Gambian diplomat Mr Essa Sey who served the Jammeh regime as Ambassador in various countries now thinks it is time to end tyranny. From what we have seen through the link below, Mr Sey challenges Gambians the responsibility to undo Jammeh and tyranny. Depending on who agrees or not, here is what former Ambassador Sey has on how to get rid of captain Jammeh and tyranny from Gambian soil.
While many Gambians hide behind the hope that Western powers will help to unseat Jammeh, for Mr Sey things may not happen that way. He has his reasons. Read on.

What's up Essa?
You've finally decided that the grass isn't greener on the other side of the pond ! Funds are drying up and self imposed exile is what you thought it would be ha. Have you heard the saying that the grass isn't always greener on the other side?
Nevermind, the reality is that now Gambia is becoming more prosperous ans the west is facing economic melt down i would take a calculated guess and say there is much more strength in numbers to ascend on Gambia by offering the hand of trade, and in so doing finding yourself back home in a position of power. Hey Essa
The former Ambassdor is an opportunist who's living a fantasy of becoming the next President of Gambia. However this cameleon has proven that he would rather live a life of luxury rather than getting his hands dirty grafting like other Civil Servants do on low pay. He made the decision to claim Political Asylum rather than be recalled to become the Ambassdor of Gambia to Serria Leone. After seeing the glittering gold on US soil. He turned his back on Gambia to live the highlife in the States. Now having to graft (work hard to make ends meet.), He's now set his sights on Statehouse itself.
It's good to be clever but being too clever makes one .... I'll let you'll guess the answer.
Food for thought.
Peace

Halifa Salah: PDOIS is however realistic. It is fully aware that the Gambian voters are yet to reach a level of political consciousness that they rely on to vote on the basis of Principles, policies and programmes and practices. |

| Bokarr is better off shuttin up! He has a share in Jammeh's crimes since he once acted as an emissary for the tyrant. We need an apology from him not advice on how to unseat Jammeh. |

They are also isolated from the ordinary Gambians. |

| I don't know moe. What I see is that there are many 'non-elite' from the rural areas, mosques, ghettos are singing soprano while elite is more like baritone. |

Karamba,
The point Bokarr is making is a well known and established fact that Jammeh is our collective responsibility. When people like Bokarr start mouthing off these known facts, part of is to merely appear "intellectual" and at the same time by positioning themselves for their future. He is tainted in that he was part of the problem until he got sacked or got wind of his inevitable sacking. Until he comes out and explains his reasons for staying true to Jammeh until he fell out with him Gambians should not take him seriously. For far too long we have giving such people the pass of not explaining themselves why they stayed attached to Jammeh's hips until he kicked them to the curb.
The problem with people like Bokarr is that you cannot trust them and there are many of them roaming in cyberspace today all jockeying for I dont know what. I get offended if an when they try to play anti-establishment part after playing a part in building the establishment without fully explaining themselves as to what their role was in entrenching Jammeh in power. Many a times we have also seen people who were very outspoken against Jammeh just to flip and become the most strange of bedfellows with Jammeh.
Now, I believe there are genuine people out there who truely mean well for Gambia but until some of these people step aside and let us figure out who those worthy of speaking or representing us are we wont get anywhere. |

Mansasulu, nothing to disagree with your very frank observation. In the words of Mr Sey, he too like many others fell for the sweet promises. From what I make of your take on the issue, it is not enough that one realises an error of judgement and commitment. You seem to be demanding an outright apology for Sey and co. Adding to that, you want them to wait for public approval before they take part in genuine encounters with the regime. Look at how Mr Sey sought to pull out of his past error:
"....Whatever former Chairman Jammeh is celebrating this month, let him remember that he is the person who has failed all promises and predictions. Let him also be told that his “revolution” today is the outcome of when evolution slapped morality. Therefore a serious historical accident! We are all victims of this accident especially those of us who boarded the vehicle of euphoria and great expectations in a sea of mirages and silhouettes. The author is in the center!....."
What I picked more from your position Mansasulu, about the whole matter, is that Mr Sey and co do not qualify the claim of being victims. Rather you want to consider them as culprits.
Does that capture your point clearly?

Yes. I believe people like him are hindering our cause in that we dont really know what their true intentions are seeing that they never admitted any blame for our predicament. Clearly all of these folks have a share in why things are the way they are. I just dont think they can be trusted.
I believe there are a lot of people sitting on the fence when it comes to the way forward for the Gambia. It is these people who need to get off the fence and join the cause for creating a better Gambia. So long as people like Bokarr are attempting to front load the cause they will continue to be on the fence. Some of us have been disappointed for far too long that we will rather go with what we know than what we dont know. |

A major part of Gambia’s problem is the fact that we do not have a strong man leading the opposition, we lack the likes of Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwea and Odinga of Kenya.
Politics in Africa is a theater of war, one has to be willing to risk and loose everything. I do not see the fire that Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwea and Odinga of Kenya have in any of our opposition leaders.
Very few of us in the West are willing to leave our comfortable lives and go home. Hell we do not even contribute a dime to the opposition’s cause. All we are good for is making noise in cyberspace. To make the problem worst, Gambians are not united. This coupled with the lack of a Soldier that is willing and capable to toe the line and face the APRC machinery is what is keeping APRC in power.
To summaries; the opposition is weak and divided.
