However much I do not share their political belief, the current exchange of words between those who support Lamin waa Juwara and those who support Ousainou Darboe is really unhealthy. The tone and language is definitely they defending their respective possitions is very unbecoming of political stalwarts of their calibre. It is becoming increasingly difficult to understand wose possition to support. You have Waa Juwara accusing Darboe of lying to the people, being unaccountable, a tax evader, incompetent, untransparent and what not. On ther other hand, Darboe's supporters are calling for his expulsion from the party and accusing him of being power hungry, confrontational, a drunk, indesciplined, lack of respect, self-imposing etc, etc. In my honest opinion, though I do not support the UDP and is very unlikely that I ever will, I sincerely hope that common sense should prevail. Waa ought to leave the party or try to address his concerns within the party. Some of what is going on is bordering on pettiness. Both The Point and Observer newspapers are carrying some very damning indictments of each of these leaders and it seems that the war of words is becoming stronger by the day.
