YAYA MUST GO

I just can’t believe that there are Gambians out
there, still trying to treat Yaya’s government as a
reasonable establishment. How could anyone think that
the APRC government would provide the logical answers
to the contradictory questions raised in the latest
Point Newspaper publications? If you think the
government would come up with the reasonable answers
about why Yaya is pretending to look fair and good on
one side by trying to comfort the families of the
victims of the massacre, but on the other side he
continues to act like the devil he is by illegally
detaining several other poor students, you must be
living in a dream world. What most of you fail to
understand is that Yaya measures the mentality of
every Gambian by the degree of the inept head he
carries over his shoulders. He is not at all
intelligent; thus he treats every person by his level
of thinking. Unfortunately, those around him would
keep on telling him that he is way in the sky even
when his tail is on fire in a hole below the earth.
All I have to say anyway is that the idiot is living
on borrowed time. He is already finish.

Having said that, I still want to add a few lines by
answering few questions. While we were in the army we
could not overthrow Yaya because there was no apparent
reason to do so. We were professional soldiers who
served with all those military ethics, codes and
principles well respected in the job we did. Yaya knew
that he could not have been crazy in our time to give
us such unlawful orders to shoot and kill school
children. That would have the order toend his
administration. We had conscience and strongly
believed in god and Yaya knew that very well. If Yaya
had ordered us to shoot kids as young as three, we
would have smoked him instead rather than commit that
heinous crime in the name of soldiering. That is why,
like every reasonable person, we think that he belongs
in jail and not to head a nation. Child killers cannot
be allowed to roam civilized streets much more heading
the nation of god-fearing humans like Gambians. So
don’t disturb us with what we should or should not
have done in our past careers.

To also think that Yaya would easily relinquish power
in the wake of losing in a general election is another
sad dream nurtured in some naive heads. For some of
you who still cannot get the point, you need to now
understand that Yaya is among those foolish dictators
who have the absurd notion that the country belongs to
them and them alone. Beside, he would certainly be
reluctant to leave because his hands are seriously
steeped in blood and his pockets full of booty. He
knows that all his past gory misdeeds would be
exposed. Hence he would cling to power regardless of
the cost or consequence. That therefore leaves no
choice but to dislodge him in the very manner he got
himself that seat. Historians on African politics have
long codified the statistics that between 1957 and
1990 there were 150 heads of state in the continent
but only six had ever relinquish power voluntarily.
Discount Yaya from the honorable category of the
legacy of those six.

Landing Jatta and Kebba Dampha, I must commend you for
your courage and determination. You are admirable
heroes in my camp. You must never lose sight of the
fact that we are the last hopes. Arguments of various
kinds would continue to be forwarded to dampen our
spirits but you must maintain the positive position.
We are definitely on the right track. YAYA MUST GO BY
ALL MEANS!!!!

Ebou Colly.
