Mr. Touray,
 
I admire your affinity with PDOIS and your staunch defense of its regard. I  
acknowledge your submission that PDOIS seeks and receives its mandates from 
the  people it seeks to govern. This is indeed a good start in discernments. I 
look  forward to hearing more.
 
I am of the disposition that if PDOIS seeks its mandates from the people,  it 
necessarily holds the views of those people in high regard and ammends its  
programmes accordingly. It is possibly one 'people' who characterizes  
individuals communist. That is a travesty of adjectives. By its very nature,  
communism describes 
The sum total of manifestations and affects of programme.
 
To the extent communism is perspectives of programme, it cannot describe or  
qualify individuals. So the 'people', whoever he or she may be, is in severe  
error in judgement. PDOIS could be communist but the dirigeants  de PDOIS may 
be found wanting in yielding other perspective. You have  begun right. I hope 
you continue in the way of discernments.

It does not  sound funny when I hear some people equating PDOIS with 
Communism. I  wonder how they arrive at this conclusion. I have never heard 
any member  of PDOIS say they advocate for communism. I have never read 
any  publication of PDOIS which implies that the party advocates for 
communism.  Over a decade of public service and advocacy programs, not 
once have the  party acted in a manner that imply advocacy for communism.  
Could  someone tell us how they arrive at the conclusion that PDOIS is a  
communist party?????? Why do they label PDOIS a communist party and do  
not label other parties?
Only people who do not understand the term  “communism” or people who are 
impious slanderers would equate PDOIS with  communism.  We know from 
history that communist parties never seek  the mandate of the people; they 
have always forced there way to power. The  Chinese Communists Party 
overthrew its predecessor and forced its mandate  on the people. The Castro 
Regime, The Soviet Union, North Korea are  examples of a communist party.
PDOIS have never been engaged in any  subversive activities. They have 
always sought the mandate of the people.  They have refused to work in a 
government that does not drive its mandate  from the people. They have 
placed their very lives on the line in defense  of civil liberties for all 
Gambians.  
These fine men who deserve our  praise are contrarily being given all kind of 
characterization, slander,  and outright lies against what they have been 
standing for and sometimes  their very personalities are the subject of 
blatant 
lies. 
I wonder  what benefits one receives from deliberate misrepresentation of 
others.  Why can’t we say the truth or keep quite. Just imagine if suddenly 
your  acquaintance started mischaracterizing you unfairly. How would you  
feel?
Why can’t we focus on our common enemy so we can free ourselves from  the 
York of ignorance and impiety-lies about other people?  
Thanks
ML  TOURAY
