Desperate,  yes.  Folly,  no.  Foroyaa  ought  to  realize  that  the
situation  in  the  Gambia  is  serious.  When  the  government  sanctions
the  killing  of  innocent  children,  abducts  people  and  incacerate
them  incommunicado,  run  kangaroo  courts,  hire  and  fire  without
reason, plunges  the  economy  into  abysmal  stages,  ban  people  from
taking  part  in  politics  and  continue  to  lie  to  our  poor
farmers,  What  else  do  we  want
 the  APRC  to  do  before  we  start
seeing  them  for  what  they  really  are.  Foroyaa,  the  Gambian
situation  is  desperate  and  desperate  situations  call  for  desperate
measures.

When  shall  you  realize  that  you  are  dealing  with  "people"  who
have  no  sense  of  direction,  who  remoreselessly  presided  over  the
relentless  and  wanton  carnage  of  our  populace.  Please  lets  not
downplay  the  London  briefing  because  it  is  "Desperate".We  are
desperate.

The  meeting  was  not  folly  either,  in  that,  it  showcases  our
plight  as  citizens  who  have  very  limited  options  where  the  APRC
is  concerned.  Being  civil  is  not   bearing  any  fruits  in  dealing
with  APRC  for  they  know not what  civility  is.  WE  should  highlight
our  plight  to  anyone  whom  we  know  can  help  us  restore  sanity
back  to  our  homeland.  If  the  British  MPs
  are  willing  to  listen,
it  does  not  matter  who  tells  them  as  far  as  they  represent  the
suffering  masses  in  the  Gambia.

Foroyaa  wrote" all  decent  Gambians  should  ensure  concerted  efforts
to  see  that  justice is  done or  have  the  regime  exposed  and
isolated" I  think  that  was  the  whole  purpose  of  the  London
briefing.
