Haruna, Thanks for that statement. Actions speak louder than words- so goes the old adage. I would have taken Jammeh seriously if he had followed up his words with actions like releasing Dumo and others and prosecute those who murdered our school children. In my view, extending an amnesty to Jawara is just a political ploy to score a bulls eye. I hope Bully Dibba is paying attention to the actions of Sheriff Dibba who has joined the APRC. When I chastised Sheriff for his selfish actions, Bully Dibba cautioned me to wait and see in the hopes that Sheriff will not join the APRC. Well, the waiting is over and no amount of telling me how "noble" or "unselfish" Sheriff is can convince me. The man is a sycophant as evidenced by his actions. Some of us have a problem of accepting the truth especially when it concerns someone we are related to. I have seen on numerous occasions folks like Bulli Dibba lurking in the corridors of the Gambia L waiting to prance on anyone that says anything to someone they are related to. If you do not want us speaking about your relatives, tell them to bow out of the Gambian public life. Taking up for them and going all emotional will not stop us. If public figures make public statements, the public have all rights to react how they deem fit.
