One of FOROYAA publications mentioned about how the AFPRC group lost good numbers of their strong militants and now remains on the shoulders of former AFPRC opponents.
Upon keen observation, reason dictates that politics in Gambia (1994-2010) is driven by forces of greed and purely survival motivation.
No need for names, you can do the proper head count by your self. Those people earlier seen as dead supporters of AFPRC and now seen most dormant have good reason staying their space. They would have been part of it due to higher expectations.
After walking the way far enough, they dropped off or had bigger forces blowing them away. If they were that committed, all of them would stayed on supporting without pay. Where are they?
Those who earlier challenged the gang politics of AFPRC and now playing big within the gang, they too have good reasons. What if food and water runs out? They choose survival over resistance. Where is their loyalty? The fist or below the belt?
There are others induced by family members and close associates. With the type divisive tricky polics that Jammeh champions all the way, it is normal to have one member of a family jailed or maimed at a time another family member is hailed in high position.
While insulting the whole area of certain parts of the country, some natives of those areas are enjoying deep bite of the magic cake from Kanilai bakeries.
When people sit in their isolated corners, the talk is different from what they sound in public. All about survival, deception and greed, most certainly.
So much talk about cross carpets. What does a man who is no politician, does not need votes, still wants to embrace carpet crossing new members of a gang political body?
Worst of it all, some people stay in severe pains when one of their own suffers a fate like those 7 persons whose heads hang in the balance being sentenced to death.
At end of the show, these people will not be killed. They would have been molested and traumatised painfully. They will be scared, but will not want Jammeh in power any more.
At level of public office, there is no hope as everyone thinks of when the bell goes for home time. That ranges from top people to lowest on government payroll. Nothing runs good for them though.
People in higher public positions get sacked without notice. They go home without government vehicles. Even their close ones at work keep the gap safe. It gets so embarassing. Though some of them end up getting jobs in the private sector or appointments abroad, that is last resort.
Bottom line of politics in Gambia is one big show of greed, sycphancy, all for survival motives. How long will that journey last?
Should Jammeh be eliminated today or bows down for whatever reasons, he will be surprised how many will be dancing "Afingjang"
