Folks:

This is not an easy respond for me because I know Sering Nyang, but I am sadden that people are willing to do anything for the politics of what's in it for me.  I live in Atlanta, and I know this  organization -  APRC Atlanta. It is an organization in name only, and cannot even claim a support group of  more than ten people. If there is anything consisitent with this Org., the members have used  it in the past to get jobs with the APRC. It is nothing more than a recruiting agency for unqualify Gambians to get  jobs  with the Dictator. As for pieces like this one, is nothing more than reminding the power structure.

It is really sad

>       Sering Nyang, the secretary of the APRC wing in Atlanta, USA, has described the National Alliance for Democracy and Development (Nadd) as a directionless party that has no plans for The Gambia.
>   In a letter sent to the Office of the President, Mr Nyang asked: "If it has to take Nadd a very difficult and long time to organise and come out with a leader, how much time would they  need to put The Gambia on a stage we can be more proud of?"
>    
>   He then contrasted Nadd's ineptitude with the vigour and dynamism of the APRC as exemplified by the countless development projects that have sprung within its 10 years in power. "Jammeh has already demonstrated to what it is to the people, dreams come true. We have witnessed the Gambian constitution written by Gambians. A Gambia you cannot be a secretary of state and a parliamentarian. Gambians telecasting on nationally-owned TV station," he said.
>    
>   Other monumental achievements of the APRC, he added, included the establishment of the University of The Gambia and senior secondary schools in every division, which he said had made education very accessible to the majority of Gambians. 
>    
>   Nyang added that multi-million-dollar hospitals had also been set up all across the country to improve rural and urban healthcare system. 
>   According to him, The Gambia, under the APRC, now enjoys counrtywide reception of the national radio, besides Gamtel taking phone services to every corner of the country, and connecting The Gambia and the rest of the world. 
>    
>   He pointed out that parents no longer have to buy desks and chairs for their children, as was the case under the 30 years of the PPP misrule, which he damned with faint praise. "We will thank the PPP for building Yundum College, Bansang Hospital and a few dispensaries, and a ghost house airport terminal," he said sarcastically.
>    
>   He gave his sarcasm greater prominence by juxstaposing the puny achievements of the deposed PPP with one of the hallmarks of the Jammeh government. "The breaking news is[The] Gambia for the first time will witness the graduation of its own doctors studying in The Gambia in 2006," he said.
>    
>   Nyang then delineated the issues that would decide the 2006 presidential race. "Conceivable message and the willingness to convince the people; better plans and commitment to the economy; and the most desired to rule without fear or favour to make a better Gambia for the twenty-first century," he said.
>    
>   In all three fronts, Nyang argued that the APRC towers over and above Nadd, and will as a matter of course breeze the 2006 presidential race.
>   According to him the internet war  that is being waged by a handful of Gambians in  the Diaspora is not reprepresntative of the views of Gambians in the Diaspora.
>    
>   He contended that the internet warriors are disgruntled loyalists of the failed PPP government, who are still smarting from their loss of power.
