Ousman,
I like to join you in thanking Saul for hitting the nail precisely
on the head. In addition,if the truth means being anti Jammeh
so be it just as the song goes "who that cap fits let them wear
it".
Jammeh himself wanted the truth,he also wanted accountability
and transparency. He infact called on Gambians to come out in
force against him if he does something wrong,but we all know
what happened when the students did.
I hold him accountable for what he called for,especially when he
proves to be on the contrary.
G-L is an open platform that I believe encourages the participation
of all despite the individuals political affiliation or belief. I'm sure
Musa Jeng must have realized that Mr. Kebba Dampha has been calling
for debate on their 100 days program after Jammeh,but ihave not seen
much happening on that because our preference is to remove Jammeh
through the ballot box under a free and fair environment,though I
Share Mr. Dampha's concern that Jammeh does not have the integrity
to relinquish power even when defeated under a free and fair election,but
as most on the list,another coup is not our preferred path to go on.

Saul,
Thanks so much. I do not have to crack my brain any more. U have
said it all.
I hope it is clear to all that the Gambia-L is not popular
because it
delivers what one person wants. It is not dictated and not
suppressed. I
believe that if any of the media outlets back home have the same
sovereignty,
they would have been more circulated than the articles on the
L-.
Secondly, no one should be mislead that the papers from the L-,
are well
circulated because of anything else, but the truth and freedom
in this room.
If the people cant listen to the truth from their transistors or
read it from
their local papers, they are bound to get form somewhere else,
and this time
it happens to be the L.
So brothers and sisters, let us all keep the fight. there are a
lot of roads
to the corner.
Ousman Bojang.
