  If the recent comments and condemnation of voices of dissent by some Darboe supporters for apparently shedding lights on the shortcomings of their leader is to go by, then our country, is far from being freed as a nation. While it  is a known fact that Jammeh is a  dictator bent on undermining the fabric of  Gambian society, some  UDP supporters online will not condone voices of dissent against their leader.This is not the type of Gambian, we are yearning for after the fall of Jammeh. That these so called Darboe  fans will not allow journalists to freely express their political views on the country's ailing democracy. We as a nation cannot be liberated, when our  people are not willing to respect and honour each others  political views. We are bound to have dissenting views in any true democracy and as such forces bent on condemning their fellow country men and women for having the darning mind to pick on Darboe, should be tolerant and stop the character assassination.
   
  There is no doubt in mind that if  Karamba Touray was Darboe's NIA Director, he will not hesitate to send me to jail for simply speaking my  mind on issues of National interest. Karamba, did not only stop at hauling insults at me, but went as far issuing frivolous threats against a journalists, who is  highly respected within and outside the country. Karamba's rantings, misplaced arguments and character assassination were based on tribal line devoid of the truth. 
   
  Karamba, I don't take your threats lightly, but be rest assured that I'm not a chicken hearted journalist to prey on. However, your threat "of contempt coming my way" as you stated have been documented for posterity. Go ahead and do you whatever you deem fit, I will never be a  blind PR for injustice. It is a known fact that you are UDP "SAMPURSA", but you should not be over carried by your vicious emotions to undermine genuine Gambians committed to the struggle. Amazingly, you were my strong supporter some weeks ago. How come the sudden U-turn? You remember the time , you e-mailed me, asking me to update you  on opposition developments back home?  Dispute this and I reproduce the text of my journalistic report, I e-mailed to you "JAHARANG" on this mighty post and beyond. Karamba, let me remind you that "JOURNALIST DO MBOKA" as such I'm not obligated to the UDP neither the PPP as you erroneously implied. 
   
  "Terrekaffo"  politics has failed The Gambia over the years, it would be fool hardy if you want to lure us into such dirty politics. Karamba, mediocre critics of your calibre will never hinder my journalistic work, which is hailed globally. Few dissenting mediocrities will never, and I repeat never frustrate Pa Nderry's the son of Niamina's well preserve thoughts and intentions for our country. I'm not here to please Ousainou, but to convey the wishes and aspirations of Gambians.
   
  Let us set aside politics of tribalism  or  "BADING FASA."  The press is the mouth piece for the voiceless and it is criminal for any interest group or person(s) to try to censor or condemn it for carrying out the work of a messenger. I hope Ousainou Darboe stops before you cause damage for his party, as your malicious comments are can only undermine his party. Your  position on the state of affairs suggested that you are a threat to press freedom. Your types should not be absorbed by any future administration given the penitential damage you can cause to any government worthy of its salt. Let us not allow the "GREEN BOYS"  to be repeated by any future government. You have a great day, NIA Chief  in waiting. I feel sorry for the Press if Karamba becomes NIA Chief.......
