 Yero & Abdu,

Dida Halake was at home in our country because Yaya and his gang of miscreants made him feel at home and gave him the gren light to engage in playing games on their behalf.. It is only leaders who are up to no good who make outsiders confidants and the free range to mistreat the sons and daughters of the land.
Talking about the failure of capitalism, the same players employing the same tactics that have left the economies of the Western World  in shambles are sufacing on the African continent with the help and encouragement of the likes of the APRC regime who do it for their own puny personal gain without care about the long term consequences. From a proliferation of banks that control the flow of money in and out of our countries to the cost of empty plots of land that have skyrocketed to 1 million dalasis. How many Gambians can afford to pay 1 million dalasi for a plot of land? Therefore, Africa is for sale to those outsiders who can afford to buy these plots of land and this will ultimately lead to Africans becomig servants in our own countries. 
It appears that most of our leaders have not learnt anything from experiences such as Apartheid in South Africa and the Rhodesian regime which led to the disenfranchisement of Africans in their own country, the remnants of which the people still cannot shed because those who controlled the land and the economy still do and God help anyone who attempts to correct that injustice.

 Uncle Suntou,
 
Karim did well by exposing this ‘khakatar’ of a human being called Dida Halake 
-halakoh bala. This is all the more reason why it is important to know who to 
confide matters with in today’s Gambia. 
 
What caught my attention though, he (Dida) pictured himself as belonging to the 
Fulbe tribe. If really so, all the Fulas of Fulladou washed their hands and he 
drank that dirty filth. That just choked my neck, because it is a shame that 
Dida Halake who came to Gambia recently was meddling the affairs of the country 
like he was doing. If for anything, he has taken his share fully. Those that 
support wrong doings, hypocrisy and wrong sentiments always fall a trap. Dida 
has become of a victim of his hypocritical egos and nuisance. He is probably 
looking for an exit door now. To that I say, hurry up!!
 
Also bro Lang, thanks for your commentaries as well on Obama.

seen marxism so relevant in todays political discuss than ever before. With the

capitalism is failing the poor and world class of the world. The way forward for 
classless society is utopian but yet its debate is relevant for our time and 
beyond.Is capitalism a guarantor to civil liberty, human rights and social 
justice? Does corporate take over of our economies a way forward to our 
development? Should civil society surrender their right to life for Shell in 
Nigeria to loot the oil wealth in the name of business usual? Pollute the 
environment and show no corporate responsibility for human rights and civil 
liberty of the indigenous? With these fundamental question marxism is relevant 
for the new force of change.> > SUNTOU TOURAY wrote:> Cuuled from the 
www.thegambiaecho.com> > Karim Exposes Disgraced Observer Chief Dida Halake > By 
Abdoukarim Sanneh, UK > Dida Halake has been keenly following the Gambian debate 
on the Internet. Just like the way he used the good and humane nature of James 
Alkali Gaye and Gambia's most proud legal professional Hassan Jallow, both 
former Cabinet Ministers in the deposed PPP government, this empty barrel uses 
Jammeh's regime for speaking or writing against progressive Gambians in 
Diaspora. Dida Halake thinks he was doing a good job. Failing to realize that 
most of us make the best of our stay here in United Kingdom to get the education 
and are ready and determine to serve our country of birth. Dida Halake failed to 
realize that among the list here are: - Ebrima Ceesay, Hamjatta Kanteh, Ebrima 
Chongan, Yankuba Darbo, Sarjo Bayang, Abdoukarim Sanneh, Dave Manneh, Kejau 
Touray, Bunja Touray, Alieu Badara Sowe, NB Daffeh et al whose ideal for the way 
forward is misconstrued by the dehumanizing regime as reactionary. Their thought 
and ideal (i.e. the Jammeh regime) warned them to kill and bury us> six feet 
deep.> Gambians are the most hospitable people I know and I vividly recall 
sometime around 2004-2005 when I was living in my Old Trafford den in South 
Manchester, just after watching a good Manchester United Championship match, my 
home phone rang. Naturally, I thought it was going to be a joyful football 
conversation but this time it was not. Who was it? A man named Dida Halake. What 
was his mission? > “Mr. Sanneh, he said, I learned that the National Union of 
Students of United Kingdom/North West are organising a Noam Chomsky programme. 
Can you please send me the detailed information and please expect me around; I 
am a Fulani like Gambian.” Halake volunteered. I curiously tried to monitor this 
Fulani-like appearance in both the programme in Manchester and Liverpool but to 
no avail.> In the beginning I then thought that was the end of the contact but 
after the occasion my telephone became the focus of late night discussions from 
Dida Halake, trying to build trust and confidence calling Yahya Jammeh a 
dictator. For one thing Dida Halake did not know from me was that Yahya A.J.J 
Jammeh was part of my MOJA-G Tobacco Road cell along with Momdou Lamin Sanyang 
and Edrissa Jobe nor did Halake know the level of hatred we developed in 1987 
against P.P.P regime at our gathering on No. 44 Box Bar Road, when our good 
father-figure and adviser, the Late Pa Peterson Jobe was the PPP Chairman of 
Banjul South. The compound used to be the late evening gathering place for Lamin 
Kiti Jabang, Dodou Taal and many PPP figures those days. Amazingly that location 
was also the compound we clandestinely conducted our political education, our 
library of Marxism books, storage of our clandestine newspapers such as the: 
Organs of Revolutionary Student-ORG and also NUGS through> which I attended the 
13th Congress of International Union of Students in Cuba in November 1987. I can 
recall one late evening taking a local boat from Half Die in Banjul with a 
friend who is now a practicing medical doctor in Banjul. All the effort was for 
the National Security Service (NSS) and the Criminal Investigation Division 
(CID) not to notice our movement given that I was arrested and detained in the 
wake of the 1987 student demonstration. With a special transport to Dakar we 
landed in at night at the office of the opposition LDMPT Party, which had built 
a strong solidarity with MOJA-G because of our advocacy of scientific socialism. 
The Cuban congress was an eye opener and when I returned, most of the friends 
like Edrissa Jobe and Momdou Lamin Sanyang had travelled to Germany and then I 
lost contact. For Yahya Jammeh, I knew much about his lack of ideological 
clarity and what I did was to create a distance from him.> When I went to The 
Gambia College still determined in my Marxism orientation and just looking into 
current affairs with Marxist orientation then I started to regroup through 
Student Union activists to loosely discuss issues with friends like the late 
Labadie Bojang, Ebrima G. Sankareh et al. Many of these guys did not probably 
know my revolutionary background. The only thing they knew was that since my 
aunt Nyimasata Sanneh was a junior minister; I might have been part of the PPP 
establishment.> With the emergence of the July 1994 coup, I was involved in the 
media and also writing articles about the crisis of the farming community while 
simultaneously working for Government and later with an NGO. My News Editors 
such as Ebrima Ceesay and Demba Jawo always banked on my knowledge about rural 
Gambia. When the writing was on the wall from the Pakau Njogu crisis, the 
dumping of European Household Waste as fertilizers and many more, I called for 
change- for a Second Republic. Why I refrained from the July 1994 revolution led 
by a friend and former MOJA-G associate, when most of my MOJA-G comrades had 
joined the band wagon can be summed up in the immortal words of the late Thomas 
Sankara which constitutes part of my mature political development: - “: A 
soldier without political education is (nothing other than) a virtual 
criminal.”> > > ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤> To
