Dear Baba & the GPU Executive,
I just meant to chip in and congratulate your whole executive for a job well done. Since I've been part of the GPU mailing list and attended most of the phone conferences, I’ve been privy to a lot about the GPU-USA. I like the open invitation extended to me, all the online outlets, and to people willing to step up to the plate to serve. I like the fact that after serving for one term, you (Baba) are ready to allow others to come on board. This will help avoid power struggle in the leadership front, especially after the fiasco we were trapped in earlier on this year. Just like before, I personally cannot be part of the executive again, because of my busy life. If I am able to relinquish any part of the responsibilities I have in life currently, I would have been happy to do so. I know I have failed in another part to step up to serve -for the second time -after the first invitation during last elections. I just like to be part of any group doing any thing positive -simply as an ordinary person. I acknowledge both invitations and I commend you all for your steadfastness and sacrifice for the struggle.
It won't be fair on my part without thanking you all for the support in the form of press releases during the darkest hours of our history, notably regarding sister Fatou Jaw, Chief E. Manneh, the alleged witch craft spearheaded by Jammeh and the countless other human rights violations. These are all human rights violations I took very personal and serious. I will promise once again to work in sideline to any new executive and I will give any little support that is within my capability.
In the mean time, I enjoyed your company greatly…and I like the fact that, you never took personal any of my critique, except the fact that you insisted being called the "servant of the people" after being elected then. My view was only different from you because the constitution said you should be called the Secretary General. Besides, I understood the very humbleness you wanted to exercise.
Aluta Continua!
Long live the true patriots!!
Sincerely,
YJ

Hello Fellow Gambians,
We congratulate you on yet another anniversary of your August body.You have over the period showed resolve and conviction in exposing Human Rights violations in Gambia.As you conduct elections for a new leadership..we in London wish you a smooth and democratic transition.Indeed the situation in Gambia is deteriorating fast and all Gambians are called upon to set aside personal differences and acrimony in the face of a state-led onslaught on the rights of our people,.
We look forward to working with you and all Gambian organisations in the diaspora to transform our dear country into some modicum of sanity and good governance.
Best regards.
