G-L,

All Musa has done is to give an analysis of the situation back home, base on
his interaction with a cross section of Gambians on the ground. He obviously
made his observations and, as an educated person,
arrived at his conclusion and judgment. His conclusion and or judgment may
not be agreeable to some
for various reasons. I have not seen anywhere in his posting that manifests
him being an APRC supporter .
Musa is telling us that the people on the ground, not only educated Gambians
but also ordinary Gambians, who are all aware of the governance and rule of
law issues that are not primary to them when compared to their economic
survival and I quote Musa

“Some will admit, and these are usually educated Gambians, that there are
obviously excesses in these areas, but the government of the day’s
commitment to development overshadows the Achilles’ heel of these
shortcomings. They will flatly tell you that Jammeh’s firing of these civil
servants are purely political and indefensible, but some of the more extreme
supporters will justify it by saying that most of these guys are saboteurs
who are hell bent in destroying what the man is trying to build”.

I don’t see the essence of jumping all over this guy with labels and name
calling when all he is doing is giving us an analysis of the situation as he
see it. The fact that he mentions some government achievement, as indicated
by people and observed by him, should not be a cause for labeling and
name-calling. As a matter of fact, Musa’s analysis
Is exactly what I gathered from home. What’s wrong is the intolerance of
differences and opinions especially when it concerns matters with the
government and President Jammeh.

Musa! “ana waa saloume”

Beran
