We should move it from the name calling and labeling the former government dictatorship to discussing how some of the policies that Burama think made Jawara "dictator" can be enhance and changed in a new Gambia? How difficult was it or is it to change those policies.. How can we continue to challenge the status quo and mobilize our people and give them hope that change can come to Gambia... The discussion can be swayed to a more substantive issues..

This is about understanding our past in order to perfect the future. Denial and/or minimizing is a mistake. Comparison to Yahya is not helpful because both are not the yardstick.
