That the coward RAN AWAY from the audience and REFUSED to answer questions
is no surprise to me. Matter of fact I was surprised he even mustered the
courage to show up in the United States. Guess the Per Diem he was going to
receive was too tempting for him to pass on. So he decided to kill two birds
with one stone. He will receive his Per Diem and he will also regurgitate
the APRC propaganda and then run away from questions.
The reason I am not surprised that Joof absconded is that I consciously set
the stage for Joof and with the help of people like Lamin Jeng, Saul Khan
and Saiks Samateh, we told Joof what to expect in Washington, DC. Joof is
not a moron like Yaya and his junta. He knew exactly what was laying in wait
for him. He knew that the hostility that barricaded his boss (Yaya) in New
York when the latter came to the UN was alive and kicking in Washington, DC.
Frankly, I even thought that Joof will smell the coffee and not venture
outside Gambia and come to DC. So, I was surprised when some friends stalked
the APRC entourage and placed them at a TGI Fridays Restaurant in
Alexandria, Virginia (just outside DC). Information reaching us confirmed
concretely that Joof was in the States. My surprise was however was
short-lived when I thought about Joof's love for money and his desire to
receive Per Diem. I said to myself that at the end of the trip, Joof will
discover that no amount of Per Diem is worth the humiliation he is going to
live with for the rest of his life.
The fact that the vermin is caught running with his tail in between his
legs, will live with him for the rest of his sorry life. His children will
be reminded of his cowardice. His wife will be informed of his cowardice.
His colleagues in the Gambian Bar will hear about his cowardice. The morons
Joof calls Boss will also know what transpired in DC. Whether they will hold
that against Joof, is another matter. We must remember that the master moron
(Yaya) also ran from us when he came to the United States. But decent
Gambians like Joof's colleagues in the Gambian Bar (Ousainou Darboe, Ousman
Sillah, Emmanuel Joof and Mariam Denton) know a coward when they see one. I
bet Joof will henceforth have a tough time looking these people in the eye;
knowing that his cowardice in DC is well publicized in the country.
Joof knew that he cannot defend the indefensible. He can give press
conferences in Gambia and threaten to ban all ex-PPP politicians that want
to stand for the Opposition. But the vermin knows that he cannot come to DC
and peddle that garbage here. Gambians in Gambia should make the whole
country as inhospitable as DC was made for Joof and New York City was made
for the master moron last year. Do NOT allow the vermin to peddle their lies
and defend the indefensible. Boo them. Ask them tough questions. Point out
their lies. Make them feel and appear like the morons and criminals they
are. Do NOT let them defend the indefensible. Slaughtering children in broad
daylight and denying the victims justice, is indefensible. Abducting and
incarcerating innocent and defenseless citizens without trial, is
indefensible. Looting government coffers and rendering Gambians poorer than
they were seven years ago, is indefensible. Gambians should not allow these
vermin to show their faces in public to defend these indefensible positions.
No one banned Joof from speaking. No one threatened to bury him six-feet
deep if he said something the Opposition did not like. No one threatened to
victimize Joof and his family if he even insulted our parents. None of us
had the power to fire Joof from his job or put him in jail. But we had a
more potent power. We had the power to hit at Joof's conscience. We had the
power to be critical and articulate the horrendous AFPRC/APRC record. We do
NOT suffer from the deadly disease (ALES). With mere words, we had the
ability (power) to reduce Joof to 'Musa Melentan' (a nonentity). The
intangible here, was Joof's self-worth. The vermin did not want to suffer
the humiliation of being put on the spot. He had very limited options. He
knew he cannot hoodwink or intimidate some of us to swallow his garbage. He
revisited his options and decided to take the easy way out. When placed in
between a rock and a hard place, he decided to run away. He knew that he
could Either come out and implicate Yaya and his criminal government Or he
could make a total fool of himself by trying to defend child-murderers and
thieves. Seeing the limited options he had, he decided to make a fool of
himself rather than tell the truth and implicate Yaya. He knows that the
truth comes with a heavy cost for him. He tells the truth, he is another
ex-Attorney General (bringing this disgraced class of 'professionals' to a
record-setting eight AGs in seven years). So for Joof it is easier to make a
fool of himself than to alienate Yaya and lose his 'job'. It is easier for
the vermin to mortgage his soul to the Devil than to tell the truth about
the Massacre of our children, the torture and murder of Ebrima Barry, the
illegal incarceration of Dumo et al, the rampant corruption in the country
etc.
Joof would rather be humiliated together with his family and friends, than
tell the truth and annoy a criminal like Yaya. Should this man not be
ashamed to call himself a lawyer? He belongs to a profession where people
are taught to stand up and argue honestly for their different causes.
Gambian taxpayers paid to educate Joof. Gambian taxpayers are currently
paying Joof's salary. The same taxpayers paid for Joof's Per Diem to come to
the United States; paid for his air-ticket. What did Joof deliver to the
Gambian taxpayer? A 'lawyer' that CANNOT argue his position. This man is a
disgrace to his profession. This man is a disgrace to Gambians. He is a
disgrace to his family and friends. I feel sorry for his wife and children.
The husband and the father that could not stand his ground. The 'lawyer'
that ran away from a debate forum because he does not have ideas. The whiner
that will run home and cry that he was scared of the names people were going
to call him. Let Joof and his sympathizers give us a break. If they are
whining about verbal abuse, I wonder what victims of AFPRC/APRC atrocities
should be saying. Are people now telling us that Joof is so fragile that he
cannot endure name-calling from the Opposition? To those people I say: If
the vermin cannot take the heat, he should get the hell out of the kitchen.
Who asked him to leave his private legal practice to be the enforcer of the
criminal that is leading us? Did we in the Opposition force Joof to author
the Indemnity Decree and help further victimize our children that were
slaughtered by the government he works for? The vermin is lucky he came to a
civilized country where the worst thing that can happen to him is verbal
'abuse'. If we were them, they will not go to Alexandria, Va. and dine at
TGI Fridays. We would have done like the thugs in the July 22 Movement and
ambush them and incarcerate them incommunicado and deny ever setting eyes on
them. Let them get to Hell with their whining. Darn right we will not allow
them to defend the indefensible in a debate forum. If that means calling
them names, we will gladly do so. Is it not this same Joof that went to a
press conference in Banjul and said that all the ex-PPP politicians were
corrupt? Is this not name-calling? Worst still, this is baseless
name-calling; Lies.
Let the shameless vermin and whiner say what he wants. We all know what
happened. He was caught cowardly running with his tail between his legs.
