Really baffling the inconsistency of some people. They spend a lot of time shouting, huffing and puffing and exaggerating the spinelessness of the leaders of the established political parties on the ground in name of their God given democratic rights to voice their opinions however hackneyed these may be [Personally the political leaders on the ground are far braver and authentic than most of us staying far away from home pretending to be more concern than any living being about the goings on in the Gambia].These lot are ready to accept 'turn-coats and intellectual prostitutes' as our Mandelas and what not for some strange reasoning. Worrying! It seems one can go prostitute themselves to the tyrant Jammeh in the name of contributing their share to national development, then gets thrown out, get a couple of t-shirts and make attempts to distribute them to a handful of followers, get arrested and thrownto prison Waalla yai Jammbarr yeeh Jamm~yeeh.Now, is it a sin to state facts for posterity and not be tarred with assassinating the character of Professor Amadou Scattered Janneh and his likes. Men, what is wrong with stating facts?No wonder the messages about Jammeh's brutality are becoming more confused everyday, reason why many ignore the Gambian diaspora and their concerns.Koto Prince I await your next installment. The Wollofs saying Maag Maat Naa Baa Si Daakkaa is apt here. Keep them coming.Best,MbogeOn Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 3:58 AM, Demba Baldeh <[log in to unmask]> wrote:
Brother George,Let's just all agree that Dr. Janneh did F....up... And let's also agree that so many other Gambians did F- up before Jammeh and continue to F- up...while Jammeh is still in power... That is the reason our country is in such a disgraceful situation where people who cannot compete in a level playing field are left to run our nation...I am more concern about calling people out when it is convenient and muted when the smell is too close... We should probably come up with a list of all those who we think F-up and see where we end up as a nation...This is what yahya Jammeh recognizes and he continuous to humiliate our people and play that card...Demba (Baldeh)--On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 5:30 PM, George Sarr <[log in to unmask]> wrote:
See, if you can't explain something to a six year old chances are you don't understand it yourself. We have a Doctor who is among the most cited on issues APRC (Aimless People Ruining our Country) made a conscious decision to work for the devil, and got served proper by devil what's on menu, and so for people coming to his defense saying he made a mistake is absolute bullshit. There is a stark difference between mistake and fuckup. The Dr. Fucked up, and no amount of spin will change that. If you walk into my server room and trip a wire and bring this here Mighty Post down, I just made a big mistake, and I might slap you twice. But if you knowingly enter my server, and you see everything in its proper and you start pulling wires and doing crazy things, then you just fucked up, because you knew better. You will end up in jail, like Dr. Janneh. That simple. Let's stop defending the indefensible. Needless to say Dr. Janneh is not a for and is well capable of defending himself. I'm just not going to lie for him. I don't cut corners with the truth, friend or foe. Like I said, wahanteh degga I yuut. Mo nehh Yallah, as old and wise folks would say.

Demba, thanks for your thoughts. Am I correct to conclude that a more palatable turn-coat in Amadou is more important than those killed, tortured, maimed, or made to disappear by Yaya while Amadou was SOS and breaking bread with Yaya? You also being a Journalist, does it matter that Amadou was at the table when journalists were worst hit and did nothing to defend them? I am also assuming that you are fine with who Amadou started as, a Professor of Political Science and the Resident Expert on Jammeh, only to be a taker with eyes wide open. You are comfortable with his ethics, yes? Are you also of the opinion that had Amadou not fired that he would not have been with Yaya as I write? Lastly, this issue about Amadou is not about a comparison between Amadou to let's say a Uwaa, FJC, or any of those recycled material. It is about the opportunism that Amadou stands for. It is about a person who does not believe in anything but his personal gain. That is what took him to Gambia in the first place. What some call Amadou's sacrifice in staying after he was fired, the rest of Gambia saw other wise. Where was he to go, to the US, where he could not find the kind of employment he was looking for - Professorship, the reason Yaya became appealing?
Yes, Amadou is a Gambian and has a right to associate with whom ever, including Yaya. What he does not have a right to is to speak for Gambians without first coming to terms with his opportunism and it appears he has not lost a beat. One thing is certain, Amadou is going to be reminded who he is and will hear from some of us as long as he continues to be who he is - "a palatable turn-coat". I am noticing a line being slowly visible in the topic of Amadou and I think in the interest of our struggle, folks should volunteer any potential conflicts of interest. If folks want to come to Amadou's defense, they should not cherry pick what they want to present, but look at the sum total of the parts.

To: [log in to unmask]Hi Everyone,While it is not my intention to defend Dr. Scattred Janneh for whatever role he may have played in helping to prop up the Jammeh regime, but I do agree with some people that the very fact that he did not do as most others before him did, that is to stay mute and expect to be recycled when he was sacked, but instead he came out in the open to try and change the system means that he deserved some respect and commendation.We have seen how so many people who had been sacked and humiliated still not only kept so mute expecting to be recycled but some of them even went ahead to write letters to the president to renew their support and allegiance[The entire original message is not included.]"Be the change you want to see in the World"
