Wow,

Time can change... who thought Fankung Fankung (Cherno) would be the voice of reason in uniting the opposition?  Halifa and PDOIS better sharpen their pens because we ain't taking anything for granted anymore... 

Thanks Cherno may be you can finally be the Uniter behind all this. I thought you show exceptional calmness and attention during the Raleigh Conference. I mean I couldn't believe you were in the room but certainly your love for country came through...

regards

Demba

>> Thanks for clarifying that... in fact in my interview with the organizers of the London conference they clearly stated their conference was only meant to bring the groups in London together. Matter of fact it was put together on short notice while the Raleigh conference is being planned for several months.
>> The fact remains that Halifa's explanation of not attending is an attempt to justify him and his party's failure to answer to a call to dialogue. We have traveled this route before over and over... When a conference was organized in Atlanta in July 2007 in which Halifa was in attendance he advanced the same agenda; that the conference was putting the cart before the horse... that it was premature to organize such a conference in the Diaspora without coming to an agreement... 
>> This time around again, he excuses for PDOIS's failure to attend are just that excuses. How do you expect to come to a consensus without meeting? How do you expect a constituents as large as the Diaspora to come to a consensus before organizing a meeting for all constituents?
>> Is Halifa telling us that CONSENSUS is a precondition for him and PDOIS to attend a future conference in Norway or Sweden, Senegal or London? He he insinuating that the Diaspora must have a consensus on what? before they can organize a conference?
>> Is he insinuating that DA Jawo is politically inactive and as a result he doesn't have an opinion or say on what has transpired?
>> Gambians are witnessing the same repeated feet dragging by Halifa and PDOIS... Anything they don't seems to originate they don't want to be a part of... This is worrisome and counter productive...
>> This time around we will not sit idle and let these perfectionist leaders derail our efforts to bring the constituents together to discuss national issues... That is the call... bring people together without conditions to discuss the way forward for Gambia. What is not clear about that? What consensus do we need to organize a meeting.... 
>> We openly invite Halifa and Co to come to these conferences, to the airways away from their comfort zones of Foroyaa and PDOIS central committee to discuss matters with the country. Why are they afraid to face other constituents? Why are they worried about the arguments and the disagreements to be discussed openly... Are they more worried about their image than the future of the country?
