The Gambia and Related Issues Mailing List

GAMBIA-L@LISTSERV.ICORS.ORG

Gambia-L mailing list is for Gambians and friends of The Gambia to discuss Gambia related issues. GAMBIA-L is aimed at providing Gambians and those interested in Gambian and related issues, a means to communicate with each other, and exchange ideas and information of common interest. In the process, it is hoped that a spirit of cooperation, of exchange of ideas, of healthy debate and dialogue for the National good will be cultivated. True, ours might not be one of the biggest lists, but we certainly can make it one of the very best in cyberspace.

I find it extremely despecable, intriguing, disturbing and horrendous seeing the amount of profanity poured on Honourable Fatoumata Jawara.
This woman has endured excruciating pain and torture. Our women folks are our mothers, sisters, aunts, daughters, grand mothers, great aunts, nieces.
I cannot understand how any human being who deserves to be called a human will enjoy and make fun of sexual offences. This is the lowest point of humanity.
Politics is about ideas and the battle of ideas. Our honourable women deserve respect.
Those in the Western world should be very careful of ridiculing victims of sexual assault.

The Status Of The White Paper: On The Report Of The Janneh Commission

The debate has started. Foroyaa is being asked to explain whether the President has power to ban people from holding public office just because of the report of a commission of inquiry. It is therefore important for the National Council for Civic Education to carry out its constitutional mandate in assisting the citizenry to know the provisions of the Constitution so that the Gambian people will continue to speak its language with clarity.

Today The Gambia is 49 years old.
It was this day in 1970 that every single Gambian was no longer a slave and subject of Her Imperial Majesty the Queen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
It was on this day that every single Gambian became equal to the other.
It was this day that the territorial integrity of The Gambia was restored.
It was on this day that a Gambian became a President and a commander in Chief.
It was this day that real independence was achieved.

Dare to dream

By Baba Galleh Jallow

Dreaming is for many of us a scary prospect. Not dreaming of the sleeping
sort, which is totally involuntary and therefore easy; but dreaming of the
thinking sort that seeks to find solutions to collective social problems
and bring about collective social success. Many of us of course dream, and
often dream big. But most of our dreams are centered around us and what is
dear to us personally and to our loved ones. We dream of success and we
work hard on achieving success because we believe that we can. And we

A famous Africanist once said something to the effect that in terms of
development, Africa has remained prostrate since independence. While other
continents are more or less up on their feet and walking, even if their
walk is a stagger, Africa remains unable to rise up to her feet, even to
stand up straight. Africa is mired in an ever rising pile of difficulties
and complications, even as more and more wealth is discovered on the
continent; even as more and more brilliant minds are born and bred on the

*TRRC Update*

Truth commissions are complicated institutions. Their very existence is
mired in controversy. Their mandates are often complicated and
misunderstood by the publics they serve. They are often considered a
panacea for all the human rights and criminal justice-related issues in

rationale for existence. Their mandate period is thus marked by an
unresolvable controversy over the alleged primacy of criminal prosecution
versus the alleged primacy of establishing the truth about what happened,
promoting national reconciliation and healing, and making sure that what
happened in the

*Talk, Talk, Talk*

By Baba Galleh Jallow

We have argued elsewhere that the fall of a dictator does not mark the end
of the fight against dictatorship. Rather, it marks the beginning of the
fight against the many negative legacies of dictatorship. Our capacity to
succeed in transforming our country into a better place is contingent upon
our capacity to neutralize the many negative legacies of dictatorship.
These range from social disorder to institutional corruption not only of
the monetary sort, but also of the moral sort. And we can neutralize many
of these negative legacies by honestly, truthfully, and

*Gambia on a roll – part two*

By Baba Galleh Jallow

Gambia on a roll. That’s how I called my recent critique of Elizabeth
Ohene’s omission of Gambia from her story on the fall of veteran leaders in
Africa 2017. The title was deliberate. I knew it would raise some eyebrows
in some quarters of Gambian public opinion, and for good reasons too. And
it was absolutely not to romanticize our momentous achievement in kicking a
dictator out of power by peaceful means and epic nationalism. One
appreciates the daunting challenges our country faces as we enter 2018. We

Happy birthday to our new and beautiful Gambia! Exactly one year ago,
Gambians decided that we are sick and tired of Jammeh’s dictatorship and
his unhealthy politics of insults, tribal bigotry and rampant squandering
of pour national resources. The majority of Gambians rallied around the
Coalition candidate and sent the despot packing, once and for all. A lot of
water has flowed under the proverbial bridge ever since, some of it very
good; some not so good. Nevertheless, it has been a great year for
Gambians, especially for those of us who were

*Gambian Renaissance: Reducing Dystopic Frontiers*

Banjul, The Gambia

29th and 30th of June, 2018

Today, the slogan ‘New Gambia’ is almost on everybody’s lips. It is easy to
imagine that the phrase is being used to depict the period after Jammeh’s
autocratic regime when democratic ideals and basic universal human rights
were suspended and trampled upon. Although the Jammeh regime’s demise may
have given the term ‘New Gambia” greater public recognition, it is
essential that we open up the field of discussion centred around our shared
responsibility in shaping the direction of travel of the new Gambia.

The revelations are often mind-blowing, maddening, and mirth-inspiring.
They are always edifying in the ways of human beings. They are very
revealing in the workings of the shadow state: the parallel institutions
and individuals created by corrupt African rulers in order to by-bass
regular channels of doing government business in pursuit of their own
personal agendas. The unfolding tragi-comic drama of the Janneh commission
reveals part of the inner workings of the shadow state. Other parts of

The massive reaction to my short piece “Easier said than done” shows that
many Gambians are concerned about our seeming fall back into the bad old
days of intolerance, blind support for and uncritical obeisance to the

of Gambian public opinion that recognizes the gravity of our continuing
culture of intolerance and fanatical political jingoism. I have been asked

Almost ten months after the fall of the Jammeh dictatorship, Gambians are
beginning to learn, among other things, that struggling for democracy does
not necessarily mean being democratic in spirit. We are seeing ample
evidence that it is one thing to clamor for the freedom of expression for
everyone, but quite another thing to respect freedom of expression for
everyone. We challenged the Jammeh dictatorship and shouted it down at
every turn for being intolerant of our dissenting opinion; but we now
display unbelievable intolerance for other people’s dissenting opinion. All

The problem in The Gambia is that we are worshipers of our leaders be it social or political.
We cannot see their wrongs and unless our personal interest is hypocritically threatened we remain blind loyalist.
We make them perfect beings. We make them dictators. Once we see a rival of our " LOYAL" leader, we will attack, we will insult their honourable mothers to silence them in to submission.
We tend to forget the national interest. We forget our country. We destroy our country even to the point as going as low as using ethno-linguistic divisions.

*Development is People*

*By Baba Galleh Jallow*

A recent news report indicates that The Gambia government has just secured
a $50 million grant from the Chinese government to build an international
conference center. The question that immediately came to mind was who
suggested the nature of the project for which this money will be spent? Did
the Gambia government ask for $50 million dollars to build a conference
center? Or was the project suggested and funded by the Chinese government?
The underlying rationale for my question is whether this money could not be
better used funding the education or training

*We must get it right*

By Baba Galleh Jallow

There has been a lot of talk among Gambian communities these past several
weeks and days about things that the Barrow administration should do and
not do. Barrow himself recently acknowledged that he understands that
Gambians are impatient and that they want to see some progress on the many
tasks his government is expected to carry out. One should add that Gambians
are impatient not only to see progress, but to see the right and proper
kind of progress. Gambians can simply not afford to get it wrong this time
around.

 The Constitution has been there since 1997 and theissue of the age discriminatory nature was not challenged by the UDP andDarboe. We used the same unjust constitution to tell ECOWAS to intervene ifJammeh fails to uphold the constitution. It will be hypocritical if we all of asudden are criticising the constitution just because some of the provisions donot suit my Honourable aunt. This is wrong and immoral. There are so manyqualified women to fill the position and Dr Isatou Touray could be appointed tofill the position as temporary VP and once my honourable aunt qualifies by lawthen Dr Touray could

Simply take a look at the 2017 Projected Appropriation Bill figures. Generally speaking the same trends are true for all Appropriation Bill figures as far back you can reference.
Projected Revenue (taxes)............... D8b
Projected Revenue (grants) .............. D6b

I think The Gambia has some good lessons to learn from South Africa's Truth
and Reconciliation Commission experience. Here's a link to a video
introducing the TRC process and the reasoning behind it.

Readers here is what I said abut concerns been raised about politics in Foni

'THE FONI/KANILAI PROBLEM: For me this is perceived and not a real one. However unless properly address we could all get dirty in it. Well before the Sibanor and Kanilai incidents I suggested in one of my postings how the new government should educate Gambians and particularly Foni about political dispensation in a democracy and rule of law. I suggested Barrow asked the Governor at Brikama under which Foni falls to summon all the chiefs, Alikalis and some prominent people of the area to his office.

 The Fonikas are dignified people who should be treated with honour and dignity. Their liberty must be guaranteed and they should be allowed to prosper like the rest of the citizenry.
Yahya Jammeh is different from Shyngle Nyassi despite both being from the same ethno-linguistic group. H E Barrow promised us that he is not out for revenge and that if any justice that is sought, a truth and reconciliation model will be his approach. The Fonis are still as poor as the colonial period. Yahya Jammeh coming from Foni does not mean anything. We promised a one Gambia, one

Brighton Essay 13

The Gambia

The Goal of our struggle is ‘TO MAKE GAMBIA A FUNCTIONING INSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY’. That powers/authorities of governing resides ONLY with the sovereign. That our government is a representation of the will of the sovereign people. That government has defined roles and responsibilities. That people hired to run government are to ensure those roles and responsibilities are fulfilled in accordance with law. That all public employees (from president to janitor) are servants and not masters of the sovereign people. The quest for that Gambia continued unabated.

 Putting partisan issues aside we must commend Honourable Ousainou Numukunda Darboe for his statement. Acting in the national interest, he brushed aside any challenge to his leadership of the UDP. This is honourable and from now on we shall all call him honourable. He is forgiven for past errors and I hope his surrogates act in the spirit of his call. I will call a spade a spade but I will forever be PDOIS and I will never join UDP. However, his actions today earn my respect for him

We voted for system change. We did not vote for Regime change only. We did not got rid of Yahya Jammeh to get his copy. We will not settle for less as we have decided to vote for hope over fear. We voted on the basis of a manifesto commitment and it will break our hearts if those promises are broken.
100 days, my honourable aunt cannot still be VP. This is uncalled for. No body can represent the President except the VP. We complained about Jammeh's misrule and yet we are starting on a very poor footing. We campaigned
