Mr Sidibeh & Dr Saine,
I notice your enquiry vis-a-vis the London Briefings and the conspicuous
absence of the PDOIS, as Sidibeh puts it.
Well, all the political opposition were officially contacted by the mov't and
all responded save the PDOIS.The Chair of the mov't, Mr James Bahoum, had
made it a personal crusade to get all the players involved in the political
opposition to convene at the London Briefings.
Similarly, when we petitioned the political opposition earlier on a possible
coalescing of the opposition to fight a common enemy, we had similar results.
The only notice i saw served by the PDOIS on that score, was a very ambiguous
attributed statement in the local press by Halifa Sallah, who is their
spokesman. Now, i can only speculate the ambivalence of PDOIS towards what
the mov't has been engaged in to date and its long term objectives. I hope
Halifa will seize the occasion to state what their reservations, if any, are
about our proposals so far and long term objectives.
Let me re-state for the record that the mov't is non-partisan - a broad
church of Gambians of all walks of life and only interested in working hand
in hand with all democratic forces to bring sanity back to the Gambia. The
mov't doesn't favour any group or party over another and is open to
membership to anyone who has the interest to work for the restoration of
decency to our beloved country, the Gambia.
Warm regards,
Hamjatta - Kanteh
