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.
