The state of Gambia is an internationally recognized democratic
government, and it is now a critical ally of the US which I know for a
fact. Indeed, I am a US citizen and I work for the US Government
without passion or prejudice. I am also fully aware of the State
Department reports and much more about the Gambia.

FYI: I had been prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice confronting
Jammeh; travelling to Angola, South Africa, Europe and
Colombia...mobilizing resources amongst friends/well-wishers in an
effort to end Jammeh's regime. This is no secret, and Jammeh himself
knows. Yet I have conclusively decided to reconcile with him and
support his efforts to built a better Gambia. I have personal reasons
for my actions and I believe this is my preprogative....such also is my
going back to Gambia. FYI again, I will go to Gambia and help the APRC
be a better party that is much more responsive to the needs of the
Gambian people. Baba Jobe, Yaya Jammeh and myself were the founding
fathers of the the APRC. Infact the party initials were my own
suggestion...just pray and wish me well.

The "opposition" will be taken seriously if and only if they respond to
Jammeh's call for reconciliation. Empty threats and imflammatory
rhetorics is regressive and an anachronistic throwback to a bygone
era. They should approach Jammeh with sincerity and forget about his
personality. It is the political culture, stupid NOT Yaya Jammeh( as
the US slang goes). It is reconcialiation that ended the Apartheid
regime and not the Umkatha guerrilla movement. It is reconcialition
that reintegrated democratic party politics in Ghana and Senegal NOT
the politics of vengeance.

It was very interesting to hear Jammeh disclose during his recent trip
in DC that he is the "servant of the Gambian people" and that he
knows "God gave him the power he has and not elections". He also
asserted that "inorder to for God to forgive you, you must learn to
forgive your fellow humankind". Is this not humanely humble? If
Jammeh is a tyrant or a dictator today it is because Gambians including
the "Opposition" need him to be such as to have something to oppose.
Jammeh does not think he is a tyrant but the "servant of the people",
and I completely agree with him.
