This  Past  election  in  the  US  was  rigged,  what  did  we  say.  What
did  the  international  community  say?  nothing.  Am  sure  everybody
is  waiting  for  the  results  just  to  say  the  results  is  rigged,
even  if  nobody  win."

I  had  to  read  this  garbage  several  times  before  I  understood
what  you  were  trying  to  say. If  the  elections  in  the  US  was
rigged,  does  that  make  it  ok  for  the  elections  in  the  Gambia
to  rigged  too.  You,  biram  sowe,  did  not  say  anything  but  the
international  community  and  all  concerned  groups  did  say
something.  Lawsuits  are  pending  regarding  this
  past  elections.
Moreover,  what  does  the  US  elections  have  to  do  with  boycotting
the  election  in  the  Gambia.

When  did  you  take  a  poll  to  count  the  cynics  among  us?  What
makes  you  think  that  we  are  just  waiting  for  the  elections  to
be  conducted  and shout  out  its  unfairness?  Do  you
think  "everybody"  is  that  petty  and  cynical?

Again  you  wrote "well  where  you  have  a  opposing  force  outside
any  organization  who  have  no  intention  of  joining  the  people  but
calling  for  actions  that  will  always  bring  confusion  within  our
society  will  not  do  any  good  but  worst.  The  leadership  will  be
confused  or  the  people  will  overdo  things"

Utter  Garbage.  Is  this  another  Kebba  Jobe  in  the  making  or  are
you  one  of  those  fence  sitters?  What  in  the  world  makes  you
think  we have  no  intention
 of  joining  the  people.  I  am  against
the  boycott  of  elections  at  this  stage  but  the  people  calling
for  it  are  more  abreast  with  the  people  back  home  than  you.
What  makes  you  think  no  one  should  challenge  the  PDOIS?

You  have  never  taken  a  poll  to  determine  "people's"  intentions
on  the  L  so  you  cant  say  what  our  intentions  are.  Please
mention  what  you  know  and  quit  second  guessing  others.  That  is
what  causes  confusion.
