There you are Buharry.

[I am still where you left me when we had similar political  sympathies.] 
Buharry.
 
I think you are mistaken. I was trying to accrue PDOIS some  value. Just 
like I try to accrue UDP, NRP, PPP, and GMC value. I hope you  did not regard 
me as a member of PDOIS. Not in a million years.

[Remember the time Modou Mboge, Pa Samba, Buharry and others were  
labelled "programmed fanatics" for sharing a certain political view?]  
Buharry.
 
Yes. They are still drones. Not for sharing certain political views but for 
 being programmed fanatics.

[Well, I have not seen any reason to change views.] Buharry.
 
Very well Buharry. It doesn't hurt to reach out to you though does  it?
 
[If that day comes, it would not be manifested through sending material  
from GRTS] Buharry.
 
I would hope not.
 
[or taking pictures of actual infrastructural changes.] Buharry.
 
Actual Infrastructural changes? How about landscape changes Buharry. I told 
 you you need to be in the Gambia Tourism Development Board or something.  
What?
 
[Haruna, you know I would not be afraid to declare my support for and  
exercise my fundamental 
right through the support of any political party be  it APRC, UDP or any 
other.] Buharry.
 
It is that confidence in you that made me reach out to you.
 
[In fact, I would not even have to worry because I know you would help  
defend and protect my fundamental right to join or support any political party  
of my choosing not because of your position as the Executive Director of 
Global  Democracy Project but because of the true democrat you are.] Buharry.
 
Thank you men. Well how about choosing UDP, NRP, PPP, or GMC then? So much  
talent, so much value.
 
[Thanks and have a good day.] Buharry.
 
You're most welcome. I will check with you another time.
 
Haruna. Tiger just made an eagle. He's too far behind though. But we still  
got plenty of holes to go. I hope you're supporting Tiger. Or is GRTS 
carrying  the masters? Later men.

Men you're too good.  What??? I wish I can convert you to a believer in 
UDP. Just tell me you're  not APRC. Thank you men. Much  respect.


Haruna.

ubj: I bring you Ndokeh&#39;s  editorial on former President Sir 
Dawda 
awara.

n the occasion of  Kairaba's launching.
Just to add that Ndokeh's editorial deals with Hon.  Jawara the 
citizen. 
fter the coup relieved him of duties as President of  Gambia. Sir Dawda 
ecame our fellow citizen after Yahya became President.  Therefore what 
ir Dawda did after the coup d'etat is Sir Dawda's purview. We  may hope 
or sobriety in his decisions then but he is not accountable to  Gambian 
itizens for what he does in his private life. It is unconscionable  to 
ind Sir Dawda guilty for aversion against Gambia and Gambians in his  
rivate demarche.
Otherwise, I acknowledge Ndokeh's anxieties and chagrins  variously.
I will purchase 5 copies of the book Kairaba. As is traditional  with 
e, I will gift 4 of them and keep one for myself.
Allez people.  Haruna.
Gambia: Editorial: Kairaba Jawara Is On The Wrong Side Of History  
Editorial: Kairaba Jawara Is On The Wrong Side Of History 
Saturday April  10th would witnessed the launching of a book authored 
by 
eposed  President Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara?a former statesman who is on 
he wrong  side of history.  Kairaba Jawara departed from the much 
alked about  ?strong democratic ideals, tenets, and values?  he 
urtured in The  Gambia, and across the region, following his move to 
bandon his colleagues  in the struggle for the restoration of democracy 
n that impoverished West  African country for his own selfish 
nterest.  He returns home under the  disguised of so called amnesty?
nly to compromise all the principles he stood  for over the years. 
awara the ?born again? is trying to rewrite  history.  
hen President Jammeh initiated the idea of extending an  amnesty to 
ormer President Jawara, the average Gambia thought that this was  going 
o be an opportune  moment for Jawara to prevail on Mr. Jammeh to  
onsider including his former colleagues such as Bakary Bunja Darboe,  
aikou Sabally, Sara Jangha, Alkali James Gaye,  Kebba Jallow, and  
ther PPP exiles overseas on the list of those to be pardoned, but that  
as too much for Jawara.  Mr. Jawara was only concerned about his  
ersonal interest, and that of his immediate family. He accepted  Jammeh?
invitation to return home without bothering to consult his former  
olleagues. 
aving faced possible foreclosure in the UK, amidst financial  
ncertainty, Jawara was nearly evicted from his London Home. He could 
ot  pay for his mortgage. Jawara?s  house was later seized, and sold to  
rospective buyers.  
r. Jammeh was privy to the old man?s plight in  the UK, and decided to 
ntervene to save Jawara from being thrown out from  his repossessed 
ondon Home.  This was a commendable move on the side of  Jammeh to 
xtend a helping hand to a suffering former head of state.  
espite all the atrocities associated with Jammeh, we believe that he  
layed a pivotal role in ensuring that Jawara was not placed on welfare  
ousing program  in a former colony. 
awara has launched all kinds of  campaign in the past to disrupt the 
ctivities of the former junta headed by  Jammeh. He even asked for 
estern intervention, but his repeated appeals were  ignored. The West 
elieved that he Jawara overstayed, and was partly  responsible for 
ambia?s political dilemma.  
t is only in The Gambia  that a former exiled head of state would be 
llowed to return home without  being jailed. There was probable, or 
easonable cause to prosecute Jawara for  corruption, and abuse of 
ffice, because he was found liable by the Algali  Commission. But 
espite all these, Jammeh decided to allocate him a monthly  salary, 
ersonal guards, and a well furnished private residence in  Fajara.
e have high regards for Jawara, but it is our ardent belief that he  is 
n the wrong side of history. Mr. Jawara?s, attempts to rewrite history  
ill not save him from his betrayal schemes against his former 
olleagues,  peers, and admirers. You can?t  have it on both ways.  
awara has  betrayed all what he stood for over the years. His previous 
laims that he  would not dine with army mutineers is a fat lie. Jawara 
s today serving as  an adviser to President Jammeh.  He is part, and 
arcel of the Jammeh  administration. Don?t tell us about that so called 
olitical  retirement.  
r. Jawara?s book mainly focuses on his past speeches as a  First 
epublican President, and his political truce with the Jammeh  
dministration.  He owes special gratitude to Amadou Samba, Abdoulie  
ujabi, and President Jammeh for facilitating his safe return home.
r.  Jawara?s book is being advertised on Amazon.  We call on Gambians 
o  purchase the book for the sake of posterity. Our kids need to read 
bout this  old man.  African Heads of State need to read about this 
haracter  called Kairaba Jawara. Happy book launching to former 
resident Jawara.   History will judge you harshly Sir. We rest our 
ase!
