientated leader. His vision for mother Gambia is clear, that is development. As far as Oga is elected by the Gambians, he is mandated to run sweet Gambia and sooner vision 2020 will be realized. |

Gambia patriot you are so right about the confusion government minister's have about sustainable development. Just looking at Gambia's Tourist model at present it is not sustainable. They've resulted back to huge complexes on the beach which will result in pumping raw swage into the sea. I think one of the biggest problems beiseging Jammeh's government is too much Jacks of all trades and masters of none. Gambia has a vision but that vision must be focused.
Peace
