Thanks Fabakary, this is common sense I thought, and I'm surprised smart folks like Halifa couldn't see that it is only Ousainou Darboe who has the credentials to lead a unified opposition to victory in September. I pray that they recognize this before too late. From the very little I know about Gambian politics I'm ready to support the coalition led by Darboe all the way. I will however pray for whoever the Gambian people choose come September for Allah to guide him and aid him to be a righteous leader. I did that in front of the Ka'ba early this year and I'll do it for whoever is the leader of that beautiful country.

Subject: Re: Ousainou Darboe & Amat Bah
You got it right, prince. I have never heard of your article but this
present one is full of sense for people are clever or are ready to accept
the truth.
You see what disturb many third world countries including the Gambia is,
denying the truth .
Amat and ousainou should not have left the coalision but if they did, then
lets ask our self why they do and what actually happens. So long that
people are denied truth and justice, choas, confusion and lack of trust will
be the order of the day and this is basically whats is happening in the
gambian oppositon. Ousainou and hamat pulled about 40% of the total votes in
the last presidential election. Now how on earth is ousainou or Bah not been
selected to lead the coalision . I think this is where the first mistake
arose from, and I think the current NADD executive should have the courage
to accept that mistake and appologise to darboe and bah and even give them
the chance for one of them to lead the coalision, by that the mistake would
have been rightly corrected . Untill then our aim to see unified opposition
that will have the potential to unseat the wise dictator who bent on
confusing many gambians will not be achievable.
Let me be frank many people in Gambia still believe jammeh is a good
president even though it is apparent that he lacks credibility . Therefore
the need for unify oppositon is pramount.
My respectable honourable (halifa) for the sake of tens of thousands of poor
gambia and thousands of gambians in diaspora who wanna see their country not
left behind in area of good governance ,democtracy and justice for all .
Please return to the negotiation table with darboe and co so the matter can
be solved amicably before its too late. I understand this process is going
on well if it is so. may I ask for it to be speed up am afraid we haven't
got much time.
I may be thousands of miles away but my heart and soul is with my country
and am ready to do my part in the struggle for our second indepence at any
time and what ever it may cost me.
The intend of the letter is not to undermine any authority of neither NADD
or UDP/NRP , instead things will be better if we are united in our common
endeavour. As a saying goes ''united we are strong and devided we fall''.
I salute you all. May the most mercifull help us realise our dream, and may
peace continue to reign in gambia and any ohter part of the world .
