I do believe signing an email under the name "Concerned Citizens" or "On
Behalf of Atlanta Chapter of APRC" or some other pseudo name is a deliberate
intimidation tactic by this particular organization.  Emails should be
signed by their writers. If an organization wants to take responsibility for
an email, then its proper designated representation should sign his name to
it.  This is not the Gambia.  We will not me intimidated.  I mean the
audacity of this organization to chastise people for being undiplomatic or
uncivil to wards Yahya Jammeh (And I mean do Yahya Jammeh - not Mr. Jammeh,
or Alhagie or Sir or president Jammeh. No, just plain Yahya Jammeh. Well,
may be Dumb Ass Jammeh), when in fact they represent an organization (the
APRC) whose leader takes particular pride in taking to the air waves in the
Gambian on a daily, threatening to bury people "six feet under" or dumping
on them torrents of insults.  What duty of civility do we owe this man? None
at all. And if HE does not like what I say, he has two free hands to go FUCK
himself.

Subject: Mr.Essa Sey (continuation)


Mr. Sey, We follow with interest your sudden change of heart vis-a-vis to
President Jammeh and his Administration and also, we are deeply concerned
with the extent of the negativity, arrogance and self-serving diatribes
addressed to his Excellency, your former boss. This is extremely puzzling to
us making one question your credibility and integrity, as one remembers
quite vividly your statements made in Taiwan, France and the US praising and
supporting President Jammeh and his policies in the most strongest terms.
You were very busy luring in investors stating that the Gambia under
President Jammeh provide the best climate to do business. We also heard what
you said in Texas as a guest to their House of Reps and also your
declaration in Annapolis, MD while on an official visit there. We saw you
defending President Jammeh’s policies online and on various avenues. Since
your recall, you shifted from praise to profanity. Going online spreading
all kinds of stuff trying to portray the President as the worst in the
world, prophesizing that something is going to happen on the Ides of April
and the bleak list goes on. Many people are struggling to understand why the
shift? Some think that it is selfishness, egotism and the fact that you lost
your job. Instead of explaining the reason(s) behind your recall, you went
on the rampage as a wounded animal lashing out at the President and at
anybody that supports him. We believe that is not fair. The President chose
you to represent the Gambia in various capacities and later in the process
of serving, something happened and you were recalled. The
million- dollar question is why were you fired? How ungrateful one can be to
someone who went too far this level with you? We are trying to understand
your wounds, feel your pain and your consequent reaction after the recall as
that is human nature but to go this low is beyond our comprehension. Essa,
you take great pride in your family roots, your bravery and steadfastness in
fighting the fight. DEM SA LAMBAJA DI YOBANTEH GALGAL. It would have made
more sense if you were on the ground, engaging the President on issues
rather than trying to show who you are or what you are capable of doing or
achieving If you have valid concerns or issues, please raise them in a
positive and more mature manner. For God’s Sake you were an ambassador, a
diplomat, a supposedly intelligent man. Going online saying what you are
saying is quite telling. Where is Dr. Sedat Jobe, Baboucarr Blaise Jagne,
Tombong Saidy, etc.? Is this the best image you got? Rather than the
bickering, the show of anger and frustration, you should ask yourself what
can you positively contribute to help alleviate the conditions of Gambians.
If foreigners are asking us what can they do to help Gambia, where is our
sense of responsibility? It is very sad that we spend valuable times
demonizing President Jammeh, dumping all kinds of dirt on him in the
internet, and taking pride in it. We go further trying to tarnish the image
of the Gambia in the name of hatred of President Jammeh. This is a
disservice to our country. Can anyone show us a web address where citizens
of other countries do business the way we do? President Jammeh is not as bad
as you want us to believe. He is a young Head of State who has done some
great positive things for his country and has a noble vision where he wants
to see the Gambia. It is people like you Mr. Sey whom he entrusted with
responsibilities that failed us as a nation. That is Intellectual dishonesty
at its best. We at the ATLANTAAPRC, realize that the President cannot do it
alone and have decided to join hands and rally behind him to achieve that
noble vision. We expect to be labeled all kinds of names after this posting,
because some people will never accept seeing others support him. But that is
okay. They tend to forget that the right they are claiming that allows them
to oppose him is the same we proclaim to support him. We need to train
ourselves to accept that there are people who embrace the President and that
does not make them any less patriotic. Essa Sey,  since the launching of
your crusade against President Jammeh, what have you achieved? Look at the
damning allegations brought by Alieu Sanyang! Did you hear Ebou Jallow very
well? Are you not on the defensive now? Don’t you think it is time to move
on?  We believe so. We are calling on you to let go off the bitter, the
character assassinations and the hearsay, bury the hatchets and start
building an atmosphere conducive to dialogue and moving forward. The Gambia
is ours all, so let us desist from selling the idea of the “ides of April”.
We all have our relatives there and we are on a foreign land. Mark this Mr.
Sey, nothing is going to happen in April only some good news. Join us in our
quest to move the Gambia forward in the most positive manner. If the
Israelis and the Palestinians after all that transpired, can come to the
table to prepare for their children’s future, what are we waiting for? Have
a nice day. CONCERNED CITIZENS.
