Jabou:

Thanks for your comments.

I still think that your criticism of the PPP and Sir Dawda is unnecessary and
misguided at this point.  This based on the fact that you have no solid data
to back up your accusation that they hijacked the political process.  As I
stressed earlier, those claims are unfounded because Alliance or not, the PPP
still would have returned to active Gambian politics.

On your accusations of nepotism and such, to get a better perspective of the
PPP's reign vis a vis the other regimes at the time, one has to compare their
reign to others in the sub-region.  While the whole sub-region was mired in
an economic and social quagmire during this time, the Gambia was relatively
peaceful and prosperous.  Yet, certain elements who have personal gripes with
the PPP do nothing but sling mud at them during this critical Alliance
process.

This is what you and others have been doing.  These type of tactics will do
nothing but cause harm and discord in the quest towards a greater Alliance.
This, especially when most of the issues ou have raised cannot be
substantiated.  This is what bothers me about the suddenly rash approach you
have taken...
