Elhajj Mustapha, We always need the timely intervention of elders of your kind to share their wisdom, and set us to refocus on the ultimate mission- the restoration of legitmacy, peace and prosperity to our dear mother land. Internal rivalry amonsgt freedom fighters has definetly no place at this moment of Gambian history. We can all suspend our differences until our dear Gambia is saved from tyranny, then settle the rest through the rule of law, human decency and good faith. Your proposition for unity of action is long over due. I have called earlier for a United Front across the board- Halifa, Darboe, Bah, all the elders of the Gambia, and civil societies to come together with one Gambian platform to restore legitimacy, a necessary lebensraum for any credible democracy to survive in the Gambia. I still cannot fathom what is so hard in this. I have exposed to you all the tactics that Jammeh is constantly using to target, isolate and finally annihilate his individual opponents through "active measures". I guess may be some people underestimate these actions, yet my worry is it shall be too late to ever do anything. These measures are rigorously designed to give Jammeh and the AFRC "plausible denialibility" and no amount of evidence can ever trace the perpetrators to the real culprits. Therefore it shall be absolute folly trying to rationalize these activities. I hope and pray that the leaders of the Gambian society can once again create a United Front and take a resolute political action through civil disobedience. We all know the psychology of group dynamics, all it takes to start a revolution is to agitate, and everything else shall follow. Few historical evidence under very repressive regimes- Mali under Musa Traore, Iran under the Shah, Romania under Nicholai Ceaucescu, Phillipines under Marcos and many more.....perhaps Gambia under Yaya Jahannam. Fellow Gambians time is ticking, and that is all what tyranny needs to survive.
