Standing Against Injustice:Review by Professor Saine
Good folks,
If you are like me, where you could not read all these books entirely or even partially, hanging onto reviews of experts will keep you up to date on some of these books.
Thanks Professor Saine for your continued reviews. These reviews are very enlightening. I don't know how you guys keep up with it. I can only guess it must be a lot of work. The online media Gainako especially appreciate your generosity and sharing spirit.
I congratulate Dr. Janneh for adding his memoir to Gambia's history. With due respect to him, it still leaves unanswered questions on why after all he decided to join the regime. To go and fight within was not only ill-advised, it also carries with it, "Guilt by association," especially after knowing the much about Jammeh's terror regime. Moreover, Dr. Janneh was already a professor in a political related discipline, an expectation to shape one's mind and country. Don't get me wrong. I champion the use of common sense and good judgment rather than making degrees a worshipping tool. I am just sharing that be that he is an educated person, it is hard to excuse him on the basis that he didn't know. I think history will find it hard to reconcile that part of it. It now lies wholly on Dr. Janneh to live with that stigma, something I believe his critics have valid points against.
I must equally be fair to him and some of his very disciplined associates that since his release, I admired his participation and continuing to fight alongside with us to root out the dictator.
Best for Ramadan,
Yero
