JDAM,
 
The quote here was BOTH in jest and a SERIOUS attempt to share that we the  
citizens of Gambia have a myriad options in harnessing our values and train 
 those values on our desires. The jest part allows the partisans to focus 
on  their partners in coalition-building proper if they are indeed interested 
in  that.
 
In the coming days, I will be seeking the partnership of folk just like you 
 and our coleagues here to develop those other options. I seek your 
guidance,  counsel, and company in advance.
 
Haruna.

Suntou,
 
I take your counsel into advisement. Pa Samba is a dear friend.  He and I 
will come to understandings. It takes a little nudging and  explanation for 
him but it shall come to pass. I am not a novice at  conflict resolution.
 
Here is what I advise of you though.
 
Today, today. If Halifa for some reason went into a trans and  declared - 
Let us have a total opposition union and let UDP/NRP lead  it, wIll you and 
UDP/NRP waste your times to join  
PDOIS??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 
This is the question I want you and UDP/NRP and even GMC to  ponder. After 
you do, you will throw away Agenda-2011 and focus on  building your parties 
and alliances. As I can see, both UDP/NRP and  GMC have shortcomings in 
party administration that leave a lot to be  desired. Simple tasks take days or 
months to complete if at all. When  your leader is busy defending Femi 
Peters, the party's entire  activities stop. WHY???? If Ousainou is not free, the 
party's  executive committee need to ensure the continued functioning of 
the  party. WHY is that? Some due-diligence does not require money.  
Organising and visiting with your supporters regularly as far away as  Koina and 
Jimara and cultivating new supporters should be done all the  time, Ousainou or 
no Ousainou. NADD/PDOIS has the same problem or  worse. But the time you 
partisans spend on chatter could be better  used developing your parties. The 
way I see it, none of the parties is  capable of governing Gambia in this 
state. And if you should dream  about forming a singular union, you will have 
multiplied the  inefficiencies ten-fold.
 
So focus your time and energies on value - building and  strangthening your 
parties. We are not interested in a United  Opposition any more. At least 
we will not depend on that idea as the  means to remove Yahya. So don't feel 
burdened to form a united  opposition on account of the people.
 
Thank you and may DaarManso continue to bless all of you in your  
self-interests.
 
Haruna.

Haruna, your comments are simple, logical and straight  forward. But the 
sad facts is that, some people cannot even think for  themselves without 
Sallah telling them how. Halifa's attempt to be  Jack of all trade meant that, he 
did injustice to himself and UDP/NRP  analysing absent voters and the 
synergy effect with him being a mortal  man could'nt quantify.
Halifa should display his formula of his cirtic of the  UDP/NRP not adding 
the absent voters to the pool. Absent voters  affected all the parties, 
including PDOIS and NDam.
Haruna, your efforts are honourable and honest. Where you  criticise me and 
my attempts, i recognise the reasoning in them. When  we send our 
rejoinder, Halifa's few fans in American made all sorts of  noise, some saying:
Halifa is under attack, we should stop  all talks
Now who did we responded to? The wind or Halifa? Did this people  actually 
read anything Halifa wrote?
My hunch is they don't. But when Mr Grey-Johnson again repeated  Halifa 
mistakes, i didn't hear this people who nearly went into  coma  when we their 
patron, when Darboe was branded power  hungry etc by a misguided bigoted 
partisan.
The two face mentality is the real reason Halifa is continuing  what he 
doing. Behind his back his own guys are dissolution with him,  among people, 
they defend his ideas even after knowing they don't make  sense. And as for 
Pasamba, true peace will come to pass when you are  bold enough to confront 
Halifa. But for now, it will be a dream.
Haruna, keep writing. 
Suntou

Olfactor you can't help but take a swipe at yours truly. What  is wrong 
with you men? I'll have you know you can't have a better  friend than Haruna. I 
just got off the phone with a friend. He tells  me president Clinton is 
doing marvelously and with our continued  prayers, he should be back up, 
straight up, to continue to assist in  Haiti and Northern Ireland. I told him I 
have a friend in Dublin who  could hold the torch for Ireland as the president 
recovers. So I  messed up your hibernation long before you perceived it. 
SOmeone  will be looking for you over there to lend all Ireland a hand as she  
works through devolution. Won't you do Ireland a good turn? Migrant  worker 
or not, you still live in Ireland. So why go into hibernation  on account 
of your friend Haruna when you could be working for  Northern Ireland???? 
Learn to not take, take, take. Learn to give,  give, give. Besides I did not 
hear where you tried to get our mutual  friend Demba out of box. I know your 
life has some value. I just  gotta figure it out for you. I still love you.
 
Now then Dad, you did a marvelous job in amicus of Halifa's  electoral 
arithemetic which you inform us was the basis for Agenda  2011. You must be 
commended for this. It is what mortal man can  expect of a partisan. I totally 
admire your zeal and sport. I guess  it is not necessary therefore for me to 
read Agenda 2011 afterall. I  will share some notes with you and they will 
be brief.
 
In my view, Halifa's un-intended dishonesty does not lie in  the 
arithemetic adduand. As a philosopher and sociologist par  excellence, Halifa must 
have been taught that linear arithemetic is  not terribly valuable for 
philosophers and sociologists. That is why  linear algebra and additional math were 
introduced in those years  where sociologists and philosophers shared their 
agonies in  explaining human conditions and considerations. Throw in the  
philosopher and sociologist who wishes to use politics to solve the  landmark 
equations of social engineering. Why do people vote? Why do  they vote the 
way they do?
 
Let me be the first to share with you that the  adduand exclusively should 
not be considered in electoral  arithemetic. You cannot explain the 
distributive and  associative properties only by using addition alone, addition and  
subtraction alone, Or addition, subtraction, and multiplication  alone. 
Electoral arithemetic must include the use of addition,  subtraction, 
multiplication, division, the operations of integral  and derivative science are a 
complex use of these four, and they  cannot even begin to tackle electoral 
mathematics. Secondly, you  must endeavour to include the time value of 
elections and votes and  the time value of human considerations. That is where the 
accountant  comes to the aid of the philosopher/sociologist/politician. Even 
 further, electoral calculus contains some intractable variables such  as 
personal considerations of the voter that are a function of  his/her state of 
mind at the time of voting. What you must not do  under any circumstance, 
is to extrapolate or compare votes of  different periods or periodic 
elections. Your quandry is not  complete even after you satisfy the foregoing. There 
comes the  matter of vote-buying, vote-selling which Halifa himself was at  
pains to convince us happens during the elections in Gambia. Well  throw in 
the mix of the Gambian voter's problems of Yahya's  intimidations, 
electoral riggings, and ballot stuffings, why you  have just thoroughly 
discombabulated yourself.
 
In essence, the dishonesty displayed by Halifa, though  unintended, is a 
result of using a dishonest formula. Now when you  skew that formula to 
portray another opposition party as incapable  to win future elections, you burden 
straightforward dishonest  calculus with odious bias. If the premise 
therefore of AGENDA 2011  is the result of such arithemetic, well you know the 
rest of the  story.
 
Therefore, I urge Halifa to apologise to the readers of Agenda  2011 and 
all other opposition parties, and when we work on a  roadmap, to cease 
redefining past elections in Gambia. Past election  results in Gambia will not 
afford any valuable or meaningful  discernment for any opposition party. And 
Foroyaa, based on such  arithemetic wishes opposition parties to go back to the 
drawing  board. For what????????? We are all unduly mesmerized by the  
sanctity of a total opposition union. I advise sobriety and caution  against 
disingenuity and pretense.
 
I commend you nonetheless for efforting amicus of Agenda 2011  and Halifa.
 
Olfactor, any minute now you'll hear a knock on your door.  Nobody 
hibernates in Ireland anymore. She invests enormous amounts  to market herself as a 
lively tourist destination. You should help  her in that regard. I love you 
all.
 
Haruna.

Nyang,
 
Keep up the good work, however dealing with grouchy  characters is 
difficult, for reason and reality is  not their forte. Let me go back to my 
hibernation as our grouch  par excellence here has snorted at people  who have 
decided to ignore his incessant and vapid rambling. I  do not want to be

Nyang once again keep the fire burning and keep helping me  out of my

Suntu, 
 

How Many times am I to prove that you do not do your  homework well? I can 
see that you are trying to get allies  from all those People with hate 
messages. This is weakening  your course. Such hate messages cannot isolate any 
one.. We  have seen those types of people here in the US during  Obama’s 
campaign. They cannot explain why they hate him.  

Consequently their hate messages worked out very well  for Obama. Here too 
you are giving Halifa more publicity  than he has asked for. The worse thing 
that you did to your  self is to raise issues which led to the challenge 
for  Halifa to explain the role he played in NADD. I am still  waiting to read 
part 3 so that things will be clearer since  your camp is still trying to 
distort the truth even though  no NADD leader had come out in public to do so.
 
Your last hope to discredit Halifa is your claim that  he distorted the 
result of the 2001 Presidential elections  just to prove that the UDP lost more 
votes than it really  did, when compared to 2006 so that its leadership 
would be  discredited. In my reaction to your rejoinder I decided to  skip the 
issue of the exact number of votes your party the  UDP had in the 2001 
election in order to do a proper  research on it. I have now scanned the results 
of the 2001  Presidential elections with the signature of the then  Chairman 
of the Independent Electoral Commission Gabriel  Roberts.
 
However, before going into your distortion of the  results I would want to 
help one of your friends to  understand what I meant when I said Darboe was 
not brave  enough to tell his colleagues what he wanted and stuck by it  
before they ventured to form NADD. He misunderstood me  completely and strayed 
into accusing Halifa of promoting  that a brave person should be selected to 
lead an opposition  alliance. My position is that if Darboe is strongly  
convinced that he should lead and others should follow. He  should simply 
declare that for all to understand and then  proceed to sell his agenda to the 
people. Whoever wants to  join him would do so and those who would not want 
to join  him would go on with their own programmes. Since UDP is not  ready 
to compromise on leadership it should make that clear  and stand by that 
decision and should not join any  arrangement where leadership would have to be 
negotiated  with other stakeholders. 
 
let me now deal with the results of the 2001  Presidential elections. 
Halifa made it clear in his Agenda  2011 that UDP had 149448 votes in 2001 while 
NRP had 35,671  votes. Please read the Agenda again. You will get the real  
figures rather than approximations. If you want a copy of  the Agenda i will 
mail it to you electronically. 
 
Halifa indicated that the two parties formed an  alliance in 2006 along 
with GPDP and had votes numbering  104,808 votes..Halifa concluded that 
compared to the 2001  figures the two parties lost 80,301 votes. Where then has  
Halifa gone wrong?
 
Could you not do simple addition and subtraction? Add  149,448 votes to 
35,67. You should get 185,119 votes.  Subtract 104,808 from 185,119. What is 
your answer? Is it  not 80,301 votes. Halifa is dead correct and you the 
members  of the UDP camp in the UK are dead wrong.
 
I have investigated and got the results a long time  ago. I wanted to check 
whether you have leaders who would  guide you to know the truth. The fact 
that you are still  persisting in claiming that Halifa’s figures are wrong 
has  forced me to request for a scanned declaration of results  signed by The 
Chairman of the IEC and I hope you will now  apologise to Halifa for your 
misleading statements. I am  surprised by the fact that you are still clinging 
to the  view that Halifa quoted wrong figures even though your  leaders in 
Banjul should be able to tell you the truth  instead of leaving you to 
humiliate yourselves before world  public opinion. I have decided to share the 
copy of the  declarations of the 2001 election results with the online  media 
for all to see for them selves since I cannot directly  place it here unless 
as an attachment. 
 
Furthermore Suntou, you claim that it is the UDP who  enabled Halifa to win 
his Serrekunda Central Seat. Let us  look at the results of the elections 
in Serrekunda since the  UDP was put up by the three major parties of the 
first  Republic, that is, the PPP, the NCP and the GPP.
 
In 1997, the UDP campaigned against Halifa Sallah in  Serrekunda East and 
put up a major PPP supporter, Bakary  Manneh, as their candidate in order to 
exploit OJ’s  popularity as the MP at the time of the coup. The results  
were as follows Halifa had 8, 529 votes, The UDP had 8,  067votes and the APRC 
had 9, 575votes. Contrary to your  position that the UDP put up a candidate 
against Halifa in  the 2007 National Assembly elections to humble him while 
it  left Sidia Jatta’s seat uncontested since he was a humble  PDOIS leader, 
Halifa did not stand as a Presidential  Candidate in 1996. It is Sidia 
Jatta who stood as a  candidate against the UDP. And in the 1997 National 
Assembly  elections, the UDP also put up a prominent NCP supporter in  Wuli 
against Sidia Jatta. Alhamdu Conteh who stood as The  UDP candidate had 1,098, 
Mamadi Karlo Jabai of the APRC had  4, 641 and Sidia Jatta of PDOIS had 5, 499. 
Sidia won  despite UDP"s attempt to contest the seat.
 
In the 2002 National Assembly elections, the UDP  boycotted the elections 
and called on all its members to  stay away from the polls. In Serre Kunda 
Central, Halifa had  5, 563 votes as a PDOIS Candidate while the APRC 
candidate  had 5, 143 votes. Halifa won.
 
In the 2005 by election in Serre Kunda Central, Halifa  had 5, 911 votes as 
a candidate of the alliance while the  APRC had 3, 984 votes. Ther alliance 
added only 348 votes to  the 2002 votes Halifa had as a PDOIS candidate. As 
a NADD  candidate Halifa had 4, 302 in the 2007 National Assembly  
elections, UDP had 1, 548. and the APRC had 6, 386.
 
It should be clear that Sidia and Halifa both won their  seats as PDOIS 
candidates irrespective of the UDP. UDP made  a big mistake in contesting the 
Serrekunda central seat. It  did not spoil anything for Halifa. It spoilt its 
own name.  Many young people started to describe it as a party that  pours 
the sand in the porridge if it is not invited to share  in the eating. UDP 
UK is also doing more harm to the UDP. I  will take up this issue later.
 
Suntu you concluded that: "The UDP U.K knows very well,  Halifa's students 
will come trying to defend the  indefensible. They will again continue to 
twist the facts  and try to blame others for Halifa's inability to convince  
Gambian voters. What the UDP propose which is respectfully  talked by sincere 
Gambians, Halifa don't want to pay  attention to that. What he want is to 
talk directly to  Gambians, the civil society, the NGO's etc and then create 
a  cadre of people who will later chose him as their  saviour."
 
This is your allegation. This is your fear. You do fear  that Halifa could 
convince the Gambian voters. Your  objective therefore is to prevent this 
through premeditated  character assassination. You claim that I am trying to  
distort facts. What facts are we trying to distort? If  Halifa cannot 
convince the Gambian people then why is he  your headache. Halifa is not Darboes 
problem and Darboe is  not Halifa’s problem. The problem of the Gambian 
people  should be our problem .Allow me to quote what Halifa said  recently.  
 
"Interestingly enough, in 2001 the APRC candidate had  242, 302 votes when 
it forged no alliance with the NCP. At  that time there were 501, 304 
registered voters. Suffice it  to say, even though the number of voters increased 
by 169,  032, by 2006 the votes of the APRC could only increase by  22,102 
votes. The UDP candidate had 149,448 votes in 2001.  Even though it developed 
alliance with NRP, which had 35,671  votes in 2001, its votes went down 
104,808 votes in the 2006  elections, despite the increase in the number of 
registered  voters by 169, 032 voters."
 

"Foroyaa: What is your advise?"

"It is therefore necessary for political leaders to go  back to the drawing 
board and map out a new way forward. How  is the opposition to attract the 
542,055 voters who did not  vote for them is the subject at hand. This is 
what Agenda  2011 is all about. Even though I am not excluding acceptance  of 
candidature, I have already declared that the best option  is to select a 
neutral candidate who will be able to run a  non partisan transitional cabinet 
for a period of 2 to 5  years and then step aside after a genuine multi 
party  contest. It is left to Gambians to decide whether they have  a better 
way forward."
 
Please ask Darboe to state his proposal for a way  forward so that we know 
what the UDP want for the Nation.  That is better than endless bickering by 
the spokesperson of  the party in the UK .

Bailo, good to know your ears are wide open. I  thought you understood the 
famous English saying "one  man's meat is another man's poison". What you 
believe to  be crap from Suntou is a gem to some and vice verse.
I have always been a fan of politics  Bailo, however it doesn't dominate my 
life. I  reveal here last year that, i was reading and consulting  with 
some Gambian opposition parties. trying to know  certain aspects of their 
politics and also to maintain how  i can relate to them. 
It was after this period, i decided the best option  out there is the 
United Democratic Party. Hence my joining  their ranks.
I appreciate your boldness in stating on several  occasion that a party led 
coalition is the solution. Not  every PDOIS member wish to accept this 
fact, but in life  we have to accept and politely disagree.
The situation for us all are very similar. Our  central concern is to see 
that a government comes to  power that will respect the rule of law and 
adheres to  good governance. And also a government that will abide by  term 
limits and allow for diaspora Gambians to come home  anytime and stand for 
election without any restriction  like it it is now.
UDP/NRP all agrees with this principles and also  PDOIS. Therefore the 
deliberate error some people are  throwing about saying that, Ousainou will not 
abide by  term limits is the biggest nonsense.
Ousainou is selected by the UDP at there annual  party congress to lead the 
party, yet Jeggan is  complaining that Ousainou didn't hand over to 
someone. Who  is the new expert to lecture the UDP on how to select a  party leader?
Let Halifa hand over the leadership of PDOIS to Sam  Sarr before he too 
passes the required age. After all, the  American system seems to be if you 
cannot get the  presidency, you pass it on. Let Sam step up. Jeggan can  
lecture his PDOIS members but not us.
The annoying thing in all this exchanges is that,  those who cry baby when 
we reacted are all in  hibernation, this world.
No wonder truth is relative. Bee kaa foo ila bori  leya, tiw tiw ( each 
person shout for your runner).  Things are moving, albeit slowly. But progress 
is been  made. Ajarama, and Ibalen jam. Ya Allah dandu meen foof  kata e 
katato. Ameen.

Suntou,

I heard you loud and  clear. But we gotta move on and not get stuck to  the 
past.

As for the NIA, they are  everywhere in the Gambia. Recently a young man 
was  pulled out of a public bus at Denton bridge and  merciless beaten to a 
vegetative state by our  so-called security forces. His crime? The bus in  
which he was travelling was like all vehicles on  the road at the time ordered 
off the road because  the Presidential motorcade was expected along it.  The 
wait was apparently long and this young man  made the mistake of telling 
someone he was was  speaking with on his mobile that they were waiting  for 
the for the convoy of our stupid president  to pass. An NIA informant 
overheard his  indiscretion and decided to teach him a lesson.  When the bus reached 
Denton Bridge; the informant  ordered the driver of the bus to halt the 
bus, the  young chap was pulled out and his alleged crime  reported to the 
security forces. Their immediate  reaction was to beat him to a vegetative state 
for  his indiscretionary words against the President.  

It is therefore ordinary private citizens  who are paying a higher price 
under the status quo  than public personalities like Ousainou, Halifa,  OJ, 
Seedia and the rest, the immense sacrifice of  the latter category  
nothwithstanding.

Honestly, I am not a  strong moslem as you. Evidence suggests that are  not 
a taleban otherwise the only technology you  would approved of is the 
killing machines. I guess  you own a tv and even a computer. As such If you  were 
a taleban, your fellow talebans would have  been seeking to publicly flog 
for your deviation.  So you cannot be a taleban! Though I must confess  that 
sometimes I tend to mis-consider you as one  very angry ayatollah who 
considers so-called PDOIS  fanatics like myself as supporters of the great  Satan. 
I sincerely hope that is not so. Remember,  you cautioned us sometimes ago 
that politicians  are not to be trusted. Your transformation into  one 
within this short space of time is amazing.  Who and what is primary motivation? 
I suppose  Halifa is not the one. 

Anyway, keep up the  good work for your party and the Gambia in general  
and please leave the crap out. I concur that you  reserve the right  
to.........................


Best  wishes

Bailo

Bailo, your spin was well intention albeit  your inability to accept the 
facts of your  Messiah's calamity. He cannot hide neither  run  away from his 
mistakes. We are all  willing to move on and try to talk as brothers.  But 
what we cannot leave alone the continuous  blame game Halifa attributed to 
others leaving  his own saintly person out.
Politics is not a career for saints  Bailo, the sooner Halifa recognises 
that the  better. And the gang mentality his supporters  manifest is a turn of 
for even his supporters,  ganging up against those who speak about his  
politics will only cause Halifa less  cloud.
I also notice that, some of his guys start  calling me Taliban, extremist 
and what have you.  If they are willing to stoop so low in  their 
misunderstanding of politics, my body  feel for them. 
Bailo, you are strong a muslims  brother who actively partake in islamic 
actvist,  those that make you a Taliban? I know some of  your Islamic 
commitments, but I also accept  that, as Muslims, we should be interested in  
politics, science, literature, acceptable art,  philosophy, just anything we can 
enhance our  minds with.
But alas, the gossip that Suntou is  intolerant pumped up by the PDOIS boys 
has  reached me a long time. Some of this liers are  even in cahoot with 
the Foroyaa establishment  providing them with equipment and the  like.
My Islam allows me the privilege to be an  enterprising citizen wherever I 
live. I am a  Muslim by choice and will practise Islam to the  best of my 
ability and will put across the  little I know God-Willing. I respect the  
laws of the land i reside in. But If my  comments on Halifa incense some to the 
extent  that, they are willing to vilify and attribute  nonsensical tags to 
me, then I am  vindicated.
 
Let us see how things pan out, we standby  our findings and whenever it 
becomes necessary,  we shall respond to all false analogies on UDP.  For those 
who wish to be taken seriously  including you Bailo, distant yourself from  
errors, no matter who commits them, only then  people will accept your 
subsequent cries.
 Modou's abysmal response require no  countering from us. he place Halifa 
in even more  serious doubts hence putting across Halifa's  line. He is the 
brave soldier and others not.  The facts speaks different. Ousainou's office 
is  man regularly by NIA agents, doing all they can  to deter him from 
actively politics. His clients  harassed, his associated harassed, yet the  
foroyaa guys go about their business selling  papers and earning yet claiming to 
be  sacrificing more than others. It make me laugh  mate.

Comrade Modou,

Your  clarification efforts are highly appreciated.  Let us now move on and 
chart a new course  towards helping bring about unity within the  
opposition movement. In our unity is our  strength. However, I strongly believe that 
the  general opposition movement would again fail to  realise our common 
goal of achieving a new  Gambia for all if we continue to rely on already  
tried and tested counterproductive strategies of  destructive criticism aimed at 
promoting one's  candidate while vigorously attempting to tarnish  that of 
another's. Some may argue that come on,  this is merely politics at play. I 
personally  consider such tactics as a smear campaign.  Anyone on the 
frontline of our national politics  conscientiously opposing the retrogessive  
policies and actions of the unjust APRC regime  deserve nothing but support and 
encouragement  from everyone craving and campaigning for  positive changes 
in the Gambia. Ousainou Darboe,  Halifa Sallah, Femi Peters, Seedia Jatta, 
Mai  Fatty and many others like them therefore only  deserve our genuine 
respect and good advice. I  had concluded long time ago that under the  current 
poliitcal dispensation in in our beloved  country the easiest and most 
convenient resort  for any person seeking only their own personal  interest would 
be to join the APRC Party.  

Our primary objective should be towards  ensuring that the leaderships of 
the UDP-led  Alliance and the remnants of NADD coalition  would both sooner 
rather later pursue a strategy  of meaningful co-operation with one another  
towards achieving an over-due united front  against the incompetent and 
callous APRC regime.  That way, the doubters would have been  confounded and 
hope lost by the silent majority  of Gambians would be restored.

Let  confidence building measures between all sides  of the opposition be 
pursued in earnest from now  on as time is precious sliding away.  

Please try to help get your dear uncle  bailed out after being found guilty 
and  sentenced yesterday for making a wrongful  attribution to our dear 
colleague, Halifa.  Coincidentally, the amount payable which is any,  should be 
envoyed to him in jail for the benefit  of good Gambian causes he has been 
diligently  campaigning for.

Finally I wish to  commend organisations such as the STGDP and GDP  who 
have been focussing on just that. Let us not  be daunted nor depair; ultimate 
victory is  assured for the cause of any struggle for  justice, freedom and 
respect for human  dignity.

Let us turn a new constructive  page. Let all good works go on.  Amen!

Bailo

Bailo,
 
Uncle Haruna understands Halifa very well.  This is why he prefers to rely 
on the issue of  credibility and not the election statistics  which Halifa 
relied on to draw his conclusion.  My uncle is among those who say that 
politics is  about numbers. In fact the other camp rely on  this so much that 
they refer to some parties as  fringe parties. They know what Halifa is talking 
 about but like the proverbial ostrich they  prefer to bury their head in 
the sand. 
 
You see, some of these people do not care  whether there is change or not. 
What they are  interested in is the change they want. If they  cannot get it 
they prefer to join Jammeh. They  should not fool the rest of us. Where is 
Waa who  used to criticize Halifa. He accepted the post  of a governor while 
Halifa rejected the post of  a Minister. This is the difference between him 
 and his critics. He wants genuine change for the  long suffering Gambian 
people. 
 
Halifa has made it quite clear that the  lowest common multiple in politics 
is numbers  and concluded that the numbers which rejected  both opposition 
and ruling party are so  overwhelming that none could be considered  
credible if that is the yardstick of measuring  credibility. He therefore concluded 
that those  who want change should go back to the drawing  board. He 
offered a proposal and called on  others with better proposals to offer their own. 
 Where is the bickering? All honest Gambians have  seen the light and 
cannot be deceived any more.  They know who is power hungry and those who want  
to empower the people.
 
Nyang

Haruna tendered "So here Evian you will  notice that my notes were in 
response to your  notes and I encourage you to read your notes  where you 
re-presented what Halifa said."  

This is how I represented  Halifa's statement: "You seem to be in denial  
but that is sadly the truth. The APRC is far  from credible and from the 
perspective of the  potential electorate, neither exists a more  credible 
alternative. Otherwise, the opposition  would have won last time."

Please note  that perspective does always represent  reality.

The truth isI did not   misrepresent Halifa; you did. Instead of  
acknowledging your error, you are trying  to shift it elsewhere. That's absolute  
dishonesty!

What  i will do Evian is to leave my comments close to  yours and Halifa's 
in order that the proximity  may yield further comprehension where cacophany 
 meddles.

COMMENTS AFTER THE APRC  TOUR
    
 
 
Sheikh Haruna, The following is exactly  what Comrade Halifa was reported 
to have stated  (emphasis mine):

“Some  supporters of the APRC said that the opposition  parties in the 
Gambia are not credible. They  should also add that the ruling party is not  
credible. Their assessment of Gambian politics  as it stands would then be 
correct and  balanced."

And this  is how you interpreted it:

"As to which party  official speaks for the other parties, Halifa  shared 
with us that there is no credible  opposition or ruling party. What he should 
have  said was that his party PDOIS was not credible.  Then he would have 
been speaking for himself  because he is more intimately aware of PDOIS'  
credibility. i think he was echoing  Waa's assertions that there is no credible 
 opposition. The problem is instead of focusing  on his party's 
credibility, he attempted to  match Waa's cluelessness. In so doing he  admitted Waa 
may be  right."


 

So here Evian you will notice that my  notes were in response to your notes 
and I  encourage you to read your notes where you  re-presented what Halifa 
said. Then come back  here and read the entire quote as it appeared in  the 
Foroyaa note, undoctored by you. What you  will conclude is that even given 
your sophomoric  representation, my comment (Not interpretation)  here does 
capture the cluelessness of PDOISards  fantastically. You see the APRC 
supporters are  smart people compared to Halifa. They are not  interested in 
selling the demerits of the ruling  party because that is who they support. Now 
 Halifa advising them to ALSO say that there is  no CREDIBLE RULING PARTY, 
in addition to There  is no CREDIBLE OPPOSITION PARTY, and that they  will 
have been both CORRECT and BALANCED is  where he put his foot in his mouth. 
Implicitly,  Halifa agrees with their supposition that there  is no CREDIBLE 
opposition party as CORRECT.  Because there is more than PDOIS in the  
opposition parties, Halifa is thereby speaking  for other parties. That is the 
reason I shared  the advice about when in court and accused of  theft, your 
defense ought not be that not only  are you a thief in agreement with your 
accuser,  your accuser is also a thief. The grander  picture Bailo is when you 
consider you are an  independent voter. And you hear Halifa utter  such. How 
does it make you feel about him and  his incredulous party PDOIS. Forget 
NADD at this  time for there is really nothing in NADD besides  PDOIS. Please 
let me know if this is still not  clear to you.
 
[So now let us focus on separating the  chaff from the grain: Halifa 
reported that "some  supporters of the APRC said that the opposition  parties in 
the Gambia are not credible."  This is factual. It is APRC supporters  like 
Waa Juwara as you conceded who are claiming  the above; it is not Halifa as 
you wrongly  asserted. Halifa is merely a messenger who  conveyed the 
message. What Halifa opined in  response is "They  should also add that the ruling 
party is not  credible. Their assessment of Gambian politics  as it stands 
would then be correct and  balanced."] Evian.

 

Inutile.

[I hope you would therefore accordingly  revise your interpretation of Halif
a's statement  to reflect the reality of what he expressed.]  Evian.
 
I was not interpreting anything. I was  translating. And there is no 
further revision  necessary.

[You aso wrote: 
"I  would encourage you to read Halifa's quotation  again because I think 
you misunderstood it. Not  that it makes any significant difference whether  
you understood it or not. It just throws your  analysis of that part off 
quilter a bit. That is  the bit about "Not excluding acceptance of  
candidature". There Halifa is speaking of  himself and not the candidature of other. 
Share  with us your renewed understanding."] Evian  regurgitating what Haruna 
shared.

[As you  encouraged, I referred again to the relevant  statement of Halifa 
as follows (emphasis  mine):
"Even though I am not  excluding acceptance of candidature, I  have already 
declared that the best option is to  select a neutral candidate who will be 
able to  run a non partisan transitional cabinet for a  period of 2 to 5 
years and then step aside after  a genuine multiparty contest. It is left to  
Gambians to decide whether they have a better  way forward."] Evian 
repeating. 

[My  understanding of the statement remains the same  even though I admit 
that Halifa did not qualify  whose candidature he meant.] Evian.
 
Halifa did not need to qualify whose  candidature he spoke of. The English 
is sound  and very good. If it were you or Mams I would  have asked for 
further clarification.
 
[He did not indicated either "my" or "any"  to give us precision of 
reference to  candidature.] Evian.
 
Bailo, the MY is implicit. That happens all  the time in conversations in 
English. Just for  fun, let us replace MY with ANY just  before candidature. 
That would not have been the  best sentence structure but it still tells you 
 Halifa is speaking of himself. This is  because MY is the ownership litmus 
 but ANY goes to the quality of the  candidature and not domain. Hey Allah, 
I hope  you understand me. So let's extend the semantic  game further; Let 
us say Halifa meant Ousainou,  OJ, Hamat, or Waa's candidature, and insert 
any  of these names just before candidature. Now you  will agree with me that 
Halifa does not have the  purview of accepting other's candidature. Do you  
agree? If you don't just ask yourself where is  the authority for Halifa to 
ACCEPT a  dog-catcher's candidature????? He can ascend to  their 
candidatures when they accept accept it  themselves and the way he does that is by 
voting  his desire or ascension. These are some of the  games Shaky Shaky plays 
with English in order to  improve himself. Please let me know if you need  
further ideas on these and others.
 
[In essence, he might have been referring  to his own candidature or 
someone else's.]  Evian.
 
Unless he is retarded, he could not have  been referring to any other's 
candidature.
 
[It is for him to help clarify.]  Evian.
 
I don't need Halifa to clarify and I am  certain most of our coleagues 
don't need any  further clarification of the statement. Let us  save Halifa the 
mental gymnastics where he could  try to manufacture extraneous meaning. 
That will  be a bigger problem for the man.
 
[Whatever he meant, I know that either  interpretations are possible.] 
Evian.
 
You do the tests and convince yourself  either way. It is easy. You can do 
it  Bailo.

[In conclusion, I think you have mistakenly  fallen for that proverbial 
saying of comparing  apples and oranges in the following statement of  yours: 
"Halifa endorsing Ousainou's candidature  will be equal to you or me 
endorsing Ousainou's  candidature or Halifa's candidature at this  point in time. 
There is not much basis for  that."] Evian repeating what Haruna  shared.

[In order words, you have  over-rated yourself and me at to be at par with  
Halifa;] Evian.
 
No. I am not at par with Halifa. Just ask  him. We are of different mettle 
and polarly  opposite ambition.
 
[the latter is a political known and both  you and me are virtual political 
unknowns.]  Evian.
 
Well. Do you want to be a political known  Bailo????? I can make your arse 
famous in a  jiffy. You might not like what you become famous  for though. 
Political known. I have not heard  such cacamayme since Moussa Camara shared  
Mbaranbirinbiring with me in 1982 in  Kuntaur.
 
[Therein lies the difference between us  Halifa's endorsement of any 
candidature.]  Evian.
 
I see.
 
[Cheers] Evian.
 
Cheers to you too. And don't try to be cute  with your Grand Pa again. If 
you know what is  good for you, you'll turn in your PDOIS  armband.
 
I still love you though.
Haruna.

   Foroyaa News : HALIFA  SALLAH COMMENTS AFTER THE APRC TOUR, NO CREDIBLE  
RULING PARTY NO CREDIBLE OPPOSITION A NEW WAY  FORWARD NEEDED 

After the completion  of the APRC tour, Foroyaa approached Halifa  Sallah 
for comments.
This is what he  said:

“Political leaders should  tell their supporters the truth. A political  
vacuum exists in the Gambia. Some supporters of  the APRC said that the 
opposition parties in the  Gambia are not credible. They should also add  that the 
ruling party is not credible. Their  assessment of Gambian politics as it 
stands  would then be correct and balanced. Some leaders  who do not want to 
be honest to their supporters  are trying to give the impression that the  
statistics I have been putting out are over  statements. They are not telling 
their  supporters the truth. Political leaders should  tell the truth. For 
only the truth shall set us  free. I have relied on empirical evidence to  
conclude that at this very moment we do not have  a credible ruling party or 
opposition party. We  have a duty to create both. Those who are  offended by 
this statement are not prepared to  do what is necessary to save Gambian 
politics  from being an exercise in  mediocrity.

After the presidential  elections in 2006, I wrote a pamphlet in which I  
quoted the statistics to confirm my assertion.  Gambians have to be reminded 
these statistics to  awaken each from our political apathy.  

According to the IEC, 670, 336 voters  were registered prior to the 2006 
presidential  elections. When the results were delivered the  IEC indicated 
that the APRC candidate who was  also supported by the NCP had 264,404 votes. 
If  this is subtracted from the total number of  registered voters it would 
mean that 405,932  voters did not vote for the APRC candidate. The  UDP 
candidate who was also supported by NRP and  GPDP had 104,808 votes, while the 
NADD candidate  had 23,473 votes. The total votes of the  opposition amounted 
to 128,281 votes. If this is  subtracted from the total number of 
registered  voters it would be apparent that 542,055 voters  did not vote for the 
opposition. Wherein lies  the credibility of the ruling party and the  
opposition party if politics is reduced to its  lowest common denominator as contest 
based on  the number of votes. 

Interestingly  enough, in 2001 the APRC candidate had 242,302  votes when 
it forged no alliance with the NCP.  At that time there were 501,304 
registered  voters. Suffice it to say, even though the  number of voters increased 
by 169032, by 2006  the votes of the APRC could only increase by  22,102 
votes. The UDP candidate had 149,448  votes in 2001. Even though it developed 
alliance  with NRP, which had 35,671 votes in 2001, its  votes went down 
104,808 votes in the 2006  elections, despite the increase in the number of  
registered voters by 169032 voters.

Foroyaa: What is your  advise?

It is therefore necessary  for political leaders to go back to the drawing  
board and map out a new way forward. How is the  opposition to attract the 
542,055 voters who did  not vote for them is the subject at hand. This  is 
what Agenda 2011 is all about. Even though I  am not excluding acceptance of 
candidature, I  have already declared that the best option is to  select a 
neutral candidate who will be able to  run a non partisan transitional 
cabinet for a  period of 2 to 5 years and then step aside after  a genuine 
multiparty contest. It is left to  Gambians to decide whether they have a better  
way forward.
