Mr Sallah, Knowing that time may not allow you to respond to every issue,I nonetheless would like to cease a moment or two from your busy work load and see if you could elaborate your views on issues of concern to me and am sure to many Gambians.. 1. Mr Sallah we all know that these days are the days of Dear God for most Gambians and so my first question to you is when is enough just NOT enough? [Begin Comment] As ambiguous this question may be I still would value your response to it because I sense that Gambians are getting sick and tired of being sick and tired and maybe opposition parties haven't heard us loud enough. [end Comment] 2. Mr Sallah it is believed that the path to Heaven is paved my good intentions, and though I see you as man with lots of good intentions for the people of the Gambia, has it ever occurred to you that maybe your strategies are too modest to remedy the magnitude of barbarism represented by the callous APRC? Suppose your plan A doesn't work, what is your plan B, or other alternatives if you will? 3. Mr Sallah , we have sent petitions after petitions, we've received acknowledgement of concern from the US President Bill Clinton, US Congressman John Lewis, Mayor Bill Campbell of Atlanta, UN Kofi Annan , just to name a few, all of them troubled by the human rights violations that is so prevalent in the Gambia, and note that these initiatives came from concern Gambians here on the L and beyond, thus making me wonder if you opposition leaders are really capable of taking us to the next level. So far Jammeh is still at large and therefore my question is what is your assessment over these mediation tactics and what in your humble opinion, is the ultimate solution to these besetting dilemma? 5. Mr Sallah, for some of us who really have lost hope in peaceful negotiations and having a fair election,what reassurance can you instill in our oppressive minds ? Please do not take this as an opportunity to recruit PDOIS fanatics ,however, your comments are worthy of our time, Sir. 6. Mr Sallah, what exactly is working so well for PDOIS that makes you believe you have the potential to lash out the opposition at the ballot boxes? Where is PDOIS' rank in the polls today? Why not simply form a unified party among others in the opposition against APRC and ensure voter confidence and a subsequent victory for all in the struggle? 7. Mr Sallah, in very simple term, do you think Yahya will lose this election or do you believe like the rest of us that he should be taken out by force? Yes/ No and Why? 8. Mr Sallah, the events of the tragic death of the student demontrators, the death of Ebrima Barry, the alleged rape of the young school girl, the abduction of Dumo and others,the murders of Koro Ceesay & Co. and the recent attack on Radio FM,to name a few are all master-minded by this despotic regime. Could you possibly tell me if any form of justice has yet been served on any of these cases? No one from my knowledge have been held accountable for thse heinous crimes yet the Govt. assured no stones will be left unturned. 'Same Yahya Jammeh = Same Judicial System' per se? 9. Mr Sallah , even as I mention before that the debate between you and Hamjatta was to me very intellectually enticing, what if any do you think would come out of the debate that will help us remove Yahya out of office? Are you still pursuing the challenge/debate or are you presently more concerned about issues of higher priorities since the elections are almost here? 10.Mr Sallah, Does the fact that not you, but Sidia Jatta running for the presidency, sort of limited your zeal to find aggresive and feasible means to do everything necessarily to make sure Yahya didn't last this long or is it simply PDOIS' philosophy of it's up to the people to lead themselves? Enlighten me, Sir. A Concern Gambian, Mr Makaveli. PS: I am not a member of any opposition party yet and I am working on that decision very soon. I am definitely against anything APRC and maybe Mr Sallah will have my support based on answers to my questions. Note that I have a tremendous respect for Mr Sallah and I think he should be commended for what he stands and what he has been doing, no matter how insignicant that difference may be. I await anxiously to be enlightened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
