Demba

Why wait for my so called bullet point. If you are generous enough am sure you can provide Mr. Nyang my proposed plan. That's it. Send it to him if you are by a computer. Am not home and my computer is not on me.

I have asked you your plan but never got one. Am glad Mr. Nyang asked because that promised to bring out what i was not afforded. 

Equally Mr. Nyang and for that matter anyone can put out suggestions - that's a challenge I have always asked compatriots.

I am doing it for mere arguing shake but hopefully we can public discuss and noise reduce or move close to concrete actions

Thanks Nyang... I shall also wait for Burama's bullet points and will also add my bullet points for removing or causing the downfall of the Jammeh regime and laying down the foundation for a Democratic Gambia... These are difficult tasks but they are achievable... Burama please come up with updated ones as the one's you have been circulating has a lot of theory rather than practice... 

To your credit Burama may be we have now concluded the diagnosis part and we are moving to the solution as you call it... We are waiting... That makes me a more optimistic again!

Thanks!

I like your questions and I firmly believe asking either oneself and/or others hard/uncomfortable questions can only makes us better understand and prepare for the enormous challenge.

Am currently on the road, however I promised to give bullet points what I think we could do. I maybe right or wrong but i think within that approach lies our answer.

In addition let me say I already circulate these ideas.

Expect from me late tonight or tomorrow

Regards

Burama, please allow me to poke my nose into this discussion and see if I can provide answers to your questions of “How do we take out Yahya?” and “how do we make Gambia a functioning institutional democracy”, that so far seem not to garner the right answer or one that satisfies you.

I have been following your inputs in our advocacy and struggle for sanity in Banjul and I will confess that am always in awe at the high level stamina that you exhibit in dealing with these difficult issues. I salute you for that.

Considering your exchanges with Demba and LJD on this same topic, do you mind outlining in bullet points what steps or need to be done in order remove Yaya from office and also institutionalize democracy in the Gambia. I am asking this so as to help us be very clear at what we talking about so as t6o be able to contrast it with other options like united opposition front that LJ is banking on.

You have talked about the importance of garnering leverage in order to be able to force Yaya into loosening his grip on power and allow reform or something like. All that I just like others here, believe that only a combined opposition force can achieve that.

Your other argument dismissing the route to change through elections because Yaya being a referee – the IEC, and at the same time a player always leaves wondering what then are you calling for especially when you exclude violence.

Thank you for your attention.

Compatriots

Burama made public he’s too cowardly to demonstrate or confront Yahya in the streets of Banjul. Somewhere in the write-up below my colleague, Demba Baldeh also said he wouldn’t do it. 

This in itself is not material for anything except to say I and Demba cannot expect and/or demand of our citizens to confront Yahya as a solution.

What’s important though - How do we take out Yahya? Or if I may broaden that question - how do we make Gambia a functioning institutional democracy? We’re not going to fight him! Elections at this stage is not going to do it!

Please simply be practical with your answer. It don’t have to subscribe to it but let it be practical.

Burama,
