Again I understand that you have rights to your opinion but so do I. It is
like the Martin Luther King Junior's principle of speaking non-violence to
the Ku klux klan while Malcolm X was talking about any means necessary to
achieve our independence and freedom. Mr Tunkara they were both murdered
violently. I have no problem what so ever if Gandhist like you can talk to
our people to stop helping a mad man kill our people but am saying that make
sure they understand the language you talk.
I will not go down to the fact as to how much I contribute or how much you
or any other person for that matter contributed to the cause of changing
this mad trend of assasinations and political murder.
I have said it before and am saying it again. My belief is that, I will not
preach non violence to our people when they are confronted with violence
every day. This will not be intelligent or consistant with my beliefs. I say
any day we talk the language that Jammeh understands, we will not only gain
our dignity back but we will stand as tall and as respected not only by
Jammeh but the international community as well. I belief in justice and
equal rights for all and that means if Jammeh and the APRC contradict the
truth, so they stand condemned not by me but by the truth. It is sad that
when we want to stay neutral on this forum then we identify ourselves but
then when it comes to being critical about this madness, most of us if not
all would rather come up with undercover names. I will not hide nor will I
run, I have all the rights both God given and constitutional, to call for
the immediate and swift over throw of this government. It is illegal and
criminal. It is murderous and poisnous, this tumour of cancer needs to be
removed and if violence is the only way the tumour understands so I say use
violence.
Iam not asking every Gambian to pick up an AK 47 but am saying that bringing
down a government that is constituted of ignorant and murderous men and
women, requires all sectors of the society and that is why I say our poets,
artists, politicians, Che Guevars, Gandhist like you, members of the
security units, religious leaders and the working class that cannot feed
their families when the gang leaders decided to increase their own salaries
all have a say as to how this change can take place.
Yes iam sitting thousands of kilometres away from the Gambia but that is
only the geograpical factor, am not only of my geographical bearings but
also national, ethnical and Gambian. Mr Tunkara I also have feelings and am
fully aware of the consequences of my words and also equally aware of the
implication of my proposed over throw of this Government. I take it on me as
responsibility to write and fight by all means necessary to see the end of
this madness. The details as to how much am prepared to go remains
exclusively my decision. With all respect, I understand that we cannot agree
on certain principles but that's what life is to me ...... atleast.

Subject: Re: Deyda is gone; Who is the next victim?


Mr. Sanneh:
Hopefully no one has to be.  We all have the tendency of talking tough talks
when confronted by issues such as this one we are facing.  But the sad thing
ofcourse is the lack of commitment from even those who sound tough to save
our dear country from such a mess.
Ofcourse several children met their ends two years ago; ofcourse several
other children still remain in serious conditions even as we still exchange
these views.  But two years after these atrocities against our own brothers,
who among us can say, had gave a dime, made a phone call to these guys or
their families, or even shed a tear for the agony they had endured?  I guess
a few or none.
Talk is cheap ladies and gentlemen; it is about time we take a serious look
at what our message to the people was and what has that lead us.  We have to
stop echoing these "any means necessary" sentiments and come up with real
plans.  And these plans must be comprehensive.  Engage the very people who
are carrying out such acts of violence against us.  They are your brothers,
my cousins, your former classmates, and so on.  Let us talk to them,
one-on-one.  We are all one family, tell them it does not have to be this
way.  We can achieve this by having a strong representation in the country.
You cannot be thousands of miles away from the Gambia trying to manage what
is on the ground and expect it to go right.  It is the same as demanding the
change of our country's leadership by any means necessary while you are many
miles away.  So to those interested  in real changes, let us get up and be
counted.  Let us put our dollar, our euro, our krona, our pound, our skills,
our abilities to where our mouth is to save this lovely nation.
