Goro,
I did not for a minute think you were "PDOIS bashing". I understand where you are coming from and understand your frustrations.
Hopefully, the opposition will see the bigger picture and do the desirable and sensible thing of coming together for the greater good
of the Gambia.

> I was afraid I will come across as PDOIS bashing; far from it. I am just as frustrated with the circus as many out there. I shared here my frustration with UDP and Ouisainou's double talk and Daffeh assured me it is not their (Daffeh and UDP’s) problem that I have a problem with that. However, I will make my take known and I think I deserve it for my sanity.

Why should any of them set a condition on the people for them to come together? UDP can claim all the numbers they want, they have not been winning; that's the point! Ousainou flip flopped (sorry Haruna) so many times on this united front issue that it can make you feel dizzy trying to follow the flops. He did the same in 2006, so nothing new there. Now PDOIS Central Committee is taking over the pancake session. What are we to expect of these folks?

> It is absolutely clear what folks want from the opposition - hope and clear, united leadership - to see the back of Yaya. That is the immediate need for now, doctrines of governance, sovereignty and good citizenship will fall in place. Yaya have been indoctrinating Gambians for the past 17 years and the odds are stacking up as we go. He is teaching us how to hate each other. He is teaching us how to undermine each other. He is teaching us how to depend on him. He is teaching us how to be afraid of him. He is teaching us how not to unite against him. He has been doing a darn good job of all this. He has tyrannized Gambians so much so that we are getting afraid of our own shadows! He has an agenda for Gambians and it is working am afraid to say.
