Jabou,

I do understand you very well and i am not disputing what you wrote or say. What i was trying to get at is that you people should have controlled over this issue not the issue controlling you guys. I don't usually enaged myself in this kind of discussion for professional, personal and political reasons. This was why i was so dissapointed that this is coming from people i highly respected. I don't believe that you people are tribalist either but it is just a communication breakdown that could have been avoided.

We should be able to discuss issues maturely. I am not pointing blame on anyone, all i am saying is that we can engaged in these kinds of exchanges. Yes, Joe has no right to go that far even when provoked, we are talking about change in the Gambia. For me the personal is political. I do hope that Joe will appologise and we open a new page again. I guess Joe knows that you can be accused and have the right to defend yourself professionally.

When i was reading the mail, i could not stop asking myself are these people serious when they talk about change in Gambia.  I had to stop reading and delete all the mail from my inbox and write to you people because it was depressing.

I am not talking as a list manager but as a concern Gambian desparately searching for peace.

 

The Struggle Continues!!
