Hello Mr Conteh, To generalise my scenerio, base on the fact that,the statistic show during the take over not what individuals like yourself did.Maybe you are reading my points negetively for the second time. In my mail concerning this issue, I stated all what you are pondering on which convince me that you do not read my postings positively because I am neither supporting the regim of Jammeh nor do i to Jawara. Brother can't you understand that we are different in opinions and what matters is to work together for the common good of the Gambia. This however, cannot be achieve without co-operation and understanding within our selves. Nepotism is what military government stand for in some point for their own security, yet people are chanting for the same means to gain power in the Gambia. Sorry if I offended you, but I think you are one of the power hungry somebody who cannot wait to be a leader but force himself to it.I am sure Yaya will not win the election if free and fair since before the student event and more after. The only thing we can do as true Gambians at heart, is what some thinkers of this forum are seggesting,that is to pressurize the government by demonstrations and respective letters to the UN and other donor countries and organisation now on to the 2001 election.Using military means to overthrow is just from the frying pan to the fire regarding to macro/micro environment of our mother land. To my understanding of unity is not we should all agree to one kind of solution. Without brainstorming,nothing will be right since no matter what wrong an idea happen to contain everyone will agree on it like it have been happening in the Africa particularly The Gambia for decates now.These kinds of habits are what we should try to eradicate from our context and believes.People are so much superior minded obove the other resulting to colapse in the systems of administration due elitisms. MAY GOD SUSTAIN PEACE AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAMBIA FOLKS AND THE GAMBIA AS A COUNTRY.MAY WE AT THE END OF THE DAY, COMES TOGETHER AND BE THE SAVIOUR INTELLECTUALLY OF OUR SMALL GAMBIA. AMENALLAU YARABI. __________________________________________________________________ EDI LK SIDIBEH NAAKANTIE 2C9 DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS & ADMINISTRATION 48320 KOTKA KYMENLAAKSO POLYTECHNIQUE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: PEACETO EVERYONE ON EARTH.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, On Sat, 29 Apr 2000, Muhammad Lamine Jassey-Conteh wrote: > Mr. Sidibeh: > I will take an exception to your scenario.
