Dear Mr. Kujabi:

You must not be embarrassed by your Jola heritage because Jammeh is one,
and acts so recklessly.  Most Jolas I know are hard-working,and
peace-loving. The Jolas like the Manjagos have traditionally been
peoples who practiced "true democracy" as power was never concentrated
in one person.  Power was diffused and non-hierarchical, at least for
the men.

Jammeh has used his Jola heritage, like he uses religion, blame and
scapegoating to protect his own political/economic interests.  Do not
have Jammeh undermine your self-esteem.  Work toward his removal.

Abdoulaye
