Hey everyone,
Overthrowing the old order requires a new order in its place right, and that takes discipline rather than exuberance. Individual power controlled chaos may be a contradiction in terms, but its part of the challenge we will be dealing with in-order to succeed, and from that successful result, way forward can be achieved. However, the more we surrender to the challenges on the unification of the people and therefore, their political awareness, the more we are failing to achieve our goals. Humbly, I think, UDP and NAD should try to resolve their differences by the mediation of strategic and well knowledgeable individuals for a stepping stone. I am of the feeling that both Darbo and Halifa sallah by now, knew the fact that, without unity there will be no prosperity for either of them to achieve their individual goals the prove of which is during the past elections when together they could have more seats than the division. If they both look back from the time they were
together and achieved victorious in the by-election, they will not fail to admit the power of unity.
I am of this believed that, there will be no future for a new political party in the Gambia without the reunification of these old players, because their meaning is not just external in the obvious influences but more internally, then again, Revolutionary coups will again attempt to overthrow faltering old guards on many levels and in numerous ways, but cannot refute their resistance. Therefore the way forward is uniting the old guards and convince them to consider the fact that, the power belong to the people and they will deliver those powers if they feel secured.
For-example; As we can see, part of the reason why people do not vote is lack of security, if the opposition is divided who will the people trust to for their right? If they are united, people might not sell their votes or stay from voting but to vote massively for them. Besides, how many people were arrested during the past election and what have the opposition did to help, and why can’t they? The answer is simple, disunity
Besides, in a more painfully and accurate scenario, our Titanic has already hit the iceberg and is rapidly taking on water below decks. Some passengers and crew have not yet been informed, while others simply refuse to believe that the glorious ship is sinking. Both ignorance and denial, however, will be swept away sooner than later, and a time of scrambling for the lifeboats will follow. The majority of passengers will not be pleased when they find out that there are no lifeboats for them, only for the privileged few in First Class HONESTY DEAK.
Paradoxically, the coming decade is also the best opportunity the opposition will get to begin cleaning up the mess they've made. The last 40 years have been like a drunken party that turned into a bar-room brawl. The coming years will be the morning after, the hangover to end all hangovers, and the shock of sobering up.
Time will seem to accelerate dramatically. Crises of survival will arise that require us to get on with the building of a one-Gambian, and do it right now, immediately without class struggling or tribal sentiment. The challenges will be pragmatic, not philosophical. We'll know what needs to be done. The question is whether we can collectively handle the will and the strength to accomplish the necessary tasks.
Edi
