Suntou -
Here again you leave your
readers wondering and guessing as to who this mighty force might be. The
opposition parties in the Gambia are not that many. I see nothing wrong as far
as politics is concerned in reaching out to other parties supporters, the UDP
included, in an effort to convince them to support some other parties who think
they need to add their numbers, as long as such is done in a way that is
politically mature. Isn't that why it is called politics? Somebody help me! Who
is it? GMC? PDOIS? PPP? NRP? Henry Gomez (I don't know his party name)? You
should tell us who it is.
For the UDP to keep its
constituency intact, some of the benchers currently hibernating need to be
engaged. That is why you guys need the karambas, the Saihous, Pa Saihous,
Ebrima Dibba, etc...The little fight here about Yaya Jallow the last time was a
turn off.
Just between me and you,
you have a legitimate concern to regroup those escaping your way. It shows the
need to unite and inspire. That way of your politics I certainly like.
I am once again quite
saddened by the arrest of the UDP's youth supporters and I wholeheartedly offer
my respect and solidarity with the UDP on this matter, like the many of our
other citizens in similar predicaments. I think the continued persecution of
UDP in Gambia's criminal court is certainly a target on the party. Sooner or
later, Darboe, the UDP and concerned citizens must step up and say enough with
the nonsense. In as much we believe in a legal system, these courts under
Jammeh will not give you justice. It is within rights to protest with any
capability at your disposal.
Just like I shared about
PDOIS' Halifa, Sidia and Uncle Sam taking a back seat (in the back ground) to
let the younger ones in the party steer the frontline, I am suggesting the same
to Darboe. In my opinion, it is time for him to pass the leadership baton to
someone within the party, so he stays as an advisor with his wealth of legal
knowledge within the background. Leadership in my view is not only holding the
frontline. The best leader is the one that leads from behind, as demonstrated by
Madiba (Gainako South Africa).
Thanks for sharing.

Subject: [G_L] UDP Diaspora Conference Call 9pm U.K time and 4pm Eastern Time today
To: [log in to unmask]
UDP Diaspora members are cordially invited to a conference call today as a continuation to our last night meeting. Please all be on time. Our usual phone number and code will be use ( 001 712-432-0075 code 199147#), those on skype, can enter through the usual skype entry. If you don't know, private mail me for details. UDP members are also notified that, our 14 youths members were presented to court on flimsy charges, we need to stand with them and their families. But more importantly, continue the dialogue we have been engaging in.
There are elements within even the opposition who are targeting UDP members and telling them to switch allegiances with promises of money and other benefits. This has been an ongoing attack by the ruling party, but for such targeting to be coming from partner opposition parties is alarming and this individuals are those the UDP open it's doors to in working as partners to end the dictatorships. The UDP Diaspora is aware of meetings currently organise in U.K where UDP members are invited to join certain parties, in as much as this is a legitimate political maneuvering, we are alerting our members, that, no opposition party in the Gambia has more support, base or outreach than us, hence, it is a futile exercise for certain opposition leaders to betray our closer relationships by covertly attempting to use our association with them as a means to infiltrate and then approach UDP supporters.
What is important for UDP members is continue sharing ideas, standing with leaders on the ground, from youth leaders, senior executive, women wing and regional coordinators. These people are continuing spreading the need for wider awareness on the unending madness taking place daily. As a party, we cannot but work with those we share the greater agenda with, of curbing the oppressive and suppressive political climate that is now a norm. No Gambian is immune to those state of affairs, hence, we need to act with honesty, integrity and as brothers, anything else, is a futile exercise.
Be on time guys.
Suntou
UDP U.K Coordinator
