Hasanatou,
I plead with you to take a deep breath and relax. Parading insults on the
List to Sarjo Jallow and my dear sister Jainaba will not be the distractions
of what is going on the ground politically. The failure of the so-called
alliance is becoming a reality, and this is not going be taken lightly here.
We have all seen all those words directed to some of these government civil
servants by people who we know served under the most corrupt regime in our
history. We have witnessed the hold-my-hand friendship between some of these
people coming in disarray as Kebba Jallow surfaced.
On the fact that we as Gambians cannot take politics for what it is, POLITIK,
we have witnessed the most unuttered words by some individuals here to even
insult very honorable Gambians like Mr. Chrarles Jow. Sorry to bring his name
again, Yus. We have seen writings posted as sources just to castigate some of
these people serving under the APRC. With all these, Gambians wonder why
Gambia cannot prosper. Our problem is not who is ruling. It is ourselves. We
kind of find more comfort when we insult and curse one another. We have been
the most uncompromising people as a nation and this is what transpires even
when we live abroad. We are all involved in our personal gains that trashing
somebody else becomes nothing to us. Gambians are the most friendly people to
others, so why we cannot all agree to disagree without the chest pounding is
unexplainable.
On the List, it is okay to insult any government official, but it is taboo to
say anything about any anti-Jammeh. I have recently read a posting saying
that Gambians cannot come together at time of crisis as if we are. They tend
to forget that some of us have been under what they call crisis for 30 years.
if they mean that we all need to back who ever the leader is at that time and
give them our support, why should we exclude those who are serving now? I am
sure the PPP militants in here have the answers.
Sister, until we able to accept that no matter what difference we have in
opinion, we are all Gambians first, then our future is deem. The chest
pounding and seeking for recognition on the Gambia-L will not lead us as
nation to any good future.
This is my take. So I am advising you to keep calm. You cannot force sense in
to some people here.


Ousman Jallow Bojang.
