While I'm STILL waiting on someone to bring me up to speed in terms of WHAT
was achieved at the ALD gathering, I nonetheless refuse to put blames on
the organizers notably Latjor and James, for whether we like it or not, minor setbacks( or screw-ups) are bound to happen when dealing with
gambians period. Saul did named a few and I therefore will not dwell on
things you people already know all too well about ourselves. It ain't easy
being a gambian. My disappointment came when UDP announced their
cancellation and decided not to attend on a late notice. I understand they
try to give us good reasons for not attending the events , but I for one
still cry foul because it killed my spirit to realize that once again
another opportunity in our quest to form a united apposition wasted. So in
fairness and in the interest of moving forward to more pressing issues, I
wish we can all refrain from blaming eachother while "the stooges of
denial" ,as Comrade Conteh would say, are having the last laughs. Dictator
Jemus, please let our people GO! ALD organizers, hang in there and continue
your relentless pursuit in building a better Gambia. It ain't E-Z guys.
                                                 Mr Makaveli.

PS: If you ask me who to blame, I'll easily point to none other than the
SOLE culprit, Jemus Yahya Jammeh who STILL continue to make us all confused
and miserable. If it wasn't for him, the need for forming a united
opposition would have never become an issue. Stop blaming eachother!!

Mr. Gomez:

Please allow me to thank you for your full explanation.
I have reached a stage of conclusion that this matter
should be laid to rest.  I concur with your sentiments
and vow to never again talk about the issue.

At times in the middle of things, people forget about
substance.  This does not necessarily mean that they
do not care.  I admire you and brother Latjor for
having the vision to hold such a symposium.

My arms are fully opened for an embrace and I wish I can
reach you from Carolina to the Nation's capital.  Please
get back to work and concentrate on issues vital to
your development.  The Gambia needs visionaries.

Our struggle to unseat the dictator of kaninlai cannot
be sidetracked.  The more we disagree, the quicker we
begin to realize that moron dictator of kaninlai is the
worst thing that has ever happened to The Gambia.
