Dear UDP Leadership: I am concern about the recent expulsion of Hon. Almamy Touray, especially at this critical moment of our struggle. Irrespective of what Hon. Touray did, the leadership of UDP has made a tremendous mistake in an attempt to slowly kill itself. I am of the opinion that individuals within an entity are bound to disagree and have different opinions in how to solve critical positions. If we all agree without one or few disagreeing, it is then a detriment that a semi-dictatorship will evolve within our mist. In this analysis, I condemn the leadership for expelling Hon. Touray. This decision is unwise and will cause a tremendous headache, especially in the gentleman's constituency. If one can research properly, Sir Dawda made the same mistake by making an attempt of expelling Hon. S.M.Dibba. Those around Sir Dawda carried out this vindictive attempt for their own political gains. Now that Hon. Touray is no longer in UDP, the UDP has lost another vote in the assembly. I therefore call on Hon. Touray to remain as an independent and not make a suicidal attempt to join APRC. It is Hon. Touray's duty to stand above all. In conclusion I again condemn the leadership of UDP and urge Hon. Touray to stay independent. I hope the rank and file are listening. We will attempt to change the leadership if the UDP fails for the second time to defeat the dictator of kaninlai. Naphiyo, Comrade ML Jassey-Conteh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
