It would have been wise if the UDP had not joined the PPP in a marriage of convenience at a time when Hamat all along had been fighting for the rights of all. This "Animal Farm" behavior is the culprit. Even if we take SM out of the picture, the biggest setback is the premature decision by the selected few to nominate Ousainou. They should have exhausted every available resource before embarking on a suicidal marriage". It amazes me that people still don't realise that the PPP is set to come back into our lives through the backdoor by taking over the UDP. It is clear to all that the UDP is the main the opposition party with the most prospects of giving Jammeh a run for his money. By this tactical move, they have virtually relegated the rest of the opposition into nothingness. If the NRP can fully and willingly embrace the UDP in a tactical alliance during the Kiang East by-elections, it stands to reason that they would not be very difficult to convince to join a unified coalition that endorses Lawyer Darbo. If that is plausible, how come then, all of a sudden, there is this rift between them? How come there is this dis-array within the opposition if they all have in common the interests of the Gambian people? Could be a case of self above the national interest? There seems to be something seriously wrong and fishy here, if you ask me. Have a good day, Gassa. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
