Mr. Makaveli:
I accept full responsibility in what I had said earlier. I salute your
insults with humility and understanding. You have every right to
call me all kinds of names. I will not engage you in frontal
attacks. We have more at stake in freeing comrades in jail. By
reaching out to Jammeh is by no means a surrender of principles.
Call me any name. I am not interested in any cabinet or government
position in the Gambia. I am a politician with objective
judgment after the storm for a better Gambia. It is better to
change for the interest of The Gambia. I will turn down any offer
from the APRC. I am within reach. It is your right to be who you
are. Insults after the storm will not take us anywhere.
By the way, it will be a treasure if we can go home to The Gambia
and help the opposition. My stance is conditional. My approach
is tolerance with the full understanding that the opposition has
a vital role to play in our country. I have embraced a kinder and
gentler approach. I have redefined myself, and I am willing to take
a risk in dealing with President Jammeh.
Naphiyo,
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh
Greensboro, NC/Kombo East Constituency

Subject: Re: Engaging The APRC
Crap! I've never witnessed this many U-turns in any political arena. ML
Jasseh-Conteh, you can spin all you want but be rest assured our 'true'
comrades can see through you. Who would have thought you of all people, all
that noise you made about APRC and Jammeh, would one day cross carpet and
feel good about doing so? You called Jammeh the Butcher of Kaninlai, yet
you went for the Butcher's knife and stab us right on the freaking back.
How dare you? How could you? "The Interest of The Gambia is Above All" my
foot! And you, what is your interest in all of this? Give us a break! This
is just mindboggling to say the least. No wonder you chose NOT to answer
those my questions and I not the least surprised at all. APRC stooges have
a tendency to avoid questions so join the ranks, comrade. Good luck, you
ambitious buffoon. Oh, and many thanks for THESE memories:
Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh,MBA Greensboro, NC/Kombo East Constituency WROTE:
"Long live democracy and down with dictator yahya dirimo jemus"
"If things hold right, the dictator will soon be flushed out of The
Gambia. "
"Long live democracy and down with dictator yahya jemus. I must remind you
that dictator yahya jemus is the worst thing that has ever happened to
The Gambia."
"I will for now on call this criminal, a dictator until he is driven out
of The Gambia. A military dictator, who is gradually sinking will hold on
to anything. This moron is a shame. Gambians must unite collectively and
imprenate a leader with a vision of political maturity."
" I hope dictator yahya does not hold on to anyone while he is sinking.
Dictator yahya jammeh is the worst thing that has ever happened to The
Gambia. This dictator must go. We are crying out loud and clear: dictator
yahya jemus, please let our people go."
"Long live democracy and down with dictator yahya. "
"Long live demoracy and down with the APRC government. "
" Comrades:
A manager who hires and fires without concern of turnover is a manager who
is gradually setting his own dismissal. The trend of events in The Gambia
are alarming. The dictator has lost it. No SANE person can remain in
office with this type of mentality. Dictator yahya jemus, you are
creating a vacuum.
I hope those dismissed can come together and join the opposition because
they do not have anything to lose. This dictator cannot disgrace you. Why
are you afraid to speak? What kind of employment law do we have in The
Gambia? Is the IDIOT at liberty to do whatever he likes? We may disagree,
but we are one family, and we must not let a lunatic dictate to us.
I just cannot understand the mentality of some Gambian intellectuals.
They have sold their souls to dictator yahya. They have been used and
disgraced beyond imagination. The very society that they vehemently
oppressed are now looking at them. What kind of dignity is this? Why are
they consumed with power and prestige? Dictator yahya has unmasked them
and they left standing alone. Your own children are at a lost? They are
saying, daddy, what are you going to do now that the dictator has fired
you?
Please brothers and sister show some dignity. Are you now convinced that
we were better off under Sir Dawda that the moron of kaninlai?
Naphiyo, Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh "
Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. Gambian Politics ..Yuk! So
much for THESE craps! Shame on you!
Naphiyo to you too,
Mr Makaveli.
PS: ?
1. What is your take on your (ex)NCP leader S.M Dibba, of all people, becoming an APRC propagandist and the devastating disenfranchisement effect your party now invariably faces ?
2. How true are these allegations that Jammeh bribed him prior to the Nov. elections, which might have led to his vehement denunciations towards the coalition for a united opposition?
3. Have you also become an opposition to the opposition now that he has allegedly taken sides with APRC?
4. Do you feel betrayed by your leader or do you believe this was the best thing that ever happened to NCP and Mr Dibba?
5. How will this affect/compromise your contribution to the Gambia-L?
6. Do you still remain Pro-Dibba and Pro-NCP Kombo East Constituency?
7. You wrote, "While Ebou has a right to support Yahya, we also have a right to question him on his motive for a sudden change of heart." If I re-phrase this statement with "Dibba" instead of "Ebou", would you still stand by these words?
8. You wrote, "Finally, comrades, we must be a loyal and respected opposition." I should assume that - being the seemingly forthcoming and courageous man you are - you would give the same advise to Dibba (of being a loyal and respected opposition), right?
9. Did you ever imagine(in your weirdest nightmares) that Dibba would mortgage his party to the APRC of all regimes?
10. BTW, Did you ever get your refund from the Election Fund Drive from Joe Sambou? (***You don't have to answer this part (o-:)hehehe!)
