JDAM, I have read and understood your anxieties about Jawara and our friend
Chongan. Might I suggest that because you admit diffused gore and graffignette
during the Jawara and PPP government, and that you admit the inevitability of a
forced overthrow at the time, acts of gallantry from within that same
graffignette must be commended on their particular merits. I understand that you
query the sanctity of resistance and the discrete legality of a forced overthrow
of an elected government. I merely encourage you to consider that in states of
diffused indifference, gallantry would be a rare attribute, particularly coming
from one of the actors of a "status quo ante".
You will agree that the national conversation that accrued extant
decrepitude is as intractable as the diffuse number of culprits thereto. It is
out of a vortex of decrepitude and general malaise that National heroes emerge.
No matter their color. If I agree with you on the repulsive nature of the
diffuse (your charactrerization) decrepitude of the Jawara government, will you
consider encouraging singular acts of gallantry, no matter how benign? Please
refer to the Jasmine Revolution. I do remind you that apparent over-running of
CHongan and his men on July 22nd, 1994, need not have meant the total success of
the violent overthrow of the Jawara government. I understand that you are not
suggesting that a forceful overthrow of elected decrepitude is malignant in
itself. We can save that for another conversation. Another time.
I respect your opinion on Jawara and Chongan. I do suggest that it is
malignantly inflexible. I will attempt to reason with you. Off-maelstrom.
Haruna. I hope you haven't succeeded in melting Karim. On Joe Joe, I agree
with you, the man is made of resistant stock. Do not therefore mistake wanton
resistance for integrity of character. I think that is your extant beef with
Chongan. Yes you need to say more about Giuseppe. May God bless you. Its good to
hear you again nonetheless. I think I know how to bring you back here when
GIuseppe kidnaps you again.

Please see my response to Karim and lemme know if you require an
expended version of my views
As to Joe Sambou, and despite never meeting him, the man is
high grade character and integrity
through and through. Need I say more?

JDAM, I want you and Chongan to
call each other and hash things out. My affinity for Jawara's era has
nothing to do with Chongan. Like Jawara, Chongan is a National hero to
some Gambians. I admit he cannot be a National hero to every Gambian
because we each have our perspectives of his term at the security
department and what he may have done to fend off Yahya's uncouth band
of idiots.
I'll tell you what, If enTreaty between you and
Chongan includes the revision of certain statements and perceptions
from Chongan's book, I will lobby for a revised edition. Where have
you been anyway? Joe Joe and I have been missing you here. I will call
you to see if I can discern your anxieties about Chongan and see how I
can ventilate those with Chongan. I think my work for 2011 is to have
JDAM and Chongan reunite.
I admit Jawara and Chongan had some
debilitating deficiencies but all National heroes have deficiencies.
National heroes generally are best known for their gallantries
variously, not their deficiencies. If we assume that all citizens of
Gambia have deficiencies variously, then we begin to appreciate those
who seek to break from the deficient pack to demonstrate glimpses of
gallantry. It is by celebrating relative gallantries that we elevate
the consciences of a critical mass.
Haruna. I am not holding brief for Jawara and or Chongan JDAM.
Infact I don't know either very well. I am only conveying the view of
some of our fellow citizens. If you and Joe Joe can be bosom bodies, I
see no reason why You and Chongan couldn't be twin National heroes and
the best of coleagues. Here are two great people who can't stand each
other. Surely there must be a misunderstanding
somewhere.
