After all the posturing and furore, that was created by the ill-advised
words of the president he has now succumbed to common sense after being
warned of the dire consequencies that awaits his misguided threats towards
the media practitioners. It has now been made clear that registering with
the Media Commission is no longer compulsory, it is now left to those
concerned to either choose or not to choose to register. After all common
sense have become the winner in this saga, all those that took a principled
position regarding this matter should be applauded. The lessons from this
are immense it has demystified Jammeh as the omnipotent. From now on
politicians and civic society must not allow the politics of whim and
sentiments to take charge people must be ready to confront the injustices
that are being perpetrated. This is the only way Jammeh will learn to
respect the people, otherwise decrees of all sorts will become the norm of
what is purported to be a democratic state.
