It is quite interesting that the former vice president under Jawara
happen to be on both sides of the debate on the issue of the defunct
confederal arrangements in his interview on Freedom Newspaper online
radio. It is understandable for him to defend the arrangement since he
was probably the prominent architect (that is what we were led to
believe) of the framework. The central issue he fails to dilate on
since he tried to justify arrangement was the absence of the Democratic
Process. The Confederal Arrangement was so profound a Change that 
alters the functioning and
Existence of The Republic that it SHOULD have been subjected to a 
Referendum
and CERTAINLY NOT under a STATE OF EMERGENCY. If that is NOT Politically
expedient tell us what is. The debate is not about holding brief for
jammeh against the PPP it is Holding the PPP responsible for the
Creation of the environment that necessitated the advent of jammeh and
the aiding of the AFPRC/APRC by the PPP apparatchiks. One thing we can
agree on, All of us must direct OUR efforts to remove the dictatorship
for now then provide the mechanisms for Redemption (PPP).
  While we are at it shall we exercise some modesty; check our
tempers and be civil in our exchanges for we on the other side have a 
lot of umbrage and some;  we are putting
checks on. This debate we will have and we must have; Meanwhile Our 
collective Task is removing jammeh.

Farang.
