You need reading the interview of the man who control and manipulate his words more than any other before launching at others. read him again and see if he is intending for unity or cooperation.
There is no need for nice words when all is hench on deception and in as much as others can be made to look bad, the end game is, Halifa is not intending to let go his stance which will always maintain the gridlock. i don't expect you to see that now by the way.

Within the week in the Gambian political scene in which the unlearned Sheikh Professor Dr President Tyrant of the Gambia had grossly abused the position of his Office by attempting to incite tribal discord in the Gambia with his irresponsible and malicious castigation of Mandingos, the usual on-line PDOIS loathers had no better response other than to resort to their same old tried and tested but failed disinformation campaign of accusing admirers of Halifa Sallah as regarding him as their God. Also In the same week during which the blood-thirsty rogue that we have as President in our country is yet still craving to spill more blood of innocent Gambians and comparing Gambian journalists to rat feaces, some supporters of our country’s main opposition faction consider it more worth their time to re-engage others in the same useless arguments about the credibility of Halifa Sallah and the insignificant number of votes that PDOIS had been able to
 attract as a political party over the years. For this group of people, Suntou, Haruna et al, their interpretation of political credibility is primarily determined about the number of votes that could be attracted by a candidate or political party. If such a misplaced rationale is anything to go by then the APRC ought to be the most credible political party in the Gambia since 1994. No! that is not so and indeed it cannot be so. This same PDOIS loathers would argue that the APRC wins because of electoral fraud but PDOIS does not win because of their lack of credibility. I can’t count the number of times that I felt obliged to get involved in such ultimately counter-productive and divisive discourse within the ranks of Gambia ’s on-line opposition supporters. Personally I am now exhausted by it. I feel that there are far more important matters towards which we should be expending our precious time, energy and resources rather than responding
 to the Halifa-haters or someone who regards Ousainou Darboe as a coward. It is a fact that neither Halifa Sallah nor Ousainou Darboe and neither UDP/NRP nor PDOIS are the architects or causes of the current tyranny prevailing in our beloved country. On the contrary, Yahya Jammeh is the problem. We should focus on overcoming the problem instead of wearing ourselves out by engaging in futile efforts trying to discredit honorable Gambians like Halifa or Ousainou or Hamat. PDOIS could easily have been the most dominant political party in the country had the Party's leadership embraced the dominant culture of political patronage in the country. However the demise of such a system is why PDOIS is in existence. 

 
We must as a matter of priority resist the tyrant’s attempts to introduce ethnicity to the center stage of politics in our country. We must not allow him to further divide and rule us with his disgraceful tactics of tribal politics. We are all Mandingos, Wollofs, Serreres, Fulas, Jolas, Karoninkas, Akus, Manjagos, Sarahules, and most importantly we are all Gambians first. It ought to be apparent to most Gambians by now that no single ethnic group owns the Gambia or is mainly responsible for our current national political dispensation. The Gambia belongs to all present and future Gambians of whatever religion, ethnicity, race, creed, colour or IQ. We could either succeed or fail together. 
 
I am therefore urging us all to expend our concerted synergies and influences towards rebuilding bridges between the two main opposition factions and leadership with a view to achieving a united opposition to contest in 2011 Presidential election against the nationally and internationally discredited incumbent.
