You are a sick dude. What! Me apologize to you or risk being censored by the G-L Mullahs? Take your idea to the bathroom and flush it down the toilet. Since you're the self appointed APRC spokesman on the L, what do you expect, when you deliberately and selfishly responded to Jarjusey's statement on the unacceptable and continual depreciation of the Dalasi since the illegal military putsch of July 22, 1994. Be a man and back yourself up with FACTS, not FAIRY TALE Allah's bank economics/accounting. Just like you and I, many of us on the L, remembered the although corrupt, but, good old days [pre Yahya Jammeh and his bankrupt and killer machinery] of prosperous lot and restless many, compared to the dire straits Gambia and Gambians are cornered in at this moment. I will respect you, if, for one time only, stop regurgitating or posting to the L, the useful and necessary lies, meant to elude common interest and pacify the general Gambian public. Just like you and I, even though we differed in principles and focus, the average Gambian has COMMON SENSE and are ordained with the capacity to see through deceit and smeared propaganda, meant to marginalize and reducing them to apathy, fear and slow death. It's true, that the EMPEROR DOESN'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON AND DOESN'T LIKE TO BE TOLD THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON...IN LAYMAN'S TERM, HE'S NAKED. As Dr. Saine's Report on the Gambia clearly but diplomatically portrays the bankrupt and Yahyaless leadership, another friend that just returned from Gambia, paints a gloom and doom scenario waiting to happen. The clear and present danger in Gambia, is the undeniable fact that, the nation revolves around Yahya and Yahya Jammeh only. What if he drops dead tomorrow, who will fill in the vacuum, especially that of APRC? VP Saidy, with the army boys breathing down her neck, another coup, Jawara [for reconciliation], or a new generation of focused leadership, like independent candidate[s] of the caliber of Pa Sallah Jeng? With the illegal and criminal auctioning of prime real estate to foreign domains, to cover up the cash strap economy, while denying the same to locals, is beyond comprehension. Thank God, the USA and EU sensed the looming danger and mindset of Yahya Jammeh, hence the change in approach from hands-off policies, to proactive engagement. An overnight-Gambian millionaire, Yahya, through Libya, Sierra Leone/Liberia/Cassamance..MERCHANTS OF MISERY [blood diamonds, supplying arms and armament to mercenaries], Taiwan, change the course of Gambian politics and history. At least, the opposition in Taiwan, got an earful from this movement and other concerned Gambians, to forced a change in the way bilateral aid/bribe is doled to Gambia, not through Yahya or AFPRC/APRC. Don't these petitions and exposes work? It's not a hatred of Yahya Jammeh per se, but checks and balances, stupid. Instead of waiting for an annual US State Dept. or HR Report, Gambian's will from now on, compile their own. Hopefully, GambiaPost and Gambia-l will participate in this noble professional and independent cause. Ams RHEINHOLD NEIHBOUR: Rationality, belongs to the cool observer, but because of the stupidity of the average man, he follows not reason but faith. This naive faith, requires a bludgeon of unnecessary illusion and emotionally potent oversimplification, which are required by the myth-maker. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
