Krubally Thanks! I will GO with your problem although we can still better articulate it, In my view. I mean make a case for the broader lack of democracy which is not necessarily the making of Yahya. The same has been the case in the first republic in a lesser brutal manner Your solutions are problematic - Yahya should….. or Yahya must……. are probably our goals not the action. Yahya MUST BE COMPEL TO DO but HE WILL NEVER MAKE THAT FREE CHOICE! Hence, tell us what you think we should do to compel Yahya into the SHOULDs and/or MUSTs……. I also have reservation with your who should implement (INTERNATIONAL BODY)……..I thought it should be Gambians who seek the recognition and support of international partners. I don’t think with Putin, Assad and Mulah’s in Iran……the international is much worried about Yahya. Either way they are important partners for it to work. I’m also not sure if you articulate what you want to do should you be called upon by peers. This is not to put you in any spot………..but I find many making statements about things they or their love one’s will not take part. It appears where you going you can take on many roles should it be ask by your peers. I go along with the rest……………..again thanks Please let others share their view…………I must say last week or so Mr. Nyang also put out what he think is the best approach. Thanks guys!

In a sense he bullied the opposition from the start when he banned them. He began by threatening the masses with the illegal arrest, torture, false imprisonment, unexplained disappearances and rampant killings. This allowed him to enjoy the unfair majority in the house and government. While at it, he amended the constitution to favor his party/government. > > What do you think is/are the possible solution(s)? Please some practical actions!

Do you think we're just unfairly treating Yahya while he's doing a great job (what they call in The Gambia - he's bringing development) > The Gambia does have a political and human rights problem. The political playing ground is not level and the human right abuse is rampant which need to stop. > The people's confidence must be restored before we can move forward. Yaya like every leader has done some good.
