Dr. Janneh, That was a very good piece. Sure a lot of hearts have been changed towards Jammeh and some against Jammeh for one reason or the other. I have tried so much not to comment since you made your announcement on cyber and have since read "garuwaalehs" which are geared towards you, but you kept you guards up. You are not obligated to reason with anyone on this List your change of heart, but you still tried to. Calling the spade what it is only a saying on the List(so). You certainly do not need President Jammeh to survive. You have been in this country and CERTAINLY doing very well. On the other side of the coin, I do not think that some of those crying wolf when you made your political position public meant any adversity. Most of it is ignorance of politics and the ideal of its arts. I am convinced that you did not make this move to seek a position and I am convinced that joining the APRC will not in anyway mute you. Instead, I think it will make you more forceful and better at making sure that your points are well noted to the effect of making positive differences in the Gambia. I am convinced that if anything, your positions will be more fruitful now and more constructive. I am very well convinced that criticizing Jammeh and this government could be done in such a way that you can be better heard. Keep it up and continue to be yourself. Just do not hesitate to retract if at anytime you think or feel that you are compromising at the stake of the country's interests. And that I can assure you Jammeh himself will not appreciate. Ousman Jallow Bojang. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
