The President of Kaninlai(as we should now refer to him since he tends to avoid pressure and the burden of Presidency by not living at the State House)is paying a heavy price for his insane acts and animal behavior. It is absolutely sad that, in the 21st Century, we have a President who does not understand the fundamental distinction between a Presidential Responsibility and Personal Desire. These two factors often conflict, and it must always be the former that should prevail at all cost. Unfortunately, we have a president whose personal desire always prevail over the Presidential responsibility. Some of the situations a President often faces require an Avoidance-Avoidance conflict scenario, which puts enormous burden on the President, which becomes the test of his time, but which of course is utterly antagonistic to his Personal desire; but he must act on the basis of Moral Prism and not on Egoism. For it is those Presidential decisions and responsibilities that are dictated by Moral Principle become the prudent decisions and responsibilities that encourage effective leadership. These qualities are what Jammeh lacks, and consequently, the entire country is paying a heavy price too; because each and every insane and immoral decision he takes, always leave a huge vacuum in the country. A typical of such insane decision to protect his personal desire was the shooting of innocent school children, which of course cost the entire country dearly. Furthermore, endorsing the course of the Cassamance Rebels and supporting them to achieve their objective is another insane decision on the part of Jammeh, which comes back to hunt him. A vivid indication of this is the recent arrest of Cassamance Rebels with Gambian documents, and which are of course furnished by Jammeh; and that offended and angered President Abdoulie Wade of Senegal. And to express his frustration and anger to Jammeh, President Wade recently dispatched his special envoy to meet Jammeh and express the anger and frustration to Jammeh himself personally. This is another headache for Jammeh. In addition, to these insane acts, Jammeh is also facing the Crude Oil "Sagga" which may soon be investigated by Parliament; another mental challenge to his mediocre brain. And the leader of UDP, Ousanou ?Darboe has gathered every meticulous details and proofs of Jammeh's Crude Oil deal with President Sani Abacha. This was the very act he had denounced and accused former President, Sir Dawda Jawara of doing; now the relay baton has been given to Jammeh too. What then happens to the Era of TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. I guess it has gone through Jammeh's bed room window. Similarly, during the time of his closest friend and insane President, Sani Abacha of Nigeria, Jammeh had dispatched a special congratulatory letter to Abacha for having the guts to put President Obasanjo on death row, whiles he was detained by Abacha. And after Obasanjo took over, that very letter Jammeh dispatched to Abacha has been seen on files; and this is what has devastated President Obasanjo. Again, this is another headache for Jammeh's mediocre brain. No wonder Jammeh is contemplating on taking an 18 months Mental leave. All these insane decisions created an AVOIDANCE-AVOIDANCE conflict for Jammeh, which he has no other choice, but to avoid decision-making and run to hide in Kaninlai, thinking that that might be the only way to allude pressure. But in any case, his departure is the best and only tangible choice available to Gambians. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
