Jatta Njie,
I can assure you Yanks is not affecting Ousainou's chances of becoming
President of Gambia OR NOT becoming President of Gambia. Yanks is defending the
honour of his parent against an uncouth moron.
Go back to sleep. Ousainou's political demarche for the people of Gambia
and his party goes on unabated, whether that leads him to become President or
not. The Presidency is not the overarching desire of such honourable men as
Ousainou, Hamat, OJ, Halifa, Hassan Musa, Waa, or Hon. Fatty.
Haruna.

Frankly,
I'm very disappointed that Yanks put up this animated attack against
Mr. Drammeh for his reference to lawyer Darbo as a coward.At this rate
you are coming across as one bad boy Uday Hussein on rehearsal. And I think
you are doing more damage at Mr. Darbo's chances of becoming
president than what you perceived Mr. Drammeh is doing.And I'm
urging Mr. Mballow to discourage that kind of tone
coming from an individual claiming to be an immediate family
member of lawyer Darbo. I urge Mr. Mballow to ask the family of lawyer Darbo
to refrain from validating the accusations that the Darbos
are untouchable.
Sincerely,
Lamin Jatta

Let the members of the L make their own judgement. He has confirm to the L
that his support and defence of Darboe is based on nepotism which is sad. He
is still attacking me personally. Thus this will be my last response to Yanks
until he grows up. About your expectation of Halifa and co taking on Jammeh
and removing him from power, I will respond separately not to you but the
members of the L.

guidelines. Drammeh initially advised that Ousainou should not be deemed to be
a coward for seeking sanctuary at the Senegalese High Commission but then not
not only did he, Drammeh, subsequently personally try to prosecute Ousainou he
ultimately went to the extent of sentencing Ousainou to life on the
'Island-of-no-return-from-cowardice'. Seriously, If Ousainou were a coward or
a selfish opportunist, he would have by now joined the APRC regime in some
capacity" By Bailo Jallow Bailo; you speak the language of the quran in
the above statement, i could not add anything more to it. Unfortunately, the
only person who is still oblivion to this fact is Mr Drammeh. As he
wondered why he was condemed for his blasphemy. Lord Devlin once said "
a rebel is
> right in thinking that he has a right to rebel
against society, but he was wrong to think that society would condone his
rebellion ". Mr Drammeh started his diatribe on 5 April 2009 on
the Gambia post. At first i did not want to read it or participate in it.
But the post was not enough for Mr Drammeh. So he brought it to the
Gambia L, who knows where else he was heading with it, if did hep him to put
sense in him, Fredomnewspaper, BBC, CNN. That was the reason for my
timely intervention, which was two weeks later on 17 April 2009.
Contrary to what Mr Drammeh struggled to allege, I did not start by
attacking him. I started by asking him to explain what was his yardstick
to confirm that Ousainou is a coward. He never bothered to
asnwer this. I tried to help him understand the rational behind Darboe's
actions. I even went as far as explaining to him that what
>
Ousainou did was not cowardice but that of a Lawyer exercising his
convention right, under the 1951 Geneva convention. However, just
as Saihou Mbalow, Haruna, Suntu, Ginny, and many others had tried and
failed, I had also failed to convince this man that Ousainou is
not a coward. However, to make matters worst and unlike his reactions to
others, this ballooney started fabricating stories about me being chased by
Major Bojang. That was very much uncalled for, then he wondered why i had to
go after his lineage. The simple truth is that Drammeh thinks he is a
clever man, but he is a fool! He claimed that Ousainou is a coward; I am
a coward, because i ran away from Major Bojang; Haruna is a coward, because he
wouldn't bother responding to his emails. So, he expected me to do,
what derided, as "the Darboe thing". This hero boy failed
to understand that what he was
> insinuating was an insult to
all Darboe's without realising. Yet he finds it offending that his
father was dragged into the banter. If
Drammeh only claimed to be a PDOIS, NADD, sympathiser, our exchanges
wouldn't have gone this far. Simply because, Drammeh, is not the
only Talibe of Halifa Sallah in this forum. However, his difference to
the rest is that they know their bounds whilst he doesn't. You can
support a party without insulting others. However, once you attack or
insult other people's party, you cannot expect them to condone your actions;
fact. Drammeh could have done a good job by just stating the fact that he
is a PDIOS supporter or even go further to praise Halifa, Sidia and Sam
as the power of trinity . Write books about their bravery and see if i
care! As far as I am concern, if Halifa, Sidia and Sam
are that
> brave, they would scold Yahya by the throat
and drag him out of State House. But they have not done that yet,
have they? So what's the fuss about their gallantry?
As for the actions of Dr Jaiteh, I do not wish to comment. I knew
Dr Jaiteh at Kotu Bojang's compound in Brikama, i do not think he would
remember me now, that's if its the same Dr Jaiteh. I had high regards for the
man then then and will continue to have that for him now, even if he
decides to exclude me from his national bantaba. I had
been excluded from the Gambia post, then Yusupha and
George reinstate me few months ago without my authorisation.
However, i still chose not to contribute on there beacuse their actions
are only akin to that of Yahya Jammeh. I hate censureship and
cannot see a moral justification for it. For that reason i commend all those
who stand against
> it here. I will go silent for now, but
will surely come back if i heard any more Lawyer Darboe diatribe.
I rest my case! Yanks Darboe The Darboe's don't run and
are not cowards, simple!!!!

> Members of the L know that my attacks on Darboe were not
personal at all and all I did is to talk about issues. My brother Musa Drammeh
won two elections for the PPP in 1987 and 1992 in Sandu. My cousin Chondi
Drammeh stood for election for the UDP in the 1997 parliamentary election and
lost. However much they are attacked I will not take it personally and I was
still opposed to the PPP even though Musa Drammeh was a parliamentary
secretary under the Jawara government. I oppose the APRC government even
though Susan Waffa-Ogoo who taught me English Language until I passed my
Common Entrance Examination was/is Secretary of state under Jammeh. My dad's
elder brother Alhagie Bineh Drammeh stood for the GPP in 1987 election.
Despite my relations with the above I will not react if they are attacked for
their policies. Despite Yankuba Darboe's relation with Darboe he should never
have
> reacted the way he does simply because Darboe is his
relative. I only attacked the action of Darboe. As matter of fact I would not
have come to this conclusion should Yankuba Darboe not started trading in
insults. I was not allowed to contribute to the L while Yankuba was allowed to
continuously call me a liar. Despite all these I refrain initially to respond
to Yankuba in the way he started. Yankuba went as far as insulting my Dad who
has never ran for office of any sort. Thus there was no need to attack my dad
on the grounds of "emotional reactionarism". Some in in L call me a PDOIS
supporter. Yankuba Darboe went as far as calling me an NIA. He even accused me
of being an APRC supporter. No no no I have never been an NIA never will and I
have never supported the APRC and never will. however my opposition to Jammeh
is not geared towards the hatred of his language grouping. It is geared
towards my opposition towards his policies. I still have a very

good relation with Susan Waffa-Ogoo despite our political difference. The last
time I was in The Gambia I even visited her home. As a matter of fact some of
Susan's friend thought that she was my mum.

while in the services of The Gambia Red Cross Society, was shot dead in
headquarters of The Gambia Red Cross Society. This was my friend and his name
is Omar Barrow. When I went to The Gambia in 2004 I visited his widow Awa
Sanneh. If there is anyone who should be angry I should be the angriest.
I lost a personal friend. My anger however will never be geared towards
the hatred of Jammeh's tribe but my opposition of his policies. This is
what principled people do. They act and they do not react. I believe in a
Gambia of Productive economy, I believe in a Gambia where labour is rewarded
and not mere the labour power being paid for. I believe in a Gambia where
every one should live in liberty dignity and prosperity. I believe in an
enlightened Gambia. I believe in the Gambia where Presidential monarchy is
demystified. I believe in The Gambia where

to exploitation, no to servitude, no to degradation, no to
cowardice, no to political bullying, no to dictatorship, no to megalomania, no
to tribalism, no to nepotism, no to opportunism and no to poverty. I

my life time of in the life time of my grand children this will happen.

> Members of the L we are all working
towards the common good of The Gambia. We will ever be true to The Gambia. It
is time that we start working for The Gambia. It is time we throw away the
vices of tribal sentiments and concentrate on the national interest. It is
time for honest leaders to emerge to at least to support the honest and brave
ones we have at the moment. In Sedia Jatta, Halifa Sallah and Sam Sarr we have
honest, brave and principled leaders and thus they should be supported despite
our sentiments.
