Halipha Sallah warns Modou Nyang - maafanta.com (via @Fatou Jaw Manneh)

Re: PDOIS must not have missed Raleigh 

Dear Modou Nyang,

After reading the brilliant interviews conducted by Maafanta, the 
Central Committee of PDOIS has resolved to issue a statement of the 
Raleigh Conference which we still consider to be a brilliant initiative 
even though people like you have misconceived the direction it should 
have taken. This was a conference aimed at bringing people together and 
not to knock heads against each other. It was a conference for the 
humble and purposeful and not for the conceited and self-righteous. 

It was a conference to search together for answers and not to direct 
angry invectives against each other. It should have been a unifying 
conference not a divisive one. It is unfortunate that you have used the 
language you did to interrogate what Mr Ousianou Darbo said. We would 
not use such a language against a person who has not given us any cause 
to do so. You as a Gambian citizen are entitled to the way you view 
things and make use of the English language. Prudence dictates that you 
weigh your words before putting them down. What are you really trying to
 gain for making the remark you made in the public space? How will this 
enhance the integrity of what you stand for or the cause of the Gambian 
people?

What you have succeeded in doing is not the defence of 
principles but the pitting of PDOIS against everyone in opposition. I do
 not know how such a positioning of PDOIS on the political landscape of 
the Gambia could ever earn it the confidence of any one. What the 
Gambian people need at this stage is not endless bickering or the 
depicting of the opposition as a force in disarray. What the Gambian 
people need is a message of hope and solidarity to promote their 
liberation.
The opposition leadership on the ground has been showing
 tremendous respect for each other since the Presidential elections. 
This is reflected at the grassroots level. The Diaspora should be 
reinforcing this instead of putting iodine on healed wounds.

We
 hope you will take your time and read the statement issued by the 
Central Committee which you would be able to interrogate in your own 
Committee meetings abroad and at any Congress. Internal party Democracy 
is the way forward for the future. Clarity however is indispensable if 
it is to breed a consensus based on truth, good faith and the National 
interest.

Halifa Sallah
 
Leadership is understanding people and involving them to help you do a job. That takes all the good characteristics, like integrity, dedication of people, selflessness, knowledge, skill, implacability, as well as determination not to accept failure.  (Admiral Arleigh A. Burke).

Modou Nyang's commentary is lucid, I hope the Central Commitee in Banjul listen. Gambians are bored of the same rigmarole...I hope Halifa goes easy on Modou Nyang..he is not an enemy.
