Haruna,

Thanks  for  that  statement.  Actions  speak  louder  than  words- so
goes  the  old  adage.  I  would  have  taken  Jammeh  seriously  if  he
had  followed  up  his  words  with  actions  like  releasing  Dumo  and
others  and  prosecute  those  who  murdered  our  school  children.  In
my  view,  extending  an  amnesty  to  Jawara  is  just  a  political
ploy  to  score  a  bulls  eye.

I  hope  Bully  Dibba  is  paying  attention  to  the  actions  of
Sheriff  Dibba  who  has  joined  the  APRC.  When  I  chastised  Sheriff
for  his  selfish  actions,  Bully  Dibba  cautioned  me  to  wait  and
see  in  the  hopes  that  Sheriff  will  not  join  the  APRC.  Well,
the  waiting  is  over  and  no  amount  of  telling  me  how  "noble"
or  "unselfish"  Sheriff  is  can  convince  me.  The  man  is  a
sycophant  as  evidenced  by  his  actions.

Some  of  us  have  a  problem  of  accepting  the  truth  especially
when  it  concerns  someone  we  are  related  to.  I  have  seen  on
numerous  occasions  folks  like  Bulli  Dibba  lurking  in  the
corridors  of  the  Gambia  L  waiting  to  prance  on  anyone  that  says
anything  to  someone  they  are  related  to.  If  you  do  not  want  us
speaking  about  your  relatives,  tell  them  to  bow  out  of  the
Gambian  public  life.  Taking  up  for  them  and  going  all  emotional
will  not  stop  us.  If  public  figures  make public  statements,  the
public  have  all  rights  to  react  how  they  deem  fit.
