Dear Mr. Kujabi:
You must not be embarrassed by your Jola heritage because Jammeh is one,
and acts so recklessly. Most Jolas I know are hard-working,and
peace-loving. The Jolas like the Manjagos have traditionally been
peoples who practiced "true democracy" as power was never concentrated
in one person. Power was diffused and non-hierarchical, at least for
the men.
Jammeh has used his Jola heritage, like he uses religion, blame and
scapegoating to protect his own political/economic interests. Do not
have Jammeh undermine your self-esteem. Work toward his removal.
Abdoulaye
