Demba,
Good observation. This is the reason why Daffeh is not winning
the argument on the party-led coalition effort. If everything is to be
tabled and discussed behind closed doors, what else do we need the
people to vote for.
Moreover, we are talking about a change of government, that
is supposed to build the institutional and policy frameworks, that
will correct more than three decades of a forced and consolidated
"political goodwill."
What we failed to appreciate and acknowledge, is that this is
not about the largest opposition political party, or the smallest
opposition party, but a conviction for a battle of intent and purpose
that will leave in its wake, a formidable wind of change that can
uproot the more than 30 years of the entrenched political culture.
There is no short cut around this thing. It has to be done
the right way.
Rene

Daffeh, I wonder if you understand that the public is a stake holder
of the UDP?
In a representative democracy all cannot gather in one space and
discuss. So putting party position in the public space is an important
pillar in any genuine democracy!!!
The international community and the Gambian Diasopra are also important
and UDP like any other party is better served communicating its
programs to the public UNLESS you think only Daffeh & and UDP UK need
to know what the party is about!!
Information is power my friend, you just need to know how, when and
what to communicate!!!
Thanks
Demba

Guys, you can all be assured that UDP will never negotiate a coalition
in the public space as that will only generate unnecessary polarisation
and further division within the opposition.
What UDP has advocated for and will continue to advocate is for all
parties to meet at the table and behind closed doors to iron-out their
differences. Thus, the notion that the UDP will or should throw out a
proposal in the public space as a pre-condition for talks is
unacceptable and delusional on the part of Halifa Sallah and his PDOIS
party.
If the Ayatollah (Halifa) is genuinely interested in a United Front as
he claim to be , then why is it taking him so long to agree to meet the
UDP leader at the table despite being persistently pursued by the UDP
leadership? Kind RegardsDaffeh

Jow Ha! Ha! Ha! No, we don't have to reach that level, my good friend.
Just advice your Ayatollah (Halifa Sallah) to stop being dishonest and
trying to play with the intelligence of others. There are no fools
around to be played with; not in this moment when the stakes are this
high. Thus, he should wake-up from his slumber of delusion and
disingenuousness, and meet the UDP leadership at the table and behind
close doors for real substantive talks. If they agree to coalesce, they
can put out a joint statement in the public space explaining the
key point of the final settlement. If, on the other hand, there is no
agreement, then all parties can issue a statement explaining their
version of the story and the public can decide who was being real and
who is fake in this whole coalition debacle. This is the conventional
approach and it is what the UDP subscribes to. Putting a coalition
proposal in the public space before it is even discussed will lead to
nothing but further polarisation and division in the opposition camp.
That will favour nobody but President Jammeh and his APRC party. I
remain your good friendDaffeh

Goro:
I was afraid I will come across as PDOIS bashing; far from it. I am
just as
frustrated with the circus as many out there. I shared here my
frustration with
UDP and Ouisainou's double talk and Daffeh assured me it is not their
(Daffeh
and UDP’s) problem that I have a problem with that. However, I will
make my take
known and I think I deserve it for my sanity.
PDOIS, UDP, NRP, GMC etc. decided to get in the game not because
thousands
rallied at the stadium to call for them to come in and lead us to
freedom from
tyranny. Why should any of them set a condition on the people for them
to come
together? UDP can claim all the numbers they want, they have not been
winning;
that's the point! Ousainou flip flopped (sorry Haruna) so many times on
this
united front issue that it can make you feel dizzy trying to follow the
flops.
He did the same in 2006, so nothing new there. Now PDOIS Central
Committee is
taking over the pancake session. What are we to expect of these folks?
It is absolutely clear what folks want from the opposition - hope and
clear,
united leadership - to see the back of Yaya. That is the immediate need
for now,
doctrines of governance, sovereignty and good citizenship will fall in
place.
Yaya have been indoctrinating Gambians for the past 17 years and the
odds are
stacking up as we go. He is teaching us how to hate each other. He is
teaching
us how to undermine each other. He is teaching us how to depend on him.
He is
teaching us how to be afraid of him. He is teaching us how not to unite
against
him. He has been doing a darn good job of all this. He has tyrannized
Gambians
so much so that we are getting afraid of our own shadows! He has an
agenda for
Gambians and it is working am afraid to say.
