"HD,you still have faith in Yahya?" Suntou.
Absolutely. In as much as Yahya is a child of God/Allah just like yourself,
myself, and all our coleagues here. Do I still have faith in you? You better
believe it. (inventory in your Islam).
"i hope he disappoint me and release all the person's you mentioned
illegally detained unconstitutionally. i hope he do half of what you asked of him."
Suntou.
Consider that if Yahya were to do what we all enjoin him to do or moitie'
thereof, that your singular pleasure or disappointment is not terribly
significant. I want to share with you a story:
Most people fear and loathe John Edwards and they do not want to see him
elected President of these Unanted Istates. Their strategy therefore is to prop
up lesser candidates they could defeat in elections or in the event of a tie,
will fade away without comprehensive challenge. Likewise, a lot of people
have such a deep-seated disdain for Yahya, and perhaps rightly so, but that
such disdain robs them of their faith in the Almighty and they do not desire
salvation for Yahya. Think about this a little bit more. It is buried in
"burdensome" theology. Burdensome only in the weak at heart.
"you hold him in high esteem," Suntou.
I hold Yahya in equal esteem to you and any of our coleagues here. No more,
no less. And Yahya knows that. You know SUntou, sometimes we can be our own
worst enemies in the larger seismic scheme of things. What value will it
accrue me to hate Yahya to the extent I deny value he could accrue other?
"good to see that some still believes in yahya's human side.i
don't.unless,he produce the killers of koro ,himself first ,then the killers of deyda,again
himself ,and release kanyiba, and countless others from detention we don't
know about." Suntou.
I know your heart is in trhe right place but your method lethargic. If you
do not believe in Yahya's humanity, what then makes you believe he would do
all these things you mention immediately above that are the purview of human
considerations? You see what I mean don't you? I hereby suspend you from my
school of logic until you do your homework my Suntou.
"i hope yahya do what he knows best," Suntou.
And to encourage him to do what he knows best, we accept him in the realm of
knowledge and humanity. We do not castigate him. We do not ostracise him.
That will be good for him and us.
"his dictatorial command and let the bungling courts throw away the case
against fjm." Suntou.
SUntou, sometimes you befuddle me. Seriously. My bestest friend Brutus,
though not devoid of foible, did himself recognise the oblivion of these and
those extremes. He cautions himself unawares that the death of caesar upon
further consideration, might not innure anaesthetic enough for Rome's salvation.
Only Brutus did not deliberate in exclusive sobriety. He had Marullus, Cassius,
Cimba, and Kafka to cloud merit in more due-diligence. Do you like Brutus
Suntou?
"she need her freedom to be with her children." Suntou.
Indeed, and more importantly because her further incarceration does not
yield Yahya or Gambia an iota of good, and that she was created with inalienable
rights to due-process under law.
"you congratulate yahya on the birth of his new born baby. well ,i don't
know what to say about that." Suntou.
Just pray for Yahya's newborn. That's all. It will not take anything away
from you to pray for other's goodwill.
"the children didn't do any thing to us yet." Suntou.
WHy this expectation of evil. I pray drop the "yet" from this commentary.
"i wish him a good life and prosperity and that he shouldn't emulate his
father's beastly behaviour and wrong ideas of development." Suntou.
Okhooo!!! As my knucklehead cousin is wont to quip!
"haruna, i hope yahya's handlers can advice him wisely before it is too
late." Suntou.
Why not you advise Yahya instead of passing that buck to other. We are
speaking of advice. Not castigation.
"he is getting children and when the going get tough ,the family don't get
spared. they get mobbed."
Suntou.
This is not Islamic. Suntou I don't think you listen to me when we converse
over the phone. Do you now understand what I mean when I share that I do not
understand your Islam? It is not that your heart may not be in the right
place. But that it is heavily burdened with peripheral considerations that run
counter to your forward advance in the journey toward your Islam.
I am very sad Suntou. I want to take you as a brother and the uncle of mine
that you are. Much like my uncle Sidia. But you risk tarnishing your relation
with your Allah, unlike my other uncle Sidia. I think you should seek his
counsel. He inspires me tremendously even though I do not agree with his
politics.
Yours sincerely, Haroun Rashid. Ibn Mousa. MQDT Darbo. Al Mutawakkil.

It is a beautiful day here in the US. I trust it is even more beautiful in
Gambia as you prepare to forgive those who have trespassed against you in
honour iof Eidul Adha.
I take this opportunity to wish you and the people of Gambia Eid Mubarak.
May Allah continue to guide you in execution of your duties as President. I
will
be remiss if I do not congratulate you on the birth of your son recently. I
wish the first lady well and prayers are due you. You will enjoy your new
bundle of joy. He is Allah's blessing to you and your family and many thanks
are
due him for the honour. May Allah fill your heart with joy and consideration
as he has moved the Saudi King to reconsider punishment for muslim women in
Saudia.
My son is having a rough time adjusting to this daylight saving time because
he tells me we the people stole an hour of playtime from him. Kids. Haroun
Bin Haroun is the funniest human ever born and he shows signs of immense
mental endowment. Don't expose your son to Churaye or other incense because
an
inordinate concentration of it in the air he breathes can injure his
delicate
respiratory organs or leave him vulnerable to asthmatic conditions later.
I want to commend your government for renewed vigour in providing services
and for renewed zeal in administering the affairs of the nation. High
commendation goes to your new Secretary of state for works and
infrastructure, Hon.
Lamin Bojang. He has set the tone for harnessing value for Gambia and I am
particularly pleased with his recent focus on the River. We must all give
him
our support and encouragement. I understand he has challenged Gambians to
assist
in the rebirth of River Transport and I just might take him up on the offer.
I would however like to share this advice with you and the Hon. Bojang. I
hope you take it into advisement:
Like you, I think the River is the single most significant asset to Gambia.
The river defines our nationhood and without it, there would not have been a
Gambia. Its sustainable development should therefore be the priority of
state
as the hon. Bojang has expressed. I would like, in support of you and
Bojang,
to set up a Department of Transportation with its Secretary of state. This
will bring further focus to the values of the River and indeed all land,
sea,
and air transport for Gambia. The department for works and infrastructure
risks being overwhelmingly burdened with transportation and the new values
Hon.
Bojang foresees in the River. Perhaps once formed, you could allow Hon.
Bojang to head that transportation department, and promote one of his able
under-secretaries to Secretary for Works and infrastructure. The two
departments
will then work hand in hand to realize your vision of a vibrant economy. I
think
Hon. Bojang's hard work and industry is likely to rub off on the remainder
of your administration, and that can only be good for you and the nation. In
this permutation, the department of transport will be responsible for
standards and policies related to transport, research into modes of
transport and
their alternatives, tarrifs, licenses, permits, and development policy. The
infrastructure department will be responsible for construction, repair, and
maintenance of transport and other non-transport infrastructure. That task,
when
properly executed, is enormous and complementary to all departments of
state.
I would like you to consider offering Hydrology, Hydraulics, and
Transportation at the University of Gambia to support the departments of
Hydrometeorology, works & infrastructure, and Transportation respectively.
I want to commend the Jammeh foundation for their philanthropic work
throughout the year and Mr. Jammeh deserves high commendation. One thing
that always
bothers me is that even though the foundation is doing good work and your
heart was in the right place to have set it up, it has always been
unconstitutional. Its good work therefore is burdened with unlawful
coorporation. I have
been thinking of ways you could make it legal without interrupting the good
work it is doing but at every invention I stumble on ethical considerations
that suggest the following:
1. You may gift the foundation to your wife and Mr. Jammeh and remove your
name from it. In effect, it will be reconstituted in-situ. Then allow Mr.
Jammeh to operate it with his team as non-profit charitable foundation as
was its
aim to join the family of NGOs in the Gambia. I think that will be
magnanimous of you. You may donate to it from your earnings anytime you
desire and the
public will be free (without coercion) to support its good works.
2. Or you could disband it totally and merge it into your family farm in
Kanilai. The work that the foundation is currently doing is basically
subsidising what your administrative departments ought to be doing. You may
supplement
your departments' efforts by donating to specific projects aimed at
assisting
the sick, the indigent, and the dis-eased.
The reason I advise due-diligence in this matter is that I so admire the
work the foundation is doing and I was considering partnerships between the
Foundation and The Global Democracy Project, but my conscience cannot allow
such
partnership with the current structure of the foundation. Should you desire
the 1st advice, I will be free and encouraged to begin partnership with Mr.
Jammeh and his foundation. Should you desire the second advice, I promise
that
The Global Democracy Project will replace the work the foundation is
currently
engaged in and more.
We will be seeking to constitute legally in Gambia very shortly and I wish
to encourage you to afford our officers a cordial and conducive operating
environment to yield a good turn for democratic life in Gambia. We will send
our
Resident Director for Gambia to present our incorporation papers to your
good
offices as a gesture of goodwill and partnership toward the common goal of
Gambia's development. Please allow him/her all necessary facilities that are
allowed all Non-governmental organisations. I shall telephone you and send
you
official introduction and greetings at the appropriate time. Here, I merely
present the vision in conjunction with my two advices to you for the Jammeh
Foundation. May Allah continue to bless you and Gambia.
Sincerely,
Haruna Darbo.
