Demba

Make the calling. I'll surely present my views on any matter Gambia. In
fact I supposed there is nothing unknown to yourself.

The challenges and difficulties are very rooted in our past. That past is
PPP. PPP was not only a political party but also both a socio-culture and
socio-economics. The understanding is very relevant not for name calling
but making tomorrow better. Denials and minimization is an err.

We need to overhaul the structure along side social reorientation.
Tinkering and massaging the edges will produce continuation with another
person at the helm.

I have asked you to give me chance to present my case to the nation without
much panel interruptions. Still waiting for your invite.

I'll break the convolution into bite side pieces and suggest the logical,
practical and political entry point. I will show how it should and can be
made a nation fight. Tell the organizational development needs and identify
roles of every individual along the way. Surely a time consuming and
expensive preposition but there is no shortcut.

I also want us to reduce our focus on Yahya as a person and to Gambia (as
ours). What we will do and if done right will make Yahya and/or any person
in Banjul at the time inconsequential. The consequential will be the people.

We have a fight. It's a difficult fight because we have to fight ourselves.
It's culture! It's economics! It's religion! It's trade! Actually is the
mindset of the average Gambia.

What you and me supposedly want will not come and sustain until majority of
our compatriots have a requisite capacity.

Regards

Burama
