Gambian elites, political and civil society activists must realize that we
have the power that cannot be found in bullets and guns, but one that is
embedded in our patriotism and sense of collective responsibility and pride
as citizens. We have the numbers and the resources that when invested
wisely cannot be matched by a tyrant who cannot compete on a level playing
field. Who relies on our divisions and or vulnerabilities to exploit us.
That power lies within each and every one of us, it is power that was
handed over to us with an abiding promise to our parents that we will never
abandon our nation and the most vulnerable in our society.

Gambia’s political salvation squarely lies not only in the hands of the
existing political class but in every citizen particularly the elites who
can afford more than three square meals a day. Our country who has nurtured
us, gave us the opportunities we enjoy today is dying a slow death; crying
for our intervention and history is watching us closely and we will all be
judged by our actions or better yet our in-actions and indifference to the
realities of our society.  When we fail to get involved we have no one to
blame but ourselves and when the next generation look back they will shake
their heads in shame that they have been left to fend for themselves and to
defend what belongs to others and not them...The question would be what
were our people thinking?
