My dear brother !
".............With these fundamental question marxism is relevant for the new force of change. "
It could not have been said better, what a great idea.
But one thing for the records,the home front Moja leadership,voted with a clear  majority,against the military coup,you might have not been at that meeting,that is to say not "most of your comradesth"    those who  joined the "band Wagon" have been the few you know.Keep on the good work and great progress with the studies.Keep strong.

I have seen marxism so relevant in todays political discuss than ever before. With the credit crunch, global food crisis, neolibralism dictated by corporation etc capitalism is failing the poor and world class of the world. The way forward for classless society is utopian but yet its debate is relevant for our time and beyond.Is capitalism a guarantor to civil liberty, human rights and social justice? Does corporate take over of our economies a way forward to our development? Should civil society surrender their right to life for Shell in Nigeria to loot the oil wealth in the name of business usual? Pollute the environment and show no corporate responsibility for human rights and civil liberty of the indigenous? With these fundamental question marxism is relevant for the new force of change.> > SUNTOU TOURAY wrote:> Cuuled from the www.thegambiaecho.com> > Karim Exposes Disgraced Observer Chief Dida Halake > By Abdoukarim Sanneh, UK > Dida Halake has been keenly following the Gambian debate on the Internet. Just like the way he used the good and humane nature of James Alkali Gaye and Gambia's most proud legal professional Hassan Jallow, both former Cabinet Ministers in the deposed PPP government, this empty barrel uses Jammeh's regime for speaking or writing against progressive Gambians in Diaspora. Dida Halake thinks he was doing a good job. Failing to realize that most of us make the best of our stay here in United Kingdom to get the education and are ready and determine to serve our country of birth. Dida Halake failed to realize that among the list here are: - Ebrima Ceesay, Hamjatta Kanteh, Ebrima Chongan, Yankuba Darbo, Sarjo Bayang, Abdoukarim Sanneh, Dave Manneh, Kejau Touray, Bunja Touray, Alieu Badara Sowe, NB Daffeh et al whose ideal for the way forward is misconstrued by the dehumanizing regime as reactionary. Their thought and ideal (i.e. the Jammeh regime) warned them to kill and bury us> six feet deep.> Gambians are the most hospitable people I know and I vividly recall sometime around 2004-2005 when I was living in my Old Trafford den in South Manchester, just after watching a good Manchester United Championship match, my home phone rang. Naturally, I thought it was going to be a joyful football conversation but this time it was not. Who was it? A man named Dida Halake. What was his mission? > “Mr. Sanneh, he said, I learned that the National Union of Students of United Kingdom/North West are organising a Noam Chomsky programme. Can you please send me the detailed information and please expect me around; I am a Fulani like Gambian.” Halake volunteered. I curiously tried to monitor this Fulani-like appearance in both the programme in Manchester and Liverpool but to no avail.> In the beginning I then thought that was the end of the contact but after the occasion my telephone became the focus of late night discussions from Dida Halake, trying to build trust and confidence calling Yahya Jammeh a dictator. For one thing Dida Halake did not know from me was that Yahya A.J.J Jammeh was part of my MOJA-G Tobacco Road cell along with Momdou Lamin Sanyang and Edrissa Jobe nor did Halake know the level of hatred we developed in 1987 against P.P.P regime at our gathering on No. 44 Box Bar Road, when our good father-figure and adviser, the Late Pa Peterson Jobe was the PPP Chairman of Banjul South. The compound used to be the late evening gathering place for Lamin Kiti Jabang, Dodou Taal and many PPP figures those days. Amazingly that location was also the compound we clandestinely conducted our political education, our library of Marxism books, storage of our clandestine newspapers such as the: Organs of Revolutionary Student-ORG and also NUGS through> which I attended the 13th Congress of International Union of Students in Cuba in November 1987. I can recall one late evening taking a local boat from Half Die in Banjul with a friend who is now a practicing medical doctor in Banjul. All the effort was for the National Security Service (NSS) and the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) not to notice our movement given that I was arrested and detained in the wake of the 1987 student demonstration. With a special transport to Dakar we landed in at night at the office of the opposition LDMPT Party, which had built a strong solidarity with MOJA-G because of our advocacy of scientific socialism. The Cuban congress was an eye opener and when I returned, most of the friends like Edrissa Jobe and Momdou Lamin Sanyang had travelled to Germany and then I lost contact. For Yahya Jammeh, I knew much about his lack of ideological clarity and what I did was to create a distance from him.> When I went to The Gambia College still determined in my Marxism orientation and just looking into current affairs with Marxist orientation then I started to regroup through Student Union activists to loosely discuss issues with friends like the late Labadie Bojang, Ebrima G. Sankareh et al. Many of these guys did not probably know my revolutionary background. The only thing they knew was that since my aunt Nyimasata Sanneh was a junior minister; I might have been part of the PPP establishment.> With the emergence of the July 1994 coup, I was involved in the media and also writing articles about the crisis of the farming community while simultaneously working for Government and later with an NGO. My News Editors such as Ebrima Ceesay and Demba Jawo always banked on my knowledge about rural Gambia. When the writing was on the wall from the Pakau Njogu crisis, the dumping of European Household Waste as fertilizers and many more, I called for change- for a Second Republic. Why I refrained from the July 1994 revolution led by a friend and former MOJA-G associate, when most of my MOJA-G comrades had joined the band wagon can be summed up in the immortal words of the late Thomas Sankara which constitutes part of my mature political development: - “: A soldier without political education is (nothing other than) a virtual criminal.”> > > ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface> at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html> > To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l> To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to:> [log in to unmask]> ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> > > ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface> at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html> > To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l> To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to:> [log in to unmask]> ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> > > ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface> at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html> > To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l> To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to:> [log in to unmask]> ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> > _________________________________________________________________> > All new Live Search at Live.com> > http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000006ukm/direct/01/> ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface> at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html> > To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l> To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to:> [log in to unmask]> ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤>
