JDAM, I have read and understood your anxieties about Jawara and our friend
Chongan. Might I suggest that because you admit diffused gore and
graffignette during the Jawara and PPP government, and that you admit the
inevitability of a forced overthrow at the time, acts of gallantry from within that
same graffignette must be commended on their particular merits. I
understand that you query the sanctity of resistance and the discrete legality of a
forced overthrow of an elected government. I merely encourage you to
consider that in states of diffused indifference, gallantry would be a rare
attribute, particularly coming from one of the actors of a "status quo ante".
You will agree that the national conversation that accrued extant
decrepitude is as intractable as the diffuse number of culprits thereto. It is out
of a vortex of decrepitude and general malaise that National heroes emerge.
No matter their color. If I agree with you on the repulsive nature of the
diffuse (your charactrerization) decrepitude of the Jawara government, will
you consider encouraging singular acts of gallantry, no matter how benign?
Please refer to the Jasmine Revolution. I do remind you that apparent
over-running of CHongan and his men on July 22nd, 1994, need not have meant the
total success of the violent overthrow of the Jawara government. I
understand that you are not suggesting that a forceful overthrow of elected
decrepitude is malignant in itself. We can save that for another conversation.
Another time.
I respect your opinion on Jawara and Chongan. I do suggest that it is
malignantly inflexible. I will attempt to reason with you. Off-maelstrom.
Haruna. I hope you haven't succeeded in melting Karim. On Joe Joe, I agree
with you, the man is made of resistant stock. Do not therefore mistake
wanton resistance for integrity of character. I think that is your extant beef
with Chongan. Yes you need to say more about Giuseppe. May God bless you.
Its good to hear you again nonetheless. I think I know how to bring you back
here when GIuseppe kidnaps you again.

Please see my response to Karim and lemme know if you require an expended
version of my views
As to Joe Sambou, and despite never meeting him, the man is high grade
character and integrity through and through. Need I say more?

JDAM, I want you and Chongan to call each other and hash things out. My
affinity for Jawara's era has nothing to do with Chongan. Like Jawara,
Chongan is a National hero to some Gambians. I admit he cannot be a National hero
to every Gambian because we each have our perspectives of his term at the
security department and what he may have done to fend off Yahya's uncouth
band of idiots.
I'll tell you what, If enTreaty between you and Chongan includes the
revision of certain statements and perceptions from Chongan's book, I will lobby
for a revised edition. Where have you been anyway? Joe Joe and I have been
missing you here. I will call you to see if I can discern your anxieties
about Chongan and see how I can ventilate those with Chongan. I think my
work for 2011 is to have JDAM and Chongan reunite.
I admit Jawara and Chongan had some debilitating deficiencies but all
National heroes have deficiencies. National heroes generally are best known for
their gallantries variously, not their deficiencies. If we assume that all
citizens of Gambia have deficiencies variously, then we begin to
appreciate those who seek to break from the deficient pack to demonstrate glimpses
of gallantry. It is by celebrating relative gallantries that we elevate the
consciences of a critical mass.
Haruna. I am not holding brief for Jawara and or Chongan JDAM. Infact I
don't know either very well. I am only conveying the view of some of our
fellow citizens. If you and Joe Joe can be bosom bodies, I see no reason why
You and Chongan couldn't be twin National heroes and the best of coleagues.
Here are two great people who can't stand each other. Surely there must be a
misunderstanding somewhere.

"National hero"?
How did you arrive at such utter rubbish?
Drop your love for the failed administration of Dawda Jawara and his
flunkies.
