Burama,FYI: The latest on Burkina Faso... If anybody told you a month ago that Campaore will be history and Burkina Faso will have an opportunity to rebuild itself you wouldn't have believed it... Certainly Compaore has been in power far longer than Jammeh 27 years. So when people talk about optimism and fighting everyday for change this is what we are talking about... Nothing absolutely nothing is guarantee in this world... As they say if you praying pray as if that is your last prayer, if you living live as you will never die... This is the cross road we are on... Making any society a functional democracy is as much a dream as me hoping and fighting for Jammeh to fall TODAY!!!Thanks

Your question: "have you ever suggest to those busy trying for almost 20 years to put the opposition together for another election that Yahya is calling shots in Banjul? "
My answer: Yes, way back in 1995. First we warned them not to participate in elections with Yahya on the ballot. For that will effectively legitimize his tenure and they did not heed! Then we asked them to come together as a unified group (NADD), they did not heed. Now what do I say to them? Nothing! It is their fight not mine.
You see this democracy we all cherish in the United States was only instituted AFTER they forced Her Majesty's British empire to reluctantly give-up. And that was not done through pontification or academic niceties either.

It is not be about what you or I prefer, it is what the situation demands. The Gambia under Jammeh is nothing new in this world, from the "immortal" Pharoah in the people of the book to infamous mortals like Pinochet, Idi Amin, Bokassa, Samuel Doe, Mobutu, Saikou Toure, Saddam, Qadafi and now Campoare. All comes down to man consumed by urge to be alpha-dog among their peers. I am not a psycho-analyst but these people can hardly contained themselves when challenged. And history has taught us that none of these chaps wake up in morning and say they give-up or retire. In fact the contrary is true. To them each day is consumed by what can they do to last even longer, first making sure they "newlal" their hair as gray suggests mortality. In addition to maintaining their youthful image, they want to us to perceive them as daring machos who will bring down the sky if provoked! And they mean that too. Those infected by this power bug can not safe themselves, and literally have to be subdued!
Subdue does not necessarily mean we must go to war. We were told the Pharoah was so powerful that the Almighty God had to be directly involved in his subdue! Our most recent mortals had to be wrestled, sometimes forcefully. The trouble is even in the dog world, a deposed alpha-dog is at best kicked out of the pack and often left to die a miserable death! Unlike you and I who do not live the life of alpha-dog, these guys know exactly what it means to lose and as such will do everything in their power to prolong their tenure! The fact is the longer these folks stay in control the more damage they do themselves, the country and people they claim to love.
As to responding to you question on "how do we subdue the knife guy (Yahya) .."? The people of the book taught us that even the Almighty God conspired against the Pharoah by hiding from him the identity of "boy" (Musa) or his methods, whose destiny would be to end his rule. In other words, such methods are best discussed in backrooms and not chat rooms!

Some will argue that Mr. Jammeh's hold on the Gambia is no different from a lone guy holding hostage a bus load of passengers. It's all about "hedging one's bet". When life is threatened some prefer to "play dead" or "surrender the cash box" so to speak until they are sure what the future holds. Yes we can blame the "enablers", "collaborators" or the Almighty God who created mankind that raised the knife-wielding thug? Most people will want to first subdue the knife wielding maniac, " jump on the guy when the chance is right" before putting in place controls to avoid another incident.

To answer your question at the end, this is pure poppycock to put it mildly, as long as Mr. Jammeh calls the shots in Banjul! The Gambia's problem is not about lack of smart people, or lack of good ideas or good laws. The problem is twenty years ago someone decided to take the government BY FORCE!! During these years he removed long-term civil servants at will and without compensation for their service, incarcerated citizens for refusing to give up their properties and businesses, executed military officers for "conspiring against him" without the right to a fair trial, and even denied the remains of opponents to be interred in the Gambia. Go read the current constitution and tell me where such acts are condone.
Now how do you re-write the constitution, create environment and mechanisms to uphold the constitution when Mr. Jammeh is calling the shots in Banjul? Really?

- free the constitution of matters are should be legislated such as parastatal divesture
- limit the role of the presidency to half a page (font 11) and the whole constitution 25 pages or less
- etc
2) Create environment and mechanisms to uphold and defend the constitution. This is difficult than writing one. This is where we have always failed. Our constitution as is not terrible but the adherence is almost 100% none existence. To ensure such will not be a one off activity but multiple level and task efforts.
3) Rule of law the dictator of everything state
4) Due process of law dictator of everything state
5) Maintenance of basic social data for inform decision making and accountability
6) Capacity building – a people can’t sustain democracy if they do not acquire the requisite capacity to live a life of a democrat
Numbers 2 is the most difficult task here. Numbers 6 is the most important and is only possible with a tangible republican environment.
This is the(a) only common agenda. This is the only agenda that guaranteed equal opportunity Gambia for all of us.
Giving the current political and socioeconomic environment in The Gambia and our disjointed struggle – how do we do this?
The first essential step is communication…lets begin the discussion of what really matters.
