Yero
I will depart a bit on the Dr Saine review. It is human folly to make
errors of judgement, some calculated, others accidental. Dr Janneh's error
in joining Jammeh is well argued and elaborately written about. In the
stage of the game we find ourselves in, his efforts are commendable today
than, Dr Saine regurgitating what has been said over and over.
The review is not radical neither unexpected. The case at hand seems to be
focusing on the person of Dr Janneh and his mistakes...Dr Janneh paid the
ultimate price for that. He was imprison for a long period and went through
a painful ordeal, I belief that is a reconpence for giving Jammeh the
benefit of the doubt. Many in his place would have kept quiet and
has continued to do so.
Dr Saine's review of Editor Mbai's book was more interesting if you ask me.
That book is nearly impossible to review. I started to read it, but
couldn't go anywhere. Hence when I saw Dr Saine's review of it, I was
flabbergasted to be honest. Dr Janneh's continued efforts should be
encouraged and others too trying to formulate agendas and organisations
that can create formidable fighting point. The intellectual battles will be
fought, but they are more about clashes of egos to those that will yield
meaningful headway.

Thanks
