Thanks kejau
I agreed with you, it seems that Umaru has been brained washed before comin to the Gambia.This is why diaspora gambians should show respect to our opposition leaders.Whatever ,they are trying to do their best with all the difficulties they face.
Am calling on diaspora gambians who always critisize our opposition leaders ,to come back home and join the oppositions or form their own political parties .We gambians at home are happy with the way our opposition leaders are handling the jammeh regime .The reason that gambians are not accepting ministerial post from jammeh government now, speaks a lot. Halifa and Ousainou are mature and well educated ,so they will not want to see gambia in chaos.The problem in our country is the role of the security institutions in the country (GNA,POLICE and NIA). If a mere students demonstration can turnout bloody like that ,then we all have to be careful ,especially when the incumbent always talks about blood .

Thanks Karim,
Umaro calling his heavily prejudiced interviews as research, is ridiculous at least. He does not even care or bother to know who the PDOIS party leader is, or talk to Sidia Jatta. This Fofana guy came to Banjul with a predetermined mindset that we Gambians are not capable of establishing or sustaining democracy! As his reference to Jawara and Jammeh's 'hegemonies'.
Constructive criticism are welcomed but not ill research, fact ignoring, opinionated half truths.

Dear Mr Daboe,
Thank you very much sir for your email. As you may have noticed from my auto reply I am on vacation but am taking time off to quickly respond to your email.
As you may see from the email chain below, I wrote to you on 22 August just a day after speaking to you on the phone. You replied almost two weeks later even though I had stressed to you in that telephone conversation that a quick response to the questions was required because of the short time line for my research. Frankly if you had done so even a week later, it could still have made it into the magazine which was running far behind time. And the fact that you didn't even acknowledge receipt of the email to give you some
time, did not help either and made it apparent, at least up to then, that you did not wish to reply to it.
In my reply to your response, which like I say came almost two weeks late, I did make it clear to you that it was far too late for the magazine but that I would make a passing reference to it in my radio report on the issue which I did and you can still listen to that on the BBC website.
The article in question did not cause any undue harm to anyone as it clearly did not set out to do that, and if only you had got in touch with me in good time, this would have been avoided.
I hope we avoid a repeat of this in the future.
All the best Sir.
Hello Mr. Fofana,
I read with dismay that I "refused to comment via email" whilst I was out of the country on vacation. I would have expected that you would state that at the time of going to press you had not received a reply from me. Your email to me dated 4th September, 2009 in which you indicated that my reply came a little bit too late for the Focus on Africa Magazine article proves that I did not "refuse" to comment. In fact, you indicated that you will use some of my answers as quotes in your presentation on Gambia.
I hope in the future you will not rush to conclusions that paint a negative picture of interviewees.
I have copied a gentleman who saw your piece and commented on it in one of the Gambia fora.
Regards,
Ousainu Darboe
