FOR FORMER HIGH COURT  JUDGE SAFIATOU NJIE? Haruiner/Suntou,
Haruine rI choose what to call  you, not you, get that.] Olfactor.
 
Quit running your words together. Why can't you invent your own name for  
me since you are your own man??? I guess you are now Mams' man.
 
[Since you chose to call folk anything  thatr visit you in your  
hallucination, why are you telling me not call you what i choose.  Get  pissed all you 
want, do i care i think not.] Olfactor.
 
So if I tell you to jump out of the Big Dinko, you will do it eh? Ok Jump  
out. To save your own life.
 
[And talking about my use of the English language, yes i admit i am not  
good at it but maybe first teach your entourage especially your side kick,  
Suntou Moofuring who moonlights as a columnist to learn his grammer  and 
sentence structuring before he spew anything from his orifice.]  Olfactor.
 
Sidekick is one word.
Mohfooring.
grammar.
Sentence structure.
spews.
out of orifice. Not from orifice. Orifice is pejorative when referring to  
a fellow citizen.
 
[The two sissies Haruiner and Suntou Moofurin, i don't who is who, so you  
fretting about me hating you.  What silliness? Oh i  see  it is 'about my 
delinquencies and inadequacies i guess.' Just  shitty piffle.] Olfactor.
 
You're not making sense here Olfactor. Haven't you forgotten a word or  two?

[I am giving you your own medicine.] Olfactor.
HarunaMos don't take medicine. That's what I got in a fight with my doctor  
about. I ended up convincing her not to take medicine herself. She thought  
I was crazy.
 
[You have been running your shitty mouths at anyone here who  differs from 
your the fetid opinions you keep spewing as some  learned analysis.] 
Olfactor.
 
I only demand that you use correct English when you speak with me Olfactor. 
 Is that too much to ask?? What is "from your the fetid opinions"?

[Haruiner, your  misogynism is apparent, so what  if i  were a woman.] 
Olfactor.
 
So what if you are a woman? Acknowledging that is the first step.
 
[Are women less than men?] Olfactor.
 
NO. For the simple fact that she is called Woman means she is more than a  
man. Whaddoyou think Olfactor?
 
[amI happy to be called a woman or even in between.]  Olfactor.
 
So are you a woman or somewhere in between a man and a woman?
  
[Suntou Moofuring, so you are with times because you read  stuff from the 
net. I know you've no idea to differentiate things but i tell you  this 
people have choices.] Olfactor.
 
Yes. People have a choice to kill themselves too. Folk like you should not  
be given free health care Olfactor.
 
[Most people still enjoy reading from books, magazines, periodicals etc the 
 traditional way.] Olfactor.
 
Yeah but what is your reason for being one of those people? That is  the 
question Olfactor. Is it Nirvana?
 
[Get that Mr Fool pretender BUDDING political analyst.] Olfactor.
 
This is uncalled for Olfactor. Why do you work yourself up just to hate?  
What do you intend to accomplish by being rude just because you have always 
been  rude but have suppressed it against your good health?

[Well, Haruiner if your side kick is nice with me, what is stopping you  
from being nasty with me.] Olfactor.
Nothing that I can see. I just choose to be nice to you Olfactor. People  
have choices you know.
 
[As i said to you before, i do not seek, crave or need  your  friendship, 
encouragement, cheer or love. Take them where they are needed  or asked for.  
I do not need or seek anyones anywhere  else approval here or anyone to be 
me.  And that goes to 
friends  or family.] Olfactor.
 
I am the purveyor of friendship, encouragement, cheer, or love just like  
you are the purveyor of names. You know what that means don't you Olfactor? 
What  have your friends and family done to you Olfactor? I know deep down you 
love me  Olfactor. You just don't know it yet. I intend to yield you 
revelations like  you've never had them before. Do you dream Olfactor?

[And why can't you  guys stop lying about anyone trying to dictate to the 
flea infested brain of  Suntou Mama what to do with his political affiliation 
with the UDP.]  Olfactor.
 
Not anyone. Someone.
flea-infested.
Suntoumana.
 
[I only refer to the UDP because since he thinks people like me have been  
domicile in the West for years without going home, i just thought  since he 
so politically savvy and with many qualifications as well as being  endowed 
with seeing things no ordinary 
folk sees, just perhaps the UDP will  be better served on the ground.] 
Olfactor.
 
What does being in the west for years without going home have to do with  
UDP. You recall Suntou lives in the west too. The UDP is domiciled in  Gambia.
 
[Moreover with his project of exposing Halifa Sallah and PDOIS why are you  
Sountou Moofuring wasting in the West Midlands.] Olfactor.
 
Aha. Halifa. BuDOIS Sek. 

[Bring it on!  Call your back  ups. I see you are throwing around names. 
You have not seen anything  yet from this unwell and tormented soul.] Olfactor.
 
I have not seen a hoomang bing get so excited over nothing as you Olfactor. 
 Are you well??? Bring what on? I think we need to expel you from  here.

Haruna, your sense of  humour has lighten up this place. I could not 
stop laughing aloud. It  is good for our soul. I will be requesting old 
copies of the economist  magazine from the gentleman, I will cancel my 
own  subscription.
Haruna, in this day and age, when both academic materials and  proper 
journals can be securely access online, when books are now in  portable 
computerise (digital form), i wonder why the gentleman is keen  to let 
us know that he receives the hard copy of the economist? I wonder.  Talk 
about refusing to march ahead with time.
Good news for the Gunners:  JAY-Z want to invest in the club, Spike Lee 
is our big fan as  well.

Haruna, I also commend your analysis of the actual case in  question, 
Justice Njie. As you opined, they knew full well Yahya will never  allow 
them to do their jobs independently, yet they agree to take the  
positions, hence she should face the music.
The accusations are that of  financial misappropriate. I also learnt 
that, the Nigerians has taken over  our legal profession, thanks to the 
sack Justice Secretary.
The  gentleman's anger is as a result months of disheartening comments 
he  couldn't bear coming from my end. He has already made up his mind to 
insult  me, emptying his heart's delight on me. I am happy that, he is 
relieve of  his burden.
Why get inflamed over Rwanda whilst our stakes are the  Gambia. And why 
be bothered about what I do with my party of choice? It is  fascinating.
It is reported that, Kegame's own government has in it genocidal  
maniacs who still boast about their Tutsiness, let him clean up those  
sick folks before branding others 'divisionist'. Room for  improvement.
The gentleman's quest to get personal is understandable. if it  helps 
him have a good enough sleep, it is fine by me. Say all you like  
against Suntou, i am sure your friends will tap your shoulder for it, 
as  for me, i will enjoy my green tea and think of another subject. My 
old  advise is that, stop being rude, calm down and remember that, 
people will be  disappointed in you for using foul  language.

moonlighting as the political analyst  changed a strictly legal

Thank you for your common sense. The  problem with some of these folk is 
that they participated in the wrecking of  Africa before they fled 
jungle justice or they had buyer's remorse once they  settled in their

inadequacies on the west. I say they brush their teeth  before they 
speak to me about Africa or Africans. How you change a  conversation 
about law and jurisprudence to a defense of kagame is beyond  me. 
kagame's person or character was not in question......however you feel

Thank you  again for your marked sobrieties  Suntou.

The  gentle man who wishes to make some us look like uncaring Africans, 
hence not  qualify in advocating anything African should take a good at 
himself and his  place of domicile. Many a times we read and hear our 
Pan-Africanist brothers  resident in Europe and America for decades 
lecturing us about Euro-American  this and that on Africans.. How 
self-serving these brothers  are.

If you wish to take the moral high ground on Africa, then do  the decent 
thing and parachute to the West, East, South or Central Africa,  then 
try screaming from the rooftop there, hopefully people will pay  
attention to the nonsensical out pouring of cheap emotion. Some of this  
So call Pan-Africanist hardly ever venture into Africa, yet they feel  
singing Pan-Africa enough in making words relevant, give us a break.
The  economist Magazine has nothing to lose or gain in the articles some 
of its  commentators write about Africa. Can we for once see things in 
their right  context instead fancying around hanging onto our own 
baggage of partisan  politics. If anyone is educated in the west, you 
must without a question  read books, be lectured by western professors 
and enjoy the western way of  live. What moral ground do you have to see 
others as less of an African than  you are? Below is the Economist 
Magazine's article on Kegame and Rwanda. In  fact the article 
acknowledge the level of financial discipline the  government of Kegame 
is instituting, yet the other facts cannot be left  unspoken about 
because one is doing something’s right and other major  wrongs. We 
should delineate cheap emotion from serious  issues

Progress  and repression in Rwanda
Divisionists beware
President Paul Kagame has  improved people’s lives at the expense of 
freedom
Mar 4th 2010 | NAIROBI  | From The Economist print edition
Kagame, progressive and repressive
THE  government of Rwanda is doing a lot of things right. It is pretty 
open in  its handling of aid money. Most foreign governments and 
charities are so  impressed by its detailed plans and apparent lack of 
corruption that they  are funnelling more of their aid directly through 
Rwanda’s government.  President Paul Kagame says he expects direct 
budget support to rise by a  quarter this year, to $519m.
The country has recovered valiantly from its  year zero in 1994, when 
800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered.  Its centralised 
state is leading the way in economic and technological  reform in the 
region. It is improving the country’s infrastructure,  education and 
farming, and seeks to preserve its ecology. It pushes equality  for 
women, who comprise half the government and parliament.
On the  diplomatic front, Mr Kagame has been equally successful. He has 
sent troops  to help keep the peace in Sudan’s Darfur province and 
elsewhere. He has  stood up to mighty France, blaming it, as the 
region’s then most influential  Western power, for failing to prevent 
the genocide. And last month the  French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, 
came to Rwanda and offered something  close to an apology. France, he 
said, had committed “grave errors of  judgment” before, during, and 
after the genocide. Questions linger about the  role of French special 
forces during the killing, as well as the fate of  Hutus living in 
France whom Rwanda wants extradited on suspicion of  involvement in the 
genocide.
France, for its part, has not dropped  charges against some members of 
Mr Kagame’s government who are alleged to  have ordered the shooting 
down of a French aircraft carrying Rwanda’s then  president, Juvénal 
Habyarimana, a Hutu; that action triggered the genocide.  Yet both 
countries now appear more at ease with each other. Days after Mr  
Sarkozy’s visit, Mr Habyarimana’s widow, Agathe, was arrested near 
Paris  (and then freed on bail) for questioning over her alleged role in 
the  genocide. French businessmen came in Mr Sarkozy’s slipstream, 
eyeing  minerals and timber in neighbouring Congo, for which Rwanda is a 
conduit.  “There is no doubt this is a reconciliation,” says a Rwandan 
government  figure.
Yet awkward question-marks hang over Mr Kagame and his ruling Rwandan  
Patriotic Front. The president’s detractors say his party has not owned  
up to killing thousands of civilians immediately after the genocide or  
to responsibility for causing much bloodshed in Congo, which it invaded  
in order to hunt down the génocidaires who had fled there. The 
Congolese  government, it may be noted, has co-operated with the 
Rwandans in their more  recent incursions into Congo.
Mr Kagame and his government are stifling  political and press freedom 
in advance of a presidential election due in  August. He is almost 
certain to win but evidently he is determined to secure  a big majority 
to implement his “one Rwanda” policies. Opposition parties  have been 
forbidden to “use words or facts that defame other politicians”.  In 
practice, the government can label any criticism against it as  
“divisionism”, which entitles it to lock up the offenders. Members of  
the opposition say they are spied on and bullied.
It is unclear whether  the government will let the Democratic Green 
Party, a feisty new opposition  group, be registered. If not, the Greens 
say they will back another lot, the  Socialist Party-Imberakuri, which 
should be able to run a presidential  candidate. The head of a third 
opposition party, the United Democratic  Forces-Inkingi, Victoire 
Ingabire, says she has been vilified since  returning from exile in 
January. The government, she says, has encouraged  people to assault 
her, accusing her of being a génocidaire. This week a  former military 
intelligence chief, Kayumba Nyamwasa, who was reported to  have joined 
the Greens, fled Rwanda and is said to be claiming asylum in  South 
Africa. The government says he is wanted on criminal  charges—presumably 
divisionism.
End.
Going back to our own dictators  corridors, What is it that his 
supporter are fuming against us about? They  are saying, the man is a 
dictator of development and that he is fighting  against corruption. He 
has given women more power and rights. His  Vice-President is a woman. 
At some point in his government, there were  more women in his 
government as Ministers than the previous administration.  All that the 
gentleman is promoting Kegame for, Yahya Jammeh was once hail  with 
those same things.
Should there be any reason for the cubing of  civil rights and plurality 
of views?
Is Kegame himself innocent of  pumping tribal issues in politics? In 
fact, Kegame's men in the army  including the high ranking female 
officer play the card more than many  others. Check their own Google 
images Mr Gentleman. I have seen images of  the Rwandan army's latest 
incursion of Congo, the close senior officers  bragging about their 
prejudicial influences. These things aren’t as simple  as the gentleman 
is making it out to be.
Nothing should compromise  tolerant co-existence, and the opposition 
views is a key part to ensuring  the population is represented at all 
levels. Kegame's propaganda alone  shouldn't be listened to at the 
expense of others. He should be commended  for lots of things, but he 
also needs to understand that framing words  against his opponent is not 
healthy for the future stability of the country.  Some of us are less of 
a Pan-African, however, we know the working of a  genuine democracy. 
Advocates of Europeanism live in Europe. let our  Pan-African folks 
migrate to Africa, instead of crying wolf in western towns  and cities.
Let not your bias of folks make you blind to their views. Stop  been 
haste over public issues. Take a deep breath and read the material  
before jumping to conclusion.
LJ, thanks for your sober and intelligent  analysis always. Long may we 
have many non-partisan like you. Speaking the  facts regardless of who 
it come from. Saddly, folks here seems to look at  names, party 
afilliation, some ignoble little gangs before saying anything&   
tangible.      You have  shown to be above such petty  mantra.

You are absolutely right that "Four men  accused of taking part in the 
1994 Rwandan genocide win their High Court  battle against 
extradition" was "strictly premised on the  significance of the Legal 
precedence it sets for 'fugitives' claiming to  be escaping 
persecution". Specifically, I was thinking about Justice  Safiatou Njie 
(Justice Njie) and whether The Gambia Government is likely to  succeed 
in having her extradited by the UK.  

Although her  alleged crimes are not political, the whole mechanism of 
Gambian justice is  heavily entangled in political calculations. She is 
not likely to get a fair  trial, and as a requirement of Article 6 of 
the European Convention of Human  Rights (ECHR), now statutorily 
incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights  Act 1998 (HRA 1998), her 
chance of eluding extradition is looking  good.

Even as the Rwandan decision is a brilliant  exemplification of the rule 
of law, I have to agree with you that the High  Court decision was a 
difficult one on moral grounds. I am unsure why Rwanda  did not seek 
their extradition for onward delivery to the International  Criminal 
Tribunal Rwanda (ICTR), based in the Tanzanian city of  Arusha.

For Rwanda, it should not matter where these alleged  criminals are 
prosecuted. The evidence is suggestive of some  involvement by all four 
in the '94 genocide. In that case, common  sense would dictate that they 
be prosecuted for their alleged crimes, and  where found legally 
culpable, adequately punished.

Undoubtedly,  the political arm of government was keen to have them 
extradited, but the  Judiciary blocked that wish on the explicit command 
of both European, and UK  law.
Stated differently, the High Court probably hated the outcome, but  
there was a clear obligation to implement the law as it is. You are  
right that under other circumstances, these laws can work quite well 
for  "genuine asylum seekers". This particular decision was nevertheless 
quite  agonising.

As to Kagame, I defer to your expertise on the man, and  his vision. 
What he must do, and this sooner than he may prefer, is to  create an 
environment that allows his vision to incrementally mature  even as he 
himself no longer leads Rwanda. No one person can fully  develop a 
country,  and in my view, this means that every African  leader, and, 
or, ruler, must come to terms with his/her own mortality.  Only then 
will a mighty continent actualise its great potential by making  use of 
the major part of the talent at its disposal.

Many  thanks for a fine response, and advocacy.

Do you think the Gambia's  extradition request regarding Justice Njie 
should  succeed?

Regards

LJD,

I guess your  sharing the judgement on the Rwandans by the High Court of 
the UK was  strictly premised on the significance of the Legal 
precedence it sets  for 'fugitives' claiming to be escaping 
persecution. I hope  it is not presumptuous of me that you had in mind 
the Gambian female  judicial employee currently in the UK apparently 
running away  from Gambian justice a la Jammeh when you  
shared the ruling.   I assume that it is no rocket  science that this 
ruling will provide protection for the corrupt  criminals, genocidaires 
and their apologists from being brought to justice  where it matters ie 
where their alleged crimes were  committed.

It seems the so-called High Court Judges are more  concerned with the 
human rights of  vile genocidaires than those  genuine asylum seekers 
whose fear of being killed and tortured in their  homeland is 
consistently ignored and questioned  and in some instances  ridiculed by 
Western media pandering to the right-wing politics of  the "other" 
coming to take our jobs and scrounging on our generous welfare  
systems.  Im no lawyer but i hope this ruling also can be  useful to 
genuine asylum seekers.


Reading a response  to the article you shared by our 
"descerner extraordinaire on this  forum" comparing our criminal outfit 
headed by a deranged buffoon in the  person of SHEPAD Jammeh gave 
me zits as well as being  squirmish for a while.

The realities of Gambia and Rwanda are  markedly different.   Kagame and 
Jammeh are poles apart.   Kagame is a smart and  patriotic leader, a 
visionary engaged  in healing a traumatized people, one fighting a good 
fight in ushering in  a new nation based on functioning 
institutions. The howling  on this divisionism by the Economist is in my 
view an  irrelevant unworthy distraction. Kagame should take no advise 
or  lecturing from a rabidly anti-African magazine that once ran a 
feature  cover story by Richard Dowden on Africa: The Hopeless  
Continent.  It may be true that many an African country is marred by  
hunger, conflict and strife yet i have no doubt that if anything the  
African peoples are mostly hopeful and optimistic  about the  future.  
This may be sometimes wrongly attributed to  fatalism.

Of course there still remains a lot to be done  in terms of democracy 
and human rights in Rwanda but one must  acknowledge the giant strides 
already achieved in relation to  these ideals.  It is work in 
progress that is being  managed very well under extremely difficult 
circumstances.  Rwanda  under Kagame boast one of the most enlightened 
gender equality  legislatures in the world.  And this goes beyond just 
symbolic  balancing of the sexes in terms of representation (given that 
33% of  the Rwandan Parliament is female)  in politics. Women  compete 
and participate in all sectors of Rwanda society.  There  is evidence of 
substantive and particapatory democracy in everyday life of  the 
ordinary Rwandan. The economy in Rwanda is booming, civil society  is 
being built and their advocacy left, right and centre permeates in  and 
at all levels of society. Under Kagame's Rwanda a state by all  
standards that failed, has emerged way ahead of many African  
countries in terms of health care access to its denizens.  There  is 
national health insurance for virtually all Rwandans.  With Rwanda  now 
on the right path to development and substantive participatory  
democracy i join the hoard of admirers wishing the Kagame juggernaut to  
keep steaming ahead.  I do also hope that the juggernaut also destroys  
and annihilate all the negative forces trying to block  it especially 
those coated in ethnicity.  Ethnicity is important  but not to the 
detriment of building a prosperous Rwandan nation that  concerns herself 
with providing peace, prosperity and progress  to  its people.

There exists a genuine concern by those trying to deny  the horrid 
genocide that took place in 1994. Politicians such as  Victoire Ingabire 
Umuhoza trying to play on ethnic sentiments must be  reigned in.  This 
does not mean that people should be denied the  right to associate 
with the ethnic skirt they want to wear as long  as it is not to villify 
or create schisms between and  among their brethren and sisters.  
Afterall the Tutsi and Hutu are  from the same family of Bantu-speaking 
peoples.  But if not  for a sad historical constructionism perpetrated 
by colonialists based  on banal concepts such as 
the Hamitic Hypothesis ,  the Tutsi-Hutu dichotomous relationship might 
have been avoided.  I  shall not suffer the esteem lot of this forum on 
the nitty-gritty of  this racist hypothesis which helped in the pogroms 
of the Tutusis in  1959 and the genocide of 1994.


We have  seen the shenanigans of France and some other northern 
governments  trying to stifle the progress and development of Rwanda 
since the RPF  came into power.  I will have Kagame any day as my leader 
compared  to the rogues we have splattered across our wounded continent  
irresponsibly abusing the noble ideals of democracy and human  rights. 

Best,

Mboge

LJ, reading the economies Magazine edition of last week,  i can see 
similar tactics in the arena of suppression of opposition views in  
Rwanda to that our own mad man. Kegame's government invented a 
dangerous  term 'divisionist'. This term is label against opponents of 
the government  with the country's sad past. The genocidal past was 
trigger by tribal  sentiment, hence the divisionist concept.
It is interesting how our guys  invent this sinister strategies to 
suppress alternative views. Key members  of the opposition are regularly 
accused of being guilty of genocide, a tack  one is unable to free 
himself from.
