Dr. Jallow & bro Karim,
Thanks for your observations. It is very interesting to see how things are unfolding. I think the conclusion is long gone that Jammeh needs to be picked up, for the interest of the Gambia we all love and cherish.
Just a question I have in mind: So we agree then it is quite ok to have key players in our struggle from those that served in both Jammeh's and Jawara Government? Buba Michael Baldeh was PPP's former minister who also served as both editor and one time insider somewhat. Dr. Sedat Jobe also served as foreign minister and later submitted resignation after a certain diplomat was given personal non-grata. A friend of mine here in NY informed me that Dr. Sedat Jobe supported the Government during April 10th and 11th. Our great doctor under rough scrutiny also served as has been exposed. Our own Baba Galleh (excuse me for referencing your name Baba) also helped during the review of the constitution and came up with recommendations that I understand where later butchered to what these misfits wanted to have. LJD served as magistrate at some point and we can give him a plus on the Brikama mosque case (The State Vs. Waa/Karamo Touray et al). Folks, where I am getting at here, and I am not trying to justify anything, but there is a pressing need to wholly unite around a common purpose to defeat the enemy and his forces.
What it perhaps boils down to is that we need to be tactical in winning against the evil forces. If we say all those that somewhat served Jammeh and Jawara shouldn’t be part of what we do, then I am afraid that our number will be very small. I understand fully those that are very critical against some of these opportunists. For once I am as always ever ready to take the naive card, as in my view politics is nothing but a 'big brother' association.
On a humorous note, If I ever decide to be a Gambian politician, I will for sure establish tens of websites/forums and hire people who will defend me at all cost…because the way I see some of these things being run, it is scary.
Best guys, and healthy debate guys….bro Karim, take it easy on your loved ones Joe and LJD. We shouldn’t let our tempers swallow us in these debates that won’t fill our stomachs like my dad used to put it when I was young.
Best regards,
Yero

Dr Sidat Jobe, Dr Amadou Janneh, Buba Baldeh, Lisa Sherman Nicholas today held a press congress in Dakar about the new wave of illegal arrest of our citizens. Keep it up guys.
Baba we all have to be focus if we are to make impact. Jammeh as you stated have insulted our collective national dignity and fighting that those not need betting and setting standard, Lot of the Guys in Dakar today have one way or another serve the regime but come to their sense that enough is enough!

I certainly agree with Dr. Jobe. Yahya Jammeh should be arrested and made to pay for his crimes against the Gambian people. That would set an example to any potential despot that they will have to answer to the Gambian people should they decide to abuse their power in any way, shape and form. It is encouraging to feel that in a post-Jammeh Gambia, the people stand ready to assume their rightful authority over the state. Jammeh has nsulted our co;llective national dignity for too long and it is high time that his abuses are brought to the drastic end they deserve. God bless The Gambia.
