None of these cases were featured on the Daily Observer and GRTS, even though CNN, BBC and others far away -thousands of miles away featured it in their mediums. Trust me, as far as I am concerned, this problem was a turn off on the side of Jammeh. The man failed in principle, action and words. The victims are not politicians, just ordinary Gambians, some of them aged. All they yearn for in real life is to worship their lord, eat, drink, rest, and bless nations and families. Among all the crimes that Jammeh committed against humanity, this one is the most gruesome. It doesn't have a root basis. It was farce, wrong and nothing like it. 
 
Yero.

Hi Mr. Bojang,
 
I hope you are not missing Joe's points. Any how, I recognize that Joe has a certain way of commenting which doesn't go well with some, at least to the context. While I am a big fan of Shngle Nyassi, matter of fact, I have known the man for a long time, be that we all hailed from the same area, I just want to acknowledge that some of Joe's submission is valid, eventhough I would not go into pinning individuals as a way of blame. The opposition as an entity though needed to act right away with a big magnitude, to unite against tyranny. Gambians in entirity and the world needed to act even with a bigger magnitude. If memory serves me well, former Speaker of Parliament the useless and disgraced Fatou Jahumpha Ceesay of futility fame, pioneer of "10,000 man march" stopped Hon Sidia Jatta and couple of others from discussing the issue in the parliament house. Halifa went to jail because of this. Darboe came up with a press release then, together with others that did things silently. All the online papers especially Freedom did excellent in exposing the goons. Amnesty international was on the frontline, thanks to Saihou Mballow and his partners in New York, Washington, and London. In the end, the idiots were defeated and they didn't have a choice but to leave Gambians in peace. I had the rare opportunity of meeting some of the victims, and even complaining bitterly to some of Jammeh's closest aids then. 
 
We are all on the same page, let us progress well in the debate -to seek clarifications, and rectify one and another here and there, without reducing topics and forums to places of shooting one another. 
 
Thank you both for your valuable inputs.
 
Thanks,
 
Yero.

> Joe, you can run your BIG mouth all you want repeating yourself over and over but that is not going to drown out the sensible people here trying to do something more constructive about the situation in the Gambia. I think you just like to hear yourself rant. Most of us do not have time to see your bombastic utterances whenever you show up here. If you like to hear yourself, you can record yourself and play it over and over for yourself...lol. And even dance to the tune (you may find a tune in it).

> As for the bigotry you insinuate here, you must be the bigot because I have no such feeling about this exchange. You are attributing your own feelings to others. Do you know my background? No. So how can you just make a blanket statement like that about me without evidence? These are the kinds of stuff I am admonishing you to desist from but it seems like you never get it. For me it does not have to be my immediate family who is abused before I show concern. so, take that gabage where it belongs.

> Would you say what you are saying if your parents were part of that abuse? No, I do not think so. What I said below is the same I said when the people were being abused, and you came with the same nonsense. What I said is for the victims and I do not have to wait until I see a relative dragged in before I express my outrage at the hands off approach of those who could have helped stop their abuse. Shyngle just said the same thing that was asked of the UDP then. All I said is, if he can say it today, don't you think it would have been more effective while the abuse was going on? The same thing you try to accuse me of is the same thing you could be charged with - sitting on your key board running your mouth when your parents are not part of the abuse. This is the nonsensical argument that you keep regurgitating. By your logic, should those that come here to criticize the butcher daily go on the ground to show their guts? Are you going to say that when I attend protest marches, that I should go on the ground to show my bravery instead? When I sign a petition, that I should not waste my time but go on the ground and hold a sigh near the Arch? You see how silly your logic is. Look, your problem is the messenger and not the message, as some of you cannot hide your bigotry to save your life. Keep repeating the same nonsense and see if the mountains are going to move for you. Besides, why don't you be honest for a change. Your problem is my mere address of the UDP reactionary stance towards the witch hunt. None is going to hit you if you called the spade. I am speaking as if my parents or relatives were abused in that witch hunt. If it triggers your ulcers that I spoke my mind on this, then load up on some more Tagamet, for you will need additional doses for relief. I am here to stay Ansu, I don't know about you, so bring it on.
