Jabou,

I will not try to explain any allegations against Jammeh or the APRC
because it is absolutely futile.  The more one catalogues the wrongs by
the incumbency, the more persuasive the case for a National
Reconciliation becomes.  All other alternatives (political or military)
shall lead to further gridlocks at a very heavy price.

Your arguments to challenge the legetimacy of the APRC is totally
unsound.  Your logic may be quite valid yet the indubitable fact that
Jammeh was elected by a clear Gambian majority voters still stands.
Once the voters give their verdict in an electoral process it
automatically becomes a binding social contract between the elected and
the people.  Calling a democratically elected official a tyrant is a
misnomer to say the least.  The process of his election may be messy
but the ultimate oucome is unequivocally legetimate.

Yes Jabou, I am 100% convinced that Pres. Jammeh is seeking for a
National Reconciliation.  The process of reconciling is not retroactive
but progressive towards the future. It is also therapeutic and a
constructive engagement for all opposing parties involved.  It is also
definitely not about personalities but a space to create a more just
and democratic politics in the Gambia.

Ebou
