Hey,
And why the hell should that be any justification for the murder of innocent
school children? Why should the wrongs in the West or elsewhere be a morality
card to be played by our leaders whenever our rights in Africa are trampled
upon? It is this type of moral idiocy that gives cold comfort and allure to
the poses of mass African murderers. Hypocrites and dodgy characters just
can't help themselves with this shameless hypocrisy online!
Further you rambled "I am not a politician and have less concern about
politics. One thing i am acquainted with on the Gambia-L is,  the monotonous
tone of ideas. I would have liked to see a well balanced debate dealing with
dexterous issues." Great. Now, in us you've got partners. Why don't you give
us those brilliant ideas smart people like you are witholding from "ordinary
Gambians"? And this "i am not a politician" whingeing? Brother spare us! Talk
about self-righteousness. Who is a politician here? Most of the folks waging
this war have no interest whatsoever in partisan politics. They just can't
stand the injustice going on in the Gambia. When did having a sense of
justice become synonymous with being a partisan political operative? I hope
i'm not preaching to the deaf or a semi-literate who doesn't have the
literary capacity to grasp elementary issues here.
Somehow, when you chafe the surface of this self--styled "i am not a
politician" dodgy characters, the conflict of loyalties and indifference that
confronts you, says it all. As it is, there is no neutral Gambian out there -
you are either for against. Your choice is your absolute prerogative. But to
come here and keep harping on such claptrap "i am not a politician" or to
relativise the sufferings of Gambian is utter rubbish and as a cumulative
effect, conly provoke indignation and disgust. And if you feel Gambia-L is
all that bad, how come you are still hanging out here? For chrissakes you
don't live in the Gambia - where daily political oppression limits your
choice. I suggest that if you feel  this List is no longer appropriate to
your taste or your "brilliance" or caters to your insatiable and honed
intellect, you look should do yourself justice and look elsewhere. This is
cyberspace and folks still have the freedom to choose. If your pal, Essa
Bokarr Sey's love affair with the List is not a testimony of the
productive-ness of Gambia -L, i wonder what will? You could do us all a
favour and come out of your closet. Staying in the closet makes you look like
the ridiculous desert ostrich who thinks burying his head in the sand shields
him from being ever exposed. Your problem is you don't have a clue as to the
sophistication of the people you are dealing with here. That in essence is
the problem of all Jammeh allies.
