People, we are getting lost in irrelevances here. The point is the way in
which the UDP/PPP planned and executed a meeting that was supposed to include
all of the opposition, and reached a decision with half of them present, and
the fact that people are now bringing in all these irrelevant points is
amazing to me.

The fact that this has happened does not change the conviction to unseat
Jammeh, it just helps him to stay there because some people chose to split up
the opposition. This is the point, and the cheap effort to turn the tables
and now accuse me of supporting the Jammeh regime is too stupid to even spend
time defending.
I guess some of us have a hard time deciphering facts and we always resort to
the cheap accusations to shut people up if the ypoint out the truth.
