Mr. Sidibeh: I did not read your points incorrectly. I wrote to take an exception, but not a condemnation of your views. You have every right to be neutral. What amazed me was the generalization that everyone supported the overthrow of Sir Dawda's government. I still maintain that it was illegal for a democratically elected government to be overthrown by a military. Things have taken the worst in The Gambia because yahya and his cohorts do not care about the average Gambian. They will use any kind of force to remain in power. I also want to let you know that I oppose any kind of military intervention to overthrow the thugs out of power. This would only complicate situations and further cause instability in our country. The solution to our problems is simple. We are fragmented and refuse to unite. We in the Gambia-L can write and criticize the illegal government, but if we are unwilling to unite for a common cause, our enemy will always prevail. Some people are quick to accuse advocates of fairness all kinds of pronouns. What is at stake here is that we have a dictator who is using tribal warfare against majority of Gambians. It is not unpatriotic to criticize this kind of evil that will eventually divide us. Finally, we must remember that the opposition should unite and focus on one presidential candidate. "A house divided will never stand." Until later, dictator yahya jemus must go.
