Hi Haruna! I am still where you left me when we had similar political sympathies. Remember the time Modou Mboge, Pa Samba, Buharry and others were labelled "programmed fanatics" for sharing a certain political view? Well, I have not seen any reason to change views. If that day comes, it would not be manifested through sending material from GRTS or taking pictures of actual infrastructural changes. Haruna, you know I would not be afraid to declare my support for and exercise my fundamental right through the support of any political party be it APRC, UDP or any other. In fact, I would not even have to worry because I know you would help defend and protect my fundamental right to join or support any political party of my choosing not because of your position as the Executive Director of Global Democracy Project but because of the true democrat you are. Thanks and have a good day. Buharry. ----Original Message---- From: [log in to unmask] Date: 2010-04-11 4:09 To: <[log in to unmask]> Subj: Re: I bring you Ndokeh's editorial on former President Sir Dawda Jawara.

Just to add that Ndokeh's editorial deals with Hon. Jawara the citizen. fter the coup relieved him of duties as President of Gambia. Sir Dawda ecame our fellow citizen after Yahya became President. Therefore what ir Dawda did after the coup d'etat is Sir Dawda's purview. We may hope or sobriety in his decisions then but he is not accountable to Gambian itizens for what he does in his private life. It is unconscionable to ind Sir Dawda guilty for aversion against Gambia and Gambians in his rivate demarche. Otherwise, I acknowledge Ndokeh's anxieties and chagrins variously. I will purchase 5 copies of the book Kairaba. As is traditional with e, I will gift 4 of them and keep one for myself. Allez people. Haruna. Gambia: Editorial: Kairaba Jawara Is On The Wrong Side Of History Editorial: Kairaba Jawara Is On The Wrong Side Of History Saturday April 10th would witnessed the launching of a book authored by eposed President Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara?a former statesman who is on he wrong side of history. Kairaba Jawara departed from the much alked about ?strong democratic ideals, tenets, and values? he urtured in The Gambia, and across the region, following his move to bandon his colleagues in the struggle for the restoration of democracy n that impoverished West African country for his own selfish nterest. He returns home under the disguised of so called amnesty? nly to compromise all the principles he stood for over the years. awara the ?born again? is trying to rewrite history. hen President Jammeh initiated the idea of extending an amnesty to ormer President Jawara, the average Gambia thought that this was going o be an opportune moment for Jawara to prevail on Mr. Jammeh to onsider including his former colleagues such as Bakary Bunja Darboe, aikou Sabally, Sara Jangha, Alkali James Gaye, Kebba Jallow, and ther PPP exiles overseas on the list of those to be pardoned, but that as too much for Jawara. Mr. Jawara was only concerned about his ersonal interest, and that of his immediate family. He accepted Jammeh? invitation to return home without bothering to consult his former olleagues. aving faced possible foreclosure in the UK, amidst financial ncertainty, Jawara was nearly evicted from his London Home. He could ot pay for his mortgage. Jawara?s house was later seized, and sold to rospective buyers. r. Jammeh was privy to the old man?s plight in the UK, and decided to ntervene to save Jawara from being thrown out from his repossessed ondon Home. This was a commendable move on the side of Jammeh to xtend a helping hand to a suffering former head of state. espite all the atrocities associated with Jammeh, we believe that he layed a pivotal role in ensuring that Jawara was not placed on welfare ousing program in a former colony. awara has launched all kinds of campaign in the past to disrupt the ctivities of the former junta headed by Jammeh. He even asked for estern intervention, but his repeated appeals were ignored. The West elieved that he Jawara overstayed, and was partly responsible for ambia?s political dilemma. t is only in The Gambia that a former exiled head of state would be llowed to return home without being jailed. There was probable, or easonable cause to prosecute Jawara for corruption, and abuse of ffice, because he was found liable by the Algali Commission. But espite all these, Jammeh decided to allocate him a monthly salary, ersonal guards, and a well furnished private residence in Fajara. e have high regards for Jawara, but it is our ardent belief that he is n the wrong side of history. Mr. Jawara?s, attempts to rewrite history ill not save him from his betrayal schemes against his former olleagues, peers, and admirers. You can?t have it on both ways. awara has betrayed all what he stood for over the years. His previous laims that he would not dine with army mutineers is a fat lie. Jawara s today serving as an adviser to President Jammeh. He is part, and arcel of the Jammeh administration. Don?t tell us about that so called olitical retirement. r. Jawara?s book mainly focuses on his past speeches as a First epublican President, and his political truce with the Jammeh dministration. He owes special gratitude to Amadou Samba, Abdoulie ujabi, and President Jammeh for facilitating his safe return home. r. Jawara?s book is being advertised on Amazon. We call on Gambians o purchase the book for the sake of posterity. Our kids need to read bout this old man. African Heads of State need to read about this haracter called Kairaba Jawara. Happy book launching to former resident Jawara. History will judge you harshly Sir. We rest our ase!
