Hamadi,
Well said. You certainly shares lot of my insights. I am very surprised that
Jawara was at such a meeting. And to my dismay more, I heard that he was very
well praised at this same gathering by Omar Jallow, Hon Amat Bah and most of
those who talked. If this is true, I can understand why a party like PDOIS
was not there. Of course there must be more to their absence that just that.
I have been very skeptical and continue to be in this struggle to bring
democracy to our motherland when I hear people in the former regime
struggling for the same thing. I find myself bewildered asking the same
question all the time; Why now, and not 30 years ago?
Anyway, I guess I might be too ignorant to realize why. I only hope and pray
that we could bring a very positive change without calling for sanctions on
our own people. History tells us that it is the people who suffer and not the
leaders. Why not try to lay a simple foundation that will help us have a true
ballot process? In this case we as Gambians should be able to support anyone
who rightly and legally wins. be it Jammeh or any party. To accept and not to
politically support I meant.

Ousman Bojang.
