Brother Elhadj,

This is the question of the century, WHY??
All of us grew up being taught, as well as hearing our parents tell us that
common sense, decency and the fear of God are indispensable commodities, and
so all of us grow up in Gambia believing  that these values abound not only
in all of us, but especially in our elders, and most specifically in those
who call themselves the guardians of our faith, the vicegerants of God's word.

Today in The Gambia, these very people have sold their souls to Yaya Jammeh,
and it is a sad day, and a very big awakening for all of us.
Prince Coker's statement about the evil among us is an accurate one. One good
thing that this regime has done is to help us to identify the evil element
amongst us.

Never before could anyone convince me that we have people  among us who have
the kind of character to help collaborate murder amd mayhem  among our
people, and then just carry on as if this is as natural as breathing air.

Or that we had religious leaders who should recognize evil and hypocrisy but
instead look the other way when Jammeh who holds his prayer beads in his left
hand, dashes out some cola nut money and funds to complete the building of a
house of worship for Allah (SWA) and other gifts from funds stolen from the
very people he is supposedly giving it to.

Perhaps these religious leaders serve another Allah that the muslim ummah
does not know about.Yes indeed, Yaya Jammeh has helped us to identify the
evil element amongst us.
