Sanusi,

I  am  just  baffled  by  seemingly  loyal  opposition  members  who  had
some  strong  and  viable  criticisms  of  the  APRC  just  switching
sides  based  on  insidious  sounding  reasons. I  read  in  the
independent  where  some  of  Dibbas  comments  on  the  APRC,  were  put
to  him  and  he  flatly  denied  them.  What  ever  happened  to  real
men/women  owning  up  to  their  words.  I  am  just  wandering  what
Jasseh-conteh  thinks  of  this  looming  change  of  heart  by  his  idol.

Young  Gambians  are  supposed  to  look  up  to  the  elders  of  today
but  it  seems  most  of  these  elders  are  pre-occupied  with  lining
their  pockets  and  safe-guarding  their  turfs  no  matter  what.  I
went  back  and  re-read  some  of  the  comments  of  Ebou  Jallow  and
Sheriff  Dibba  and  the  fact  that  they  can  just  switch  so  easily
makes  me  question  their  commitment  to  pursuing  the  truth  and
justice  in  the  first  place.  The  selfishness  in  our  country  is
our  biggest  problem  and  until  our  leaders  and  elders  start
thinking  of  Gambians  first  rather  than  themselves,  their  family
and  friends,  we  are  in  for  serious  trouble.

I  know  a  lot  of  young  Gambians  who  are  going  to  school  here
and  eventhough  most  would  like  to  go  home  someday,  many  others
are  making  plans  to  make  America  and  England  their  homes.  The
situation  in  The  Gambia  is  really  sad  and  I  get  dissapointed
anytime  I  see  someone  whom  I  thought was  honest,  display  their
true  nature  of  self-agrandizement  demeanor. I  am  waiting  on  the
post  on  SM  Dibba.  Maybe  I  have  a  better  insight  inot  the  minds
of  these  people.
