I am not an engineer not a philosopher or narcicist so I understand the
inherent value of a well constructed project. I wish to commend Hamjatta for
his treatise on the effect of PDOIS'passive mass mobilization(if there can
be such a thing).

I have to say that I also commend PDOIS for the work they have done and
continue to do in establishing a platform in an enlightened mind that can
only act once seasoned and irritated. Indeed, PDOIS' efforts have been a
useful precursor to Hamjatta's sentiments and therefore, political history
and theory notwithstanding, the latter is a natural progression of the
former.

In other words, Hamjatta's observations supported by anecdote, is
intrinsically the result of years of PDOIS' work. This means that his
observations are not to discount the value of PDOIS' efforts and nor do I
believe were his intentions. Consider that the fruit of PDOIS' labours is
ripening. The two modalities of ridding Gambia of the Jammeh menace can and
should be employed simultaneously and must be backed by equally formidable
armed force.

Consider this:
You have an organisation that educates and establishes capacity for
analytical or critical thought about human behavior and governance because
you have no schools in Gambia that will teach you such.

Then you have an mass of communities that observes vigils and sit-ins,
witholds payment of taxes to a non-representative government, reverts back
to subsistence living because the civil service is rendered useless.

And thirdly, you have an organisation of Gambians who pledge their
individual lives in martyrdom for the benefit Gambia, not expecting the
reward of replacing Yahya. This group then acquires arms and training from
sympathetic and similar groups at the ready to counter any use of force by
the Jammeh regime to quell civil disobedience.

This threesome will present a formidable and rapidly deployable force to be
reckoned with. The third will remain the watchdog of freedom and industry in
the Gambia even after Yahya is gone (god knows where) and serves to give
notice to any succeeding government that tyranny, dishonesty, and murder
will never again be tolerated regardless of third party opinions.

Such is serious overhaul of both psychy and demeanor.
