Gassama,

In my debate with you on the media and the
mistreatment journalists went through in this country,
i have really discovered that the likes of you are not
indeed a good assest to Jammeh. I would have expected
a good ally of Jammeh to commend the good and condemn
the bad especially this latest confrontation with the
EU. Now tell me what in this world will the Gambia
derive from ordering for the immediate replacement of
the EU country rep? where does this put our new found
foreign policy agenda? Am sure people like Famara
Jatta will not surely speak the way you did because as
Kebbe put in the lion-dad/kid senario, atleast Famara
Jatta knows very well the amount of money UE commits
to the Gambia's support programmes ranging from
poverty alluviation, to micro and macro finance
projects. Am sure you remember some weeks before the
elections how happy you were when you posted a dialy
observer story on the new EU funding programmes
amounting to about five humdred millions dalasis. Now
do you think the EU is foolish enough to just accept
childist comments from the Gambia government like a
vail hidden agenda and a so called contemptious
attitude of Marc to just recall him. What you  dont
understand about world politics is that from September
11th last year everybody speaks the same
language...this is the new world order. You are either
in it or you are just left out. I just cannot
understand why some of you will always go at any
lenght to defend what is even detremental to the very
socio-economic programmes that you talk about here.
But the Gambia just keep dreaming the rest world in
the mean time is moving.

E Sillah.
