OK uncle SUntou, I wanna make sure I'm reading you right: Are you offended because PDOIS or PDOIS' officer/s did not respond to your questions? Is that why your independent view of PDOIS seems to be adverse as opposed to favourable to PDOIS?? I will be extremely disappointed in you if the answers to the above are YES. Haruna. Remember there is no need to present a historical review of your questions proper. Just give me two line/sentence answers. Please. Thank you in advance. MQJGDT. Darbo.

I respect the approach of Saihou and the way he presented his observations. I concluded that he is a mature politician and a well meaning brother. I respect that. For some merely talking about PDOIS or its leadership translate into anti-many things. There are clear issues at play, and for now, i will shelve discussions view divisive. It is sad that, politicians are held in status beyound the ordinary, i wonder where that will lead the plan unity talks? To make one point very clear. My observation on Halifa or PDOIS are based on independent thoughts. In mid-2007, I emailed PDOIS some questions concerning worries i had and wishing clarifications. To my surprise, no one responded to the questions. I also emailed UDP some question about the accusations of the party having tribalist issues. saihou responded to my email and further put me in touch with Mr Ebou Manneh, who expressed his opinion on all my questions. I later emailed Suwaibou of PDOIS some queries, he also never responded. We talked briefly on the phone and i explained that, i will send him an email, since the first email i sent to the official account was never responded to. I still has questions that i would want a member of the PDOIS executive responding to. If they don't see the need to express an opinion on my queries, i have every right to take an indedenpend view on issues of Gambian politics. Again, i will also hasten to add that, those who directed emails to me bordering on tirbal pride, i respect every single member of the Gambian family, and i also respect the rights for others to be what they want to be. what is clear and visible for all to see and know is that: No matter how fluent and tolerant one may be to other tribes, he/she has passonate love for a language or culture God choose him/her to be born into. No matter how much educated or religious one is, the desire to love and admire one's heritage, language or tribe is always there. This should not in itself cause any division or hate. Accusing others of being tribalist simply because they make an observation about a political leader belonging a to different tribe is both foulish and unnecessary. Unity talks. Let the talk begins. I hope Suntou's insignificant political views doesn't affect any thing. May God bless the Gambia. Amen.

Dear brothers, sisters and friends, in our honest view, Gambia is at a crossroads in which Gambians and friends of The Gambia are presented with choices. Despite our individual differences, political and otherwise, the death of our nation is taking place right before our eyes and the country is taken hostage by the present regime. Please, if we are serious in helping free the nation from this tyrant, we should depart from our current way of launching personal attacks against our opposition political leaders who are on the ground. Let's give them the support so that one day we will tell the world look we are mature people and we have made President Jammeh's regime a history. Again, we have an opportunity to save our country by engaging in serious give and take discussions among ourselves and leaders at the workplaces, restaurants, forums, homes and so fort to effect peaceful democratic change. Let's not forget that Mr.Jammeh has unleashed his hired pen brigades to join us at any level and at any proposed venue for unity discussions that we are headed for another futile result. Please, we must not give in to a gang of scoundrels who make their living at the expense of our people by supporting a ruthless regime that depends on violence to keep it in power. I would end by thanking Mr. Suntou Touray and Mr. Mathew Jallow, after speaking to them this evening pertaining to serious and urgent issues in the country, we all agreed that we should move on promote unity and open new pages to sound this alarm to our political leadership to get its act together in order to coordinate a clear, coherent and unified alternative vision to the Jammeh's regime.
