Mr. Kah, I agree that discussing the issues is what will help to portray the opposition in a better picture at this time of the resistance tothe tyranny we have back home. One of these issues is Jammeh's personality as a head of state. You will undoubtedly agree that he is arrogant and sometimes beyond. As a head of state, such personalities has rippling effects on every aspect of governance,thus indirectly to daily life in Gambia. Disecting and analysing such characteristics in ahead of state is a well founded approach to removing decadence in ours'. By doing so, no one is claiming to have the answers. We are only trying to understand what we see and hear. Check this out, he - Yaya Jammeh - pres ents himself as the state, the government and the APRC (Arrogant President Ruling a Country). He, on many occasions, utters scornful and condescendingly proud invectives such as 'my hospitals', 'my schools', 'my roads','if you don't vote for me I will make sure you suffer'. Do you honestly think that his personality should not be an issue? The same goes for those very close to him, those who take the law in their own hands without much done about it. They see themselves and act like they are the authority because they are "loyal" to Jammeh and thus "patriots". The cleansing has to start with the personalities - personailities that determine how a leader will succeed in bringing everyone together for a better and prosperous nation. My Opinion. Good day to you.
