It is amazing that people hated this government with so much passion, that we can entertain this kind of violent recourse to take over power. It should happen once, but not twice. From the experiences in other places, and even what has transpired in our country, we should not condone or take such threats lightly. If Gambians want their country to degenerate into another sorrow situation as the likes of Liberia and Sierra Leone, we should then be apologetic to this kind of destablizing public statements, and publicly instilling fear in the hearts of the Gambian people. It is a psychological warfare which can explode in our face, and mirred our country into an irredeemable catastrophe. We were lucky once, but cannot count on being lucky again. Let us all try to convince ourselves, that the best approach to bring change and lasting peace in our beautiful country, is only through constitutional means. This is the only way. Let us trust the Gambian people, that when the time has come for them to change their government, they surely will. Let no one try to act for them, or on their behalf. As long as it may take, they are bound eventually to make the right choices.
