Coach, I am very disappointed in you. What do you mean by "I find it quite rediculous that instead of concentrating on the horrendous crime committed by Jammeh on innocent Gambians, some people like Haruna are trying to discredit the work of those who tried to fight this injustice. But again, this nothing new coming from Haruna." Could the same comment be directed to Halifa? Do you not see the enormous opportunities squandered in this affair if common relief were the desire??????????? You guys have blinders on but the sooner we critique our saviours, the more efficient we will be in dispensing with Yahya's criminalities. You guys amaze me. You could be looking at the solution for your myriad life problems and you choose to gloss over it for sycophancy sakes. With this attitude, it is no wonder Yahya continues to play with Gambians. Can you at least pause Pasamba and consider what I'm saying? You can speak with Halifa in private and share ideas with him but don't close your eyes to his spectacular error in judgement. What you ought to do is encourage him to regroup and begin right. It is still not too late to be redone right. The crime of abducting and poisoning Gambians, illegal arrest and detention of Halifa, and the denial of access to Halifa while illegally detained, are all complete. Consider this: The freeing of Halifa and subsequent dropping of all "erroneous" charges against him - Is this the solution of the high crime of Abduction and Mass poisoning of Gambians????? Think - Peopl e - Think!!! Haruna. I am confident even Halifa does not think he achieved common relief from his singular demarche. I bet if he could do it all over again, he would do it differently. We must all be honest with each other and give wise counsel where needed. What if we did not have Halifa to "sacrifice his freedom for us". Can you think of solutions to your problems then?????? What is wrong with you people? I don't think you serve Halifa right. What he has worked for all his life is to enable you and me to think for ourselves. That does not mean he is infallible or beyond reproach. In fact if I know the man, he cherishes sober challenge. The problem here was not Halifa the man. The problem was one of method. That method happened to have been urged, almost forced upon the man. Don't get me wrong, Halifa is a magnanimous and erudite human being. Here we are talking about Gambia and Gambians. It is no wonder you rank and file cannot yield PDOIS any more electoral fortunes. You leave all idea generation and execution to Halifa. That is a heavy burden for one man to shoulder. At least he would welcome some assistance sometimes. And if he does not, he is in the wrong business. The method could have been so grand and circumspect that we would have been talking about something else today possibly with Yahya apologising and or making amends. Do you people ever look beyond today????? What would have been wrong with PDOIS, PPP, and NDAM deliberating for two hours and coming out with=2 0a more comprehensive response. That would not have taken anything away from Halifa's singular gravitasse. It would probably have augmented it. Would it have been a crime to solicit an emergency adhoc meeting of UDP/NRP and NADD? (adhoc means for the witch-hunting saga, not coalitions and circumstance). Don't you see how this looks so disingenuously PDOIS for PDOIS, NADD notwithstanding? How would the partners in coalition feel when Halifa keeps taking unilateral and singular decisions on such grave national matters? What would be wrong with seeking the company of some APRC, religious, and community leaders and their input in fashioning a response? Anyway Pasamba I know you will never like anything I say if it seems to run counter to Halifa's decisions. And contrary to what some of you think, I actually hold Halifa in high esteem. I add value to Halifa not keep him from growing. That is the difference between Haruna and those who worship Halifa for nought. My admiration for Halifa must be for Gambia's sakes, not Halifa's or mine. All of you need to take a cold friggin shower and drink some of Yahya's "concoction" (Poison). Kubejara my foot. Don't piss me off Coach. Just friggin talk to Halifa. With sobriety. Haruna. -----Original Message----- From: pasamba jow <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Tue, 5 May 2009 1:07 pm Subject: Re: Haruna Regarding your pre-occupation with Halifa's challenge to the witch hunting escapade Jabou, Bamba Laye and Malang, Please do not=2 0waste your time with this deliberate attempt of distortion by Haruna.

They're ent on "skinning the goat" notwithstanding the exponential risk of efacing their dignity within the greater Gambian community. They will ail miserably! Haruna: I see you have tried enough to drag me into this exchange but hanks to my esteemed brothers and sister Jabou; I will insist on sking you this: Are you ignorant or engaged in deliberate distortion nd deceit? You don't have to answer, just keep on chewing on the cord nd dragging your sidekicks along. We'll catch you on your way down. -Laye On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 11:44 AM, malang darbo <[log in to unmask]> rote: Sister Jabou, This is precisely what bothers me about Haruna and Suntus' line of questioning and it makes me wonder whether we Gambians are really oncerned about the social malady we are afflicted with. Haruna is too ntelligent to have missed the focus, I don't believe that. It looks his actions re a deliberate attempt to shift focus and that by extension makes him itlers' enabler. Don't you think I would be lying if I tell him would do different or ny better than Halifa if in his shoes? I have been on this forum for over yrs since September 1999, thanks to Hamjata, and have not contributed in any discussions, be it of greater frenzy (football), or grave national oncern (abductions and attempted murders). Would I not be lying if I even emotely suggest to do any different or better on this pristine brand of fascist practice?  Hitler would have disagreed with this new brand of fascist practice as obtained in the Gambia. Gentile misses the definition in his ten points on fascism. In all fairness Halifa must be commended for the bold steps he has aken. I suppose Haruna's focus would earn much merit if directed against our indifferent shepherds of God's flock who have not made any public condemnations of this act of degeneracy.    Perhaps I read it rongly but I think I read of one of the Imams trying to absolve the Fuhrer and ang of this practice of perversion, and this seem to have gone unnoticed ev en on this forum. Perhaps others may argue that the Imams are not on our public pay roll o must be excused for their negligence of duty to the flock. How about a national representative in our policy making house, financed by our tax payers, only to spew the junk that witchcraft was crime because it was in the English dictionary? I want to commend the journalist that captured his statement, for it reveals a national malady at its height.  This is journalism at its best - exposition of fraudsters, and fiction in ur public space without being arrogant. Brother Haruna, you can do a lot more than fixation on Halifa's ourageous stance against the tide of perversion and I certainly would be lying o even remotely suggest that I would do any different in his shoe.
