Ansumana Kujabi,

Thank you for your comments about my/our "relentless pursuit of justice".

I do as much as I can to forward the case for free and fair presidential and
parliamentary elections in The Gambia, and I also endeavour to give pointers
for action to the opposition parties on the ground back at home.

However, my time is extremely limited these days.  I have to prioritise my
commitments and make the best judgements on using my time in the light of
these priorities.

Over the last year, I have expended a huge amount of time and energy on the
"Message to All Gambians" series – at the last count, the 24 messages
totalled in excess of 60,000 words.  Through the year, feedback to these
messages on the Gambia-L has been somewhat limited.

When I have the time, I press on with the series despite the lack of
response in The Gambia or the International Community.  These days, I don’t
have adequate time in my hands like before. But if I felt that my writing
was not falling on "deaf ears", particularly as far as the opposition
parties are concerned, then I perhaps would be more inclined to pressurise
myself to the limit and to write more on these important issues.

Anyway, as my work load lessens over the next 3 or so weeks, I shall
endeavour to restart my regular postings "My Message to All Gambians", and I
pray that the opposition in The Gambia – this time around - will have more
open ears to what I (and others) are saying.

Please do not imagine for one minute that I have been "overtaken by events":
that is not in my nature.  I have a huge burden of other commitments, and
combined with the lack of unified opposition in The Gambia to the awful
Jammeh regime, I am more inclined to conserve my energies and dedicate them
to acting as an interface between my sources and Gambia-L.

It is in this way, at the moment, it seems to me that I can make the best
contribution to the struggle for freedom and justice in The Gambia. God
willing, one day soon the opposition parties will take note of what needs to
be done in order to oust Jammeh and the APRC through the ballot box.
