Dear Mr. Kujabi: You must not be embarrassed by your Jola heritage because Jammeh is one, and acts so recklessly. Most Jolas I know are hard-working,and peace-loving. The Jolas like the Manjagos have traditionally been peoples who practiced "true democracy" as power was never concentrated in one person. Power was diffused and non-hierarchical, at least for the men. Jammeh has used his Jola heritage, like he uses religion, blame and scapegoating to protect his own political/economic interests. Do not have Jammeh undermine your self-esteem. Work toward his removal.
