Cherno, maybe you should add; 'except votes'. That is the barometer for
everything political.

Thanks

meant to bring the groups in London together. Matter of fact it was put
together on short notice while the Raleigh conference is being planned for
several months.
> The fact remains that Halifa's explanation of not attending is an attempt
to justify him and his party's failure to answer to a call to dialogue. We
have traveled this route before over and over... When a conference was
organized in Atlanta in July 2007 in which Halifa was in attendance he
advanced the same agenda; that the conference was putting the cart before
the horse... that it was premature to organize such a conference in the
Diaspora without coming to an agreement...
> This time around again, he excuses for PDOIS's failure to attend are just
that excuses. How do you expect to come to a consensus without meeting? How
do you expect a constituents as large as the Diaspora to come to a
consensus before organizing a meeting for all constituents?
> Is Halifa telling us that CONSENSUS is a precondition for him and PDOIS
to attend a future conference in Norway or Sweden, Senegal or London? He he
insinuating that the Diaspora must have a consensus on what? before they
can organize a conference?
> Is he insinuating that DA Jawo is politically inactive and as a result he
doesn't have an opinion or say on what has transpired?
> Gambians are witnessing the same repeated feet dragging by Halifa and
PDOIS... Anything they don't seems to originate they don't want to be a
part of... This is worrisome and counter productive...
> This time around we will not sit idle and let these perfectionist leaders
derail our efforts to bring the constituents together to discuss national
issues... That is the call... bring people together without conditions to
discuss the way forward for Gambia. What is not clear about that? What
consensus do we need to organize a meeting....
> We openly invite Halifa and Co to come to these conferences, to the
airways away from their comfort zones of Foroyaa and PDOIS central
committee to discuss matters with the country. Why are they afraid to face
other constituents? Why are they worried about the arguments and the
disagreements to be discussed openly... Are they more worried about their
image than the future of the country?

deliberately misleading his audiences by stating that:

diplomatic as usual and calling a dishonest and insincere editor as naive.
